good to walk with the times. It is -
good to create. We want to make the

times within a Jewish framework."

Finding Meaning
When Oren Yehi-Shalom, 34, of Tel
Aviv is ordained, he mainly sees it as
another degree. "It is a symbol for
something I've learned. I don't know
what I will do with it." But that does-
n't mean that he's not keeping busy.
already.
Yehi-Shalom runs Education
Watch (www.hinuch.org .i1), an inde-
pendent organization that works to
improve Israeli education by
empowering citizens and promoting
Israel as a modern, developed and
democratic country.
While centering on education, he
has broader goals fof Israeli society.
"I want to strengthen the points of
identity that are part of Jewish cul-

ture," he says.
Last Rosh Hashanah he was on a
-
beach in the Sinai desert and was
pleased to find many of his contem-
poraries were eager to have a mean:
ingful Rosh Hashanah. "It often
seems like they only have two
options: to have an empty secular
identity or the ultra-Orthodox fun-
damentalist option,"Yehi-Shalom
explained. He was touched, but not
surprised, that they freely came
together to -review their lives and
relationships and express their
hopes for the coming year.
"We want to help Jews express
being Jewish and celebrate being
Jewish," says Yehi-Shalom of his
efforts. "We need to spread the
infrastructure to help people be
more aware of what they do and why
they do it, and to help them find
solutions to their problems!' LJ
