this is just the predictable posturing
that takes place when any Mideast
agreement seems likely, but they
worry about its impact on already-
volatile public opinion in Israel.
"We're at a very delicate stage, and
the huge amount of posturing on all
sides doesn't help," said Robert 0.
Freedman, president of Baltimore
Hebrew University and a leading
peace process supporter. "At this
stage, it will take Uncle Sam to
knock heads together and get things
moving."
But strong U.S. pressure on Israel
is unlikely because of political consid-
erations, he said, and will be ern
unlikelier as the November elections
approach.
But there will be_tacit pressure
because both sides realize the admin-
istration's days are numbered.
"Clinton is probably the best pres-
ident both Israel and the Palestinians
ever had," Freedman said. "If they
want to move together, now is the
time."

This Week
This year's United Jewish
Communities Young Leadership gath-
ering in Washington — which begins
on Sunday — will feature more spiri-
tuality, more of an emphasis on
hands-on community projects, and
the usual mix of briefings, seminars
and the always-popular singles events.
More than 3,000 young givers —
the future economic base of the
newly merged mega-entity created by
the United Jewish Appeal and the
Council of Jewish Federations — will
also hold a rally in front of the
Capitol to honor Jewish members of
the House and Senate.
"We've made a concerted effort to
address the needs of the local com-
munities," said Andrea Bickoff, direc-
tor of UJCs Young Leadership
Division. "Now that UJC is a new
entity owned by the local federations,
we've done some real homework to
get in touch with what they need in
terms of outreach services and
attracting young people." The focus
of the conference willbe less overtly
political than previous conferences.
-"This year, we're putting a lot of
emphasis on what happens after peo-
ple go home," said conference co-
chair Sara Speer Selber of Houston.
"We've designed a program that will
really encourage participants to go
back and get involved in 'mitzvah
projects' in their own communities."
The conference, she said "isn't just
