And as it grows, placing an increasing burden on social and municipal services, while bring- ing less tax money into the city's coffers, more and more secular Jews are expected to leave. As Ha'aretz columnist Yair Sheleg puts its: "Does anyone imagine that secular Jews will remain in an Orthodox Jerusalem even if they're allowed to travel on its main streets on Shabbat?" Thus, for many, the action on Bar-Ilan Street is one battle in the campaign of psychological warfare. And what is really at stake is not just the social, eco- nomic, or even religious charac- ter of Jerusalem but ultimately its political status. Finally, Uzi Benziman, writ- ing in Ha'aretz, hit the most sen- sitive nerve in noting the paradox that the same government which seems bent on sharpening the confrontation with the Arab world over Jerusalem is simul- taneously alienating secular Is- raelis. "Another concession to the Haredim in Jerusalem and this city will no longer interest the mainstream of Israeli society," he writes. "And then," he adds pointedly, "it will be easy to reach agreement with the Arab world on its status." ❑ Jerusalem" on Bar-Ilan Street last Saturday night. "Give them one street and they want a sec- ond and a third. Give them the entire neighborhood and they want the whole country!" Such rhetoric has been de- nounced as demagoguery not just by Haredi leaders but by some members of the secular commu- nity. Nevertheless, some Haredi spokesmen have done their share to nourish secular fears. "I have personal aspirations that the en- tire State of Israel will close on Shabbat, but I'm not going to turn them into practice now," Shas Knesset member Shlomo Binizri argued in a radio inter- view this week. Those in the secular camp have a suspicion that any victo- ry today will be temporary. "Within a decade, maximum 15 years, there will be a Haredi ma- jority, even absolute Haredi rule, in Jerusalem," said Elazar Strum, chairman of the commis- sion that recommended the com- promise on Bar-Han Street. Indeed, the city's present Haredi population of about 130,000 (roughly a third of Jerusalem's Jews) is expected to double by the year 2015 (mostly through natural increase), rising to 44 percent of the Jewish pub- We buy them, sell them, appraise them, clean them repair them and love them!

Call The Jewish News 354-5959 I is the most beautiful endeav- or of the Jewish people today," enthuses Shmuel Eyal, the di- rector of the pilot project that will soon send 11 young, ideal- istic and slightly anxious Israelis and North Americans for a nine- month visit to two Jewish com- munities in Ukraine. The program is cnlledAmitim ("Colleagues"), a name chosen to stress the spirit of equality and cooperation between the pilot group and their host communi- ties and among the 11 partici- pants from varying backgrounds. Informally, however, Mr. Eyal describes it as the kernel of what Amitim's three sponsors — the Jewish Agency, the Joint Distri- bution Committee, and the Unit- ed Israel Office — are hoping will grow into a Jewish Peace Corps. Proposed by the Atlanta Jew- ish Federation and developed on the Israeli end by the UIO, Amitim was conceived as a re- sponse to two pressing problems in both Israel and the diaspora: how to involve young people in Jewish life and the Zionist en- . deavor, and how to cultivate the communal life of the millions of Jews who remain in the former Soviet Union. "The Ukraine was chosen for the pilot because it is one of the most difficult and challenging places in the Jewish world," ex- plains Mr. Eyal. "The Jewish community there has only re- cently emerged from the under- ground and is in the process of defining itself. It needs contact with people of varying outlooks from Israel and the Diaspora." Among the duties to be as- sumed by the 11 Amitim are in- struction in Hebrew and English, bringing the spirit of Jewish life to their host communities of Vin- nista and Donetsk, and enrich- ing their hosts' perspectives on Zionism and Jewish history, cul- ture, religion and communal life.
