Rafik Haj Yihye, likewise fell
through.
The ambassador-designate is
already daydreaming of one day
representing Israel in an Arab
country — "That would be a
blessing" — and he does not rule
out a political role somewhere
down the road.
He admits that the disparities
between his vision of Jewish-
Arab relations and the realities
create powerful stresses. But re-
ality and vision are drawing ever
closer, he insists. Does not en-
thusiasm, even his, erode after
so many years? Says Ali Yehie:
"I have no time to erode. I am
doing the most important work
in the world." ❑

When two distinct problems
turn out to be mutual solutions
for each other, we have the mak-
ings of a dramatic story. Here is
an example of one story, in brief.
Numerous young Israelis, af-
ter completing their military ser-
vice, or sometimes after earning
their university degree, seek a
drastic change in lifestyle before
settling down. Thousands go off
on adventure expeditions to In-
dia and other parts of the Far '\
East, to the jungles of South
America — anything for a
change. Many of them get into
trouble, and that is a problem.
Which leads, unsuspectingly,
to a second problem: There are
many tiny Jewish communities
in remote corners of the world
which are struggling to keep the
Jewish spark alive. For the most
part, the Jewish population is
very small; there are not
prospects for fund-raising cam-
paigns, and therefore, they do
not appear high on the lists of
those who dispense aid. By way
of example, there are places like
Nairobi in Africa, Aruba and Cu-
racao in the Caribbean, Baran-
quilla and Quito in South
America, Livorno and Pisa and
Zagreb, among many others in
Europe. They are off the beaten
track, and that is a problem.
What if a framework existed
dedicated solely to providing a
mutual solution to these two
problems?
It does exist, and it is one of
the best-kept secrets in the Jew-
ish world. There is a talmudic
saying that all Jews are re-
sponsible (areivim) for each oth-
er. And so the organization we
speak of is known as Areivim, a
project of the World Union of
Jewish Students, with its head-
