in the WZO as head of its Settle-
ment Department and the Jew-
ish Agency as head of Youth
Aliyah. His management abili-
ties are readily praised even by
his opponents. He was chosen as
the Jewish Agency's acting chair-
man because of his close ties with
Diaspora leaders, and he is Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin's pre-
ferred choice for the position.
Yet at 53, the plump, genial
Mr. Leket remains the dark-
horse candidate. The Israeli press
has portrayed him as a "colorless,
stammering bureaucrat." It's also
no secret that Mendel Kaplan,
chairman of the Jewish Agency's
board of governors, has ques-
tioned his suitability for the job.
Mr. Leket ascribes the criti-
cism to an "underhanded cam-
paign in the press" by his rival.
He also complains of a double-
standard in judging his qualifi-
cations. "When other members of
the board of governors do some-
thing positive, it's called 'leader-
ship,' " one Jewish Agency official
said, "but when Hillik does it,
they call it 'administrative
skills.'"
Mr. Leket also charges that his
detractors portray him as a ves-
tige of the ancien regime when,
in fact, he advocates reform and
believes he is ideally suited to ef-
fect it. ("Revival or requiem" is
the slogan he devised for re-
structuring the WZO.)
Mr. Burg, the ostensible in-
terloper on the scene, projects a
very different image. Radiating
both charm and youth (he turned
40 this week), Mr. Burg sweeps
aside questions about the Jewish
Agency's specific problems ("I'll
have to study them from the in-
side") to focus on the broad issue
of Israel-Diaspora dialogue. "For
the first time ever, the majority
of the world's Jews are living un-
der democratic regimes and have
no external enemy," he explains.
"Israel and the Diaspora essen-
tially face the same cultural chal-
lenge: to define our Jewish
identity in the age of CNN and
MTV."
Mr. Burg also fears that "as
soon as Israel is perceived as a
country living in peace, Diaspo-
ra Jews will switch their atten-
tion to their own communal
needs, so that we must triple our
efforts to keep the Israeli-Dias-
pora partnership alive."
Much of this text is not new.
Some of it comes straight from
Mr. Burg's friend and political
ally, Mr. Beilin. Yet Mr. Burg
draws very different conclusions
about the Jewish Agency's future.
"When Yossi called for closing the
Jewish Agency and redirecting
the fund-raising efforts, his mo-
tive was to change Israel's image
as a country with a chronically
outstretched palm. The problem
with his approach is that it ig-
nores philanthropy as a means of
achieving a sense of belonging or
expressing one's identity." Rather

than disparage the philanthrop-
ic norm, Mr. Burg wants to im-
port philanthropy to Israel to
change the prevailing attitude of
"I deserve" to "I have and I'm will-
ing to share."
On a personal level, Mr. Burg,
chairman of the Knesset Educa-
tion Committee, shares some
common ground with almost
every sector of Diaspora Jewry.
A modern Orthodox Jew, he has
long championed the "removal of
religion from politics" — a view
enthusiastically backed by Con-
servative, Reform and secular or-
ganizations in Israeli society and
the Diaspora. The son of Yosef
Burg, the "elder statesman" of the
National Religious Party (which
promotes continued Jewish set-
tlement in the occupied West
Bank and Gaza), Avrum himself
is an outspoken dove and was
wounded at a 1983 Peace Now
demonstration.
Radiating both
charm and youth,
Mr. Burg sweeps
aside questions
about the Jewish
Agency's specific
problems.
Mr. Leket charges that he has
a history of high-minded promis-
es that never go beyond rhetoric.
Yet Mr. Burg easily parries such
thrusts. "That the agency has
survived the past years is a sign
that its officials are doing good
work," he concedes. "The ques-
tion is: What do we need now?
Just good management or gen-
uine leadership?"
The answer presumably will
emerge from the Feb. 9 election
in the Labor Party's 1,500-mem-
ber Central Committee since the
Jewish Agency chairman is se-
lected by Israel's ruling party.
First, however, the candidates
