The publication of
Yearbook marks the transformation
of One-Year Program
students into OYP alurmi. As
your perspective of the Hebrew
University experience crystallizes
and matures, you may search for the
mast appropriate way of keeping alive
the Jerusalem connection.
This connection will develop different
forms, and on different levels, thus
each individual will in sane way preserve
his own private Jerusalen.
If you wish to maintain a practical link
with the University, we invite you to join
the School of Overseas Students Alurmi
Association. Alurmi are now setting up
regional chapters in various parts of the
United States and Canada. Your affiliation with
such groups will help strengthen the bond betwteen
the University and Alurmi throughout the world.
A growing percentage of ex-OYPers return to
Jerusalem for graduate study: the number 9 awaits
your return. .

End-of-the year letters are a strange occasion - a
mix of trying to find a way to sun up a rich
complex experience; to say good-bye to a group of
students who gave this school life and meaning
during their stay; and to link this year with
us both to your future and ours.
Perhaps the best way to do all these things
is to thank you all for the work, interest
and enthusiasm that you invested during
this year. It is the highest testimony
to what you will take away with you, and
to the work of your teachers and staff
who helped make it come about. Fran
now on, wherever you go or whatever
you fin a lly do, you are part of the
Hebrew University family. You are
part of a tradition that stretches
backwards into time and into a
future to which, in your own
way, you have now contributed.
This is probably the best
going-away gift that we can
give: the consciousness of
joining this tradition and
having added your own
unique impression. Again,
our thanks, our best
wishes for the future,
and our hope to see
you with us again.

“ The land consumes its inhabitants...” So it is written, so it
is. To touch Israel is to be touched, tantalized torm ented in
turn. The haunting voices of this people, landscape, history
clamor to be heard.
May the touch and voices of this land give strength and light
in the years to come.

FROM THE DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF STUDENT
ACTIVITIES
When attem pting to view this year in
perspective, one soon realizes that the experience
o f studying in Israel is an amalgamation o f tangible
and intangible links that form an holistic chain.
Jerusalem and its University are symbols of these
indivisible links.
F or it is Jerusalem that is at the heart of
Judaism. The quest for knowledge and
understanding, as symbolized by the Hebrew
University, is as much a part of the Jewish People
as its yearning for freedom and sovereignty.
To capture the essence of these individual links
and the chain in its entirety is, perhaps, an
impossible task. Prophets, poets, travellers and
theologians alike have been consumed by this
awesome challenge for as long as J erusalem has
existed. This yearbook is part of that heritage. Its
editors and contributors have made their attem pt
to grasp the intangible and focus on the tangibles
th at are the true substance o f their experience at
the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. This volume
represents a tangible link in this historical chain
and, in years to come, may serve as an essential
tool for forming even stronger bonds betw een you
and both the tangibles and intangibles that are
synonym ous w ith Jerusalem.
Sometime in the future, each of you will have
to grapple w ith seeking a self-definition for your
bond to Jerusalem and all it symbolizes. It is my
hope that the tools we have provided you w ith and
the opportunities we have offered you will, in
some small measure, help you to forge your own
link in this eternal chain. Moreover, I am
that you will not only succeed in defining your
place in this chain but make a firm com m itm ent to
the future of Israel and the Jewish People that th

Probably one of the best ways to begin the One Year Program is
to play the peculiar and reliable little game called Jewish
Geography. It is the easiest and by far the most popular way to
meet new people and recognize old acquaintances. The S.O.P
(Standard Operating Procedure) goes something like this:
“Er... Excuse me but... wow... you look familiar.”
“Yeah, so do you. Where are you from” ?
“I’m from (place). And you”?
“I live near there, in (place). I think I remember you from:
A. US Y B. Ramah C. NCSY D. FTY E. BBYO F. Other
jp “Far out, its been so long. Remember me? I’m (name).”
B “I’m (nam e).”
From here the conversation naturally turns to memories. Light
boasting, old love lives, and of course, “What are you doing
here”?
Take, for example, these incidents on the El A1 plane before we
taxied for take off:
“Hi, I’m Josh.”
“Hi, I’m Rebecca.”
“Where are you from” ?
“I grew up in Massachusetts but go to the U. Wisconsin/Madison.”
“Wow, I have a real good friend, D.F. Po. You know him? Tall,
gawky, glasses, short hair, journalism school”?
“Does he belong to ZBT”?
“Yes!”
“He took me to a dance at the frat once.”
“How do you know him”?
“High school.”
“Where do you go to school”?
“Oberlin.”
“Really? I know a couple of guys, J.N. and B.R.”
“Sure I know ’em. We were all in the Kosher Coop together.”
From then on our conversation flowed like good wine, not the
Israeli stuff. And, imagine, it was all due to Jewish Geography.
Next sitting on the other side was Heather. Our talk went
something like this: “Gee you look familiar. I’m Heather.”
“Yeah, I know you from somewhere, I’m...”
“You’re Josh, right”? USY Pilgrimage 1981.”
“Yeah, and you’re Heather Zacker, right”?
“How are you”? we said in unison.
“I know I recognized you from somewhere. You look so
familiar.”
Once again Jewish Geography struck. How on earth did El A1
know to put us together? I don’t know, but during our talks
Paula walked up, being a close friend of Heather’s, recognized me
and proceeded to tell me that our families were friends but had
not seen each other in ten years. Very uncanny. Nonetheless it’s
true and the same could happen to you. Just trust in Jewish
Geography.

It’s funny how Summer Ulpan ended
Afl '
nearly one year ago, yet m y impressions
o f it are so clear that it seems like
"yesterday. I’ll never forget my first day.
I got up early for my ice-cold shower in
ankle-deep water, cooked m yself breakfast
am idst hordes o f scrawny, begging
kittens, and rushed out to battle the
crowds for a standing-room-only spot on
the 28 bus from Givat Ram to Mt.
Scopus.
When I finally found my way through
the labyrinthian halls o f the Humanities
Building to my classroom it was already
full of a menagerie o f people. Peru,
Scotland, Japan, France, and Holland, as
well as N orth America, were represented.
As a class our first words were, “ Mah
Shim khah?” When the teacher got to my
name she laughed and asked w hether “ was pronounced as Dog or Dag (fish). Either way I lost,
b u t I didn’t feel as bad after I realized that someone else’s name was Ken (p ).
A fter the first class I was exhausted and felt as if I had learned nothing. I just felt so stupid when
the teacher would stand over me, spitting words into my face and im patiently waiting for my
inevitably incorrect answers. O f course by the end of the class the m orah would always look as if she
were going to strangle me out o f frustration.
Just as I had resigned myself to Hebraic failure I ended up sitting next to an Israeli on the bus
home. I tried to speak Hebrew and was actually able to primitively com municate. I was thrilled.
Every day we progressed at breackneck speed and learned amazing am ounts o f Hebrew. Quickly a
strong camaraderie developed between the students and our ex-hapless teacher. It was really rewarding
studying Hebrew, for we received immediate gratification and results from using it with Israelis.
As we worked ourselves into the ulpan schedule the intensity of learning increased. Fortunately this
environm ent was alleviated by the many OSA activities as well as the weekends in Tel-Aviv.
Eventually Ulpan ended and I was relieved to have finally finished the stream o f long classroom
hours. At the same tim e I was sorry to see all of the fun things Ulpan entailed.
W ithin the space of just a few weeks many people jum ped one or tw o Hebrew levels. Their successes
were amazing, as m ost of them had no or vejy little background in the Hebrew language before classes
began. I found Ulpan to be a very rewarding period in which all o f us gained valuable basic skills
allowing us to gain a real feel for Israel and her people.

memories
from
theghetto
The bathroom s were simple. A simple shock. The
design was not unique, but rather upsettlingly
similar to those facilities unearthed by archaeologists
throughout the land. Water from each
shower was led through indentations in the floor,
on ditches, to a com m on trough. This trough was
strategically built beneath the sinks so that openended
pipes from each sink could em pty their
contents into the ditch. Em pathy with the ancient
Romans was the result, for daily these ditches
overflowed. These swelling puddles, w ith soap
scum resting above, took the m ost logical course:
across the hall to the kitchen.
The clogging was caused by a simple phenomenon
— cat hairs. Ha-Elef was student dorm itory
in the books, but anyone who has inhabited those
structures knows that in practice there is a larger
population o f cats than students. Every night was
full of shrieks and screams... sounds of turm oil
within our com peting neighborhood of cats. Perhaps
the m ost shocking part of this element of the Givat
Ram experience were the signs that went up on
every entrance, “ D on’t touch the cats, they have
diseases.” Funny — becuase just yesterday there
were tw o cats in our kitchen wandering from one
table to the next, wiping every surface with their
tails. Diseases? And what exactly were those
diseases? We were never certain, but our doubt
caused those felines to become our enemies. We
were at war everyday — coaxing them through the
halls and out the doors... beating them to the
kitchen, slamming our doors right before they
made an entrance. Strongly, in spite of the stressful
situation, the day those cats fell silent the Givat
Ram residents were left uneasy. And what exactly
happened to the cats anyway?
Such shared experiences have a tendency to
unite populations, and this population was united.
Having confronted these daily challenges together,
— this population became a strangely “ united
front.”

T H E G R E A T A D V E N T U R E -,
t h e first m o n th
When I volunteered to write about my six-week
sentence at Givat Ram, I thought it would be no
problem to think of some experience that I had
while there. But for some reason, I’ve lost (blocked
out) all memory associated with that place I once
called home.
I think Givat Ram, where we stayed during
summer Ulpan, will always hold a special place in
all our hearts and in all our m inds-except for those
o f you, poor souls, how had to spend your Ulpan
in Haifa.
What follows are some of my favorite m om ents
that I’d like to share. Hopefully, upon reading this,
you too, will remembers your fondest times there.
I rem em ber the mornings of standing in front
of the shower, telling myself that a little cold water
never hurt anyone.
Or standing calmly by m yself and waiting for
the No. 28 bus. And as it approched, being engulfed
by 200 other sleepy souls, all vying for the
same space on that bus.
I also remember being part of that experimental
group that actually lined up to wait for the bus.
Oh, the stories that driver m ust’ve told at the
station that day!
I always used to wonder what it would taste
like if I put a cat in my W onderpot on high heat.
How ’bout that morning when we came out of
the shower and saw that briefcase in the hall, all by
itself. “ No, you go get Amotz, I ’ll run like hell!”
But there were good times at Givat Ram, too.
It was there that I found the true meaning of
Shabbat. Everyone who didn’t catch the last bus
out of Jerusalem got together with his or her
specialty and we tasted new and exotic foods, like
Rochelle’s rice!
I could go on and on, but I w on’t. We all have
the memories we want to keep from our stay there.
So I’ll close with this final thought...
I’ve thought for many hours why we were
forced to endure Givat Ram and the only solution
I could come up with was the sole purpose of our
stay at Givat Ram was to make us appreciate Mt.
Scopus that much m o re. If that was the reason, it
worked.

Entry No. 1 :
Well, this past weekend can be defined as one of the most
memorable of my life. I am very drained from all the
activity. I stayed in Baruch Levine’s youth hostel for Rosh
Hashanah and for the following Shabbat Shuva. I stayed
with various families around Jerusalem for the festive
meals. I learned a great deal about myself and about my
Judaism. For example, I learned that we eat a pomegranate
during Rosh Hashanah, so that our mitzvot will increase
like the numerous seeds in the fruit. We also dipped our
challah into honey, so we can be blessed (hopefully) for a
sweet year — as opposed to the usual custom of dipping in
salt, which is symbolic of past sacrifices.
I davened at one of the Sephardic shuls in the Jewish
Quarter on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. They have an
interesting custom of really elaborating the Torah service. I
thought that was very nice, especially since it reminded me
of a story I once heard that goes as follows: “Prayers are
our way of talking to God while Torah reading is actually
God ‘talking’ to us.” Some of their unique customs are
opening the Torah when it is initially taken out, auctioning
off aliyot and shaking a person’s hand after being called up
to the bimah and then immediately kissing their tzitzit.
This is their only way of sharing the honor with others.
Entry No. 2:
My whole life has been building to this time in my life
when I see the clear picture of Judaism. I had always been
intrigued by the Shabbat service, especially the songs. I owe
this early love of Judaism to my parents. My mother would
take me to shul every Shabbat when I was a little boy. As I
grew older, I was able to hold on to my traditional Jewish
values. My six-week tour of Israel two years ago was the
key to unlocking my true Jewish identity. Consequently,
I’m now striving to be a committed observant Jew.
I believe in miracles! The Almighty has been so great to
me that I can’t even count the ways. The Almighty has led
me to the discovery of the truths and pleasures of this
world. Now I have the obligation as well as the opportunity
of returning this kindness by becoming diligent in the study
of Torah. God willing, I can change myself instead of being
changed by outside pressures.

Fickleness has never been a trait of mine (at least a
strong one) until the time arrived for me to decide how I
would spend my October break. Before departing for
Israel, I had firmly decided to travel to Greece and Italy
during this break. My firm decisions began to crumble in
Ulpan; I realized how weak my command of Hebrew was
and decided to remain in Israel to strengthen my
language skills and to acquaint myself with Israelis and
their way of life. The best alternative, I thought at the
time, would be to five on a Kibbutz.
Well, after I heard some riveting horror stories about
volunteers on kibbutzim, I changed my mind again.
Simultaneously, I was suffering from a bout of homesickness
and considered popping over to the States for a
brief visit. Finally, one week before vacation, I decided
that I wanted to live with a family on a moshav. The
benefits of a moshav would be threefold: I could fulfill
my childhood dream of living on a farm, I’d cure my
homesickness by living with a family, and I’d experience
one form of Israeli life.
I was set up with a non-English-speaking Yemenite
family with five kids - the epitome of culture shock.
(Maybe I will go to Greece and Italy; it’s not too late...)
So the following week, I headed up to the moshav,
which was ultimately a great experience, although I was
hesitant to think so at first.
I arrived late afternoon on Erev Rosh Hashanah, as
Sarah, the wife and mother of the household, was in the
midst of a last-ditch effort to make the house sparkle
before the New Year. I approached the house in as
graceful a manner as possible: With pools of sweat
gliding down my face, I lugged my suitcase, a totebag,
backpack, purse, and flowers up a never-ending, jagged
hill which the family lived upon.
Sarah greeted me with a hug, kiss, and an offer of
lemonade. (I liked her already.) As I sipped my
lemonade, I observed Sarah’s exhaustive efforts to
maintain the children and the house, and I conveyed to
her my desire to help make life easier for her during my
month stay. Suddenly, the grandmother thrust a mop
into my hands and told me if I wanted to help, I could
start by scrubbing the floor. I quickly felt a cement pit
expand and sink in my stomach. Sarah quickly snatched
the mop from my hands and shot a nasty glance in her
mother’s direction. I wasn’t looking forward to spending
time alone with the grandmother.
While I sat stiffly glued to my seat attempting to
dodge the grandmother’s-*glares, Sarah began to hurl
questions at me-in rapid Hebrew and I wanted to drown
in my lemonade. I -thought the cement pit in my
stomach would drag me through the floor. Sarah finally
grew tired of my “excuse me” ’s and “slower please”,
and guided me to my room. I faintly heard her teeth
gritting behind her polite smile. “Okay” . I thought, “I’ll
try to listen harder next time.”
I began to feel more at ease with signs of familiarity
at dinner time. I was delighted to see chicken soup
simmering on the stove because it was ‘just like home.
After I sampled a spoonful, however, I realized that
Mom never made chicken soup that burned a hole

through my tongue. Now I knew that problems were
ahead-whoever heard of spicy chicken soup? I glanced
around the table and watched in dismay as the kids
plunked raw jalapeno peppers and onions into mouths as
if they were munching on french fries. That night, I
learned the word “harif” , which means “spicy” in
Hebrew.
As I nervously awaited the next course, I tried to
soothe my throbbing gums, tongue, and cheeks with
pita. Sarah served me a heaping portion of what
appeared to be lasagna at first, but under more
scrutinous observations, looked like pine cones in
tomato sauce. My singeing-red checks cooled to palewhite;
I felt like the king’s food sampler —would I die
or survive this meal? I took a bite and didn’t know how
to gracefully spit out the food since there were no
napkins. The family watched in awe — where did this
creature come from? Sarah asked me if I knew what was
piled on my plate and I thought of some very vulgar
replies but managed to restrain myself. She explained
that it was lamb, and a giggle ensued around the table. I
couldn’t understand what was so funny about eating
lamb. She pointed to her backside to clarify which part
of the lamb I ate. “What a relief,” I sighed to myself. “I
thought it was the product and not the body part.”
Finally, the long-awaited bedtime arrived and I
joyfully pulled away from the table and attempted to
constrain my jubilation by slowly slithering out of my
chair and creeping up the stairs to signify my alleged
exhaustion. I relished the peacefulness of my bedroom
but the peacefulness was short-lived. At 3 a.m. and 5:30
a.m., I was awakened by two screeching roosters nestled
comfortably under my window. As I tossed and turned
to regain unconsciousness, the lingering odor of manure
continually pierced my nostrils and disrupted my
attempts to sleep.
My slumber was cut short again at 6 a.m. by the
screams, cries, and whines of the children. I was already
dreading the day and wanted to curl up in my blanket
and land on the shores of Greece. My fickleness was
returning...
Despite my initial discomfort, my stay with the
family was extremely positive and rewarding. They
accepted me immediately; although it took the grandmother
a little longer, she finally came around. In fact,
she started a routine of hugging and kissing me in the
mornings. I didn’t mind, but it was a little disconcerting
when she’d hug me with a dead, half-plucked chicken
hanging limply in one of her hands.
Anyway, I learned a lot about their religious
lifestyle by observing Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and
Sukkot with them, which was very meaningful to me. I
also learned how to milk a cow and I even witnessed the
birth of one. Most importantly, they opened their home
and their hearts to me and welcomed me into their
family.
Fickleness sometimes pays off.

TO TRAMP OR NOT TO TRAMP
I spent my first weekend in Haifa going home with my roommate, Tikva. Her family lives in Ashqelon, which is a small town about
55 km south of Tel Aviv. Aside from having a wonderful time while in Ashqelon —meeting my roommate’s family, being fed “real”
food, and being in a “home,” I also had quite an exciting experience getting here.
Tikva asked me to go home with her about half an hour before she was planning to leave. Okay, that wasn’t a problem —I
had money to take a bus and the Ulpan hadn’t begun, so I didn’t have any homework yet. 1 was ready to be on my way. Tikva said
it would take about three hours to get there. We began our escapade on a city bus that left from the University. She had mentioned
something about getting a “tram” after taking the bus to what I thought she called “Freud” street.(Oh no, what a name to mention
to a psychology major!) Okay, a “tram.” I hadn’t been on one of those yet. I had images of the shuttle buses in Santa Cruz, or the
cable cars in San Francisco. What did she mean, a “tram”?
It only took me a few minutes to figure out what she meant by tramming. She was actually talking about that age-old
phenomenon (illegal in the US) of “hitchhiking.” All right, I was getting the picture (as my mother’s voice lingered through my
mind, “Don’t hitchhike, and...”) and was quite calm about the whole thing. After all, I was an experienced Israeli trammer who
travelled this way quite often. I found myself standing at what used to be a bus stop with my index finger pointing in the direction
of Tel Aviv, from where we would continue to “tram” till Ashqelon! It took quite a while before we found someone going to the
right place. Many cars stopped, Tikva asked them something in Hebrew, received either a “yes” or a “no” answer and we hung
around until we found someone going to Tel Aviv. I was still calm. Tikva assured me, and I trusted her.
We ended up getting a ride with a soldier. Tikva got into the front seat with him and I sat in the back of the truck with my
backpack and camera, the wind blowing in my face and, in the background, a Hebrew conversation between Tikva and the
somewhat obnoxious soldier.
This was an experience I’d never forget, I thought, even before we got to Tel Aviv, and I didn’t realize how many more
“trams” it would take to get to Ashqelon. Some people would stop and only be willing to take us a short distance. We finally got to
Tel Aviv and it took about three more trams before getting to Ashqelon. At one point we got a ride from a man driving a big-load
truck. He seemed nice enough to me. He asked Tikva, in Hebrew, where I was from and she explained what I was doing here. I
found Tikva sitting very close to me, although we seemed to have a lot of room. She appeared a little uneasy and the next thing I
knew, she had asked him to pull over and I found myself on the side of a foreign highway, not really knowing where I was. It turns
out the man was an Arab and Tikva didn’t feel safe. Her uneasiness was getting me a bit unsure of myself, but I assured myself that
it would all work out, as it, in fact, did.
Tikva didn’t think I had enjoyed our escapade to Ashqelon and the whole weekend she kept reminding me that we would be
taking a bus on the way back. Although I found the tramming trip quite exciting, new, and unpredicable experience, it was a bit of
a comfort to know that we take a more “conventional” means (in American terms anyway) on the return trip to Haifa.
Hitchhiking, or tramping (it is tramping, not tramming, as I was corrected a few days later) is a prevalent means of transportation
here for both the Israelis and the many students and tourists, though it’s not really for me.

MINI
M ARV A
t h e n ria fv a
experience
After completing course Marva, I feel that this course should be done by as
many young Jewish people throughout the world as possible. Why? Nearly
every Jew outside Israel has some connection with Israel through family ties,
studying, lectures from the local Rabbi or just hearing about Israel in the
world news. One way or another we pay a great deal of attention to this small
area of land in the Middle East.
A lot of Jewish teenagers come here for a summer holiday. Many
parents donate money and then come to see where it’s going. To see Israel
through the windows of a tourist bus or on top of a hotel balcony, one sees a
country of romance, a new state only 37 years old, surviving against all odds,
filled with heroic stories from recent wars as well as the battles of ancient
Israel.
Course Marva offers an inside look as to how the army works; a little
pain and a lot of motivation is all one needs to participate in this special army
program. The course draws Jews from all over the world and for three months
stresses the concept, (heb.) (togetherness), as well as describing what Israel is
all about.
Several aspects of one’s life in Israel can be fulfilled with happiness and
simple loyalty. Yet there is that other side of life here, the army, which many
people find hard to understand. The concept of the army can be frightening
to a Jew contemplating settling here in Israel. After having participated in
course Marva, the importance and meaning of the army and its relationship to
the whole of Israel was revealed.
Course Marva enables one to view the country through the eyes of the
army. This view results in the formation of strong political opinions, despite
the fact that politics is forbidden in the I.D.F.
Finally, the motivation level in course Marva was extremely high; perhaps
because we realized at the end, that the first war Israel loses will be its last war

The Sinai: a region o f the world which evokes
the image o f some of the world’s roughest
terrain, the passion of Biblical feelings, and a
sense o f history unrivaled for its brutality and
beauty. Israel has been greatly influenced by this
area since her inception as a nation. Moses
received the Ten Com m andm ents here, bringing
together a loose collection of tribes into a
unified people. Israel’s survival as a modern
nation has rested on the peace o f the Sinai.
For many of the One Year Programmers
who have traveled there, the Sinai is their first
contact w ith Egypt. But the Sinai is as different
from Egypt, as Cairo is from Luxor. The journey
into the Sinai begins at Taba, where everyone
experiences the feeling of standing at the crossroads
of nations. A glance behind reveals the
Israeli port o f Eilat, next to it is the Jordanian
tow n of Aqaba, over to the East is Saudi Arabia,
and ahead —Egypt.
As the Sinai bus makes its way down to
Egypt the beauty o f the Sinai becomes apparent.
The deep blue waters o f the Red Sea contrast
sharply w ith the barren, vivid red Sinai m ountains.
As the bus meanders along the coastal
routes and m outain passes, the first glimpse of
the Sinai’s historical site is Coral Island. This
island, holding the ruins of a fort, is just 200
yards from the shoreline. Coral Island served as a
smugglers base right up to the Israeli occupation
in 1967.
Continuing along the highway one can see
the real inhabitants of the Sinai: the Bedouin, a
colorful, hospitable people (don’t m eet them at
night) who are willing to share a cup o f tea with
strangers. These exotic people live a nomadic life
made mobile by the camel. Even though they
have had contact w ith the westerner, you are as
fascinating to them as they are to you. The
Bedouin appear out o f a seemingly tractless
wasteland, willing to take tourists on camel
treks into the forbidding m ountains of the Sinai.
The first of the Sinai’s three major towns
appears: Nuweiba. A ccom odation is available in
palm huts (basically low rent) constructed on
the beach. Here the real fascination of the Red
Sea becomes apparent: coral. One can only
understand the sensation of coral swimming by
actually experiencing it. The variety of multicoloured
fish, the sharp tangles of coral, and the
transparency of the water, blends to create a
pleasing setting which is unique throughout the
world.
The other two Sinai towns offer the spectacular
sport of skin diving. Dahab, situated
approxim ately midway down the coast, is a
welcome sight to one travelling through the
rugged m ountain terrain. Na’ama Bay, located
near Sharem-e 1-Sheikh, offers some of the most
beautiful coral diving in the world. Swimming
amongst its reefs is like taking a scene from the
movie “ Jaw s,” for its spookiness, and a scene
from a science movie, for the fantastic sights.
A trip to the Sinai is never complete until
one has had a chance to visit the jewel of this
region: M ount Sinai. Here Moses the prophet
received G od’s order to free the Israelites from
slavery. Here God gave Moses the commandm
ents which were to be used to govern the
Israelites when they were freed. The beauty and
ruggedness of Mount Sinai blends in with the
surrounding area, helping one to understand
why this m ountain is referred to as the place
where God dwells. The journey ends with a visit
to St. Catherine’s Monastery to see the skulls of
Monks, piled high on top of each other, that
have accumulated over the centuries.

The Old Country
As we drove closer to the village of my grandparent’s birth,
the Czechoslovak countryside in the foothills of the
Carpathian mountains intrigued me with their calmness and
beauty. The names of the towns we passed through were
familiar Humenne, Michalovce, Medzilaborce, Habura. I
remember Paw Paw and Nanny mentioning the markets and
other memories of these places.
Soon, I realized that we were rapidly approaching my
village. For years I had waited for this moment to see with
my own eyes, the place that my grandparents called home.
We finally crossed the village line and there I was in
Certizne. What a beautiful and simple little shtetl. Was this
for real or was it just a dream? Was I actually walking the
same narrow dirt roads that my Nanny once played in as a
child? Was this really the same house that Paw Paw was
bom in? It seemed so inconceivable to actually stand on the
other side of the world and experience what Paw Paw and
Nanny had told me so far away. If only they could have
lived for a couple more years, I would have had so much to
tell them about their kleine shtetl. The peasants were still
out in the fields cutting and bailing hay. The horses and
wagons still carried their payloads through town. Everything
was the same as when they had left, nothing had changed.
Nothing, except that there were no Jews. All of the
relatives, all of the friends, all gone, not even a trace that
they were once there. Nanny’s house where she was bom,
grew up, and was married, had been destroyed. Only an old
wood picket fence and weed-filled lot remained.
They were so bold to move to another comer of the
world knowing that they would probably never see their
parents again. The night they left, after travelling two hours
by wagon to Humenne, Nanny made Paw Paw turn the
wagon back because she felt that her parents were crying
because their last daughter was leaving them. When they
finally arrived back in Certizne in the middle of the night,
they looked in the candle lit-window only to find that they
were fast asleep. Her heart at rest, they turned around and
began their long and tedious journey to America. Nanny
died, always wondering what became of her Papa, for
during the war the letters had stopped. Nanny, I found out
what Jhey did to your Papa, so old and kind, they led him
off like a sheep to slaughter. Don’t cry Nanny, I cried for
you already; save your tears for me.
Now, the only thing left to do was to go to the
cemetery, to find the graves of their parents and grandparents,
and say Kaddish for them. As I walked towards the
green hills on the outskirts of the village, I came to the
Laborec River which was shallow enough to walk across the
stones in the middle of the stream. I could still see the
wagon wheel marks on the trail where less than 40 years
earlier the Jews would carry the bodies of their loved ones
to their final resting places on this beautiful mountainside
overlooking Certizne.
As I proceeded through the dense woods, I realized
that the cemetery was no longer in a scenic meadow but
was now overgrown with trees and shrubs. There, jetting
out into eternity as countless years fade into a thousand
twilights, the ancient crumbling stones, their shoulders
faltering, lean forward and to one side. Somé feet breaking,
fall cold on their faces. Their inhabitants all reaching out to
no one, weeping, “We were once here, flourishing, even in
the midst of persecution and turmoil, but now we are gone,
and the likes of us never to be seen or heard of again.”
Their home, musty earth and soggy leaves, names fading
with the weather.
As I came across the graves of my great-grandmother
and her parents, the names became blurry as the tears
clouded my eyes and my memory took me back to the
stories that my Paw Paw and Nanny had once told me
about these very people, when I was a child. They did live,
they did have hearts and souls, they were no longer just
ghosts, pictures, or mental images. I’ve found you now,
never to let you go, only to be locked in the vaults of my
memory forever, for I have come home.

MISM
When I think of the topic of Zionism I have visions
of Buber, A.D. Gordon, and Heschel setting pen to
paper to begin a Master’s treatise. While by no
means do I consider myself amongst that distinguished
academic fellowship, I believe that I have
something to say on the matter.
I’ve been a member of a number of different
workshops here, including Activism and Chug
Aliya, and it seems that a concrete definition of
the word “Zionism” is always sought. I compare
Zionism or being a Zionist to the concept of
“love.” You can try all you want to describe and
defend it, but when it comes down to it you can
only feel it.
What does this mean? For me, Zionism is a
feeling both emotional and intellectual. Zionism is
loving this place. Zionism is going to Masada and
feeling a lump in your throat when remembering
the sacrifice of long ago. Zionism is looking out
over the Kinneret or the Gulf of Eilat and being
awestruck by the magnificence. Zionism is picking
melons on Kibbutz Saad and working in the
kitchen in Kibbutz Gvulot. Zionism is seeing a
formation of fighter planes and feeling proud that
in a way you are connected with them.
It’s quite a rosy picture that I’ve painted. This
picture is sometimes clouded by ugly politics, war,
aggressivebehaviour,and a seemingly endless bureaucracy.
This is an absolutely gorgeous country,
which I love with all my heart, but which is by no
means perfect. Israel needs Zionists* people who
love her and are willing to work to remove the
clouds that sometimes cover this most beautiful
painting.

Dne of the strongest workshops offered by O.S.A. this year was Chug Aliyah. Many °Y P ers who plan on
naking Aliyah participated in this Chug. We established a “ chevrei” (group) and with Rina as our
eader a support group was formed, with Alyah the com m on denom inator.
Every Monday night the chevrei trekked up to Goldsmith for yet another stimulating debate. Our
speakers varied in their religious, political and social backgrounds, and they also differed in
com m itm ent and in their stance on Aliyah. This led to interesting discussions on various aspects of Aliyah
£ w?U « fascinating and heated debates - not only between the chevrei and the speakers, but among the
" t t g S X had the oportunity to participate in some interesting tiyulim. For example, we
tiyuled to the Negev and visited a development town. We met w ith the young adults of a Bnei Akiva group
to discuss their opinions on Aliyah from a m odern religious outlook. There was
m odern religious settlem ent on the West Bank, where we met with the com m unity s Chief Rabbi Riskm.
was there we made our T.V. debut, appearing on West German T.V.
In short we have all become much more enlightened in regard to our aspirations for A l i y a h and have
c o m e to the realization that, above all, Aliyah is a personal decision. We also hope to see the whole chevrei
back in Israel on Gar’in in ’86.

T rip to the N egev & Officers Training Academ y
Our trip began on a Thursday evening
when madricha Rina Buberoglu and
17 students left Goldsmith for W.UJ.S.
in Arad. We arrived two-and-a-half hours
late, well within Jewish Standard Time.
The visit to W.UJ.S. included a video
presentation on the W.UJ.S. One Year
Absorption Program for university graduates,
and a discussion with some of the
program’s participants.
Early the next morning we picked up
our guide, Zvi Leverich, in Be’er Sheva,
continuing on to Ein Avdat, Ben-Gurion’s
home at Kibbutz Sde Boker, and finally
to Makhtesh Ramon. Late that afternoon
we arrived for a Shabbat stay at an
Officers’ Training Academy. Because most
soldiers were on weekend leave, the camp
had an eerie emptiness. At our orientation
lecture, Zvi outlined the criteria for
grading potential officers. These included
leadership, military thinking and strategy,
combat ability, and physical fitness. He
explained that approximately 30% of the
candidates become officers.
Before dinner, I attended Shabbat
services. It was an overwhelming experience,
a feeling of solidarity with the
soldiers. That evening we participated in
an informal discussion with the soldiers,
many of whom had not met Americans
their own age. They were curious as to
our views of the army: Would we like to
enlist? How would we feel in an army
uniform? It seemed that our responses
did not measure up to their enthusiastic
expectations. We also discussed with them
the controversial Lebanon war, which led
to arguments between the soldiers.
Another topic of discussion was our
Jewish identity. There was some confusion
due to our definitions of this identity.
In general, explained Zvi, the soldier’s
identity is national-cultural, whereas ours
is cultural-religious. He said that the army
is trying to inculcate in soldiers the
national, cultural and religious aspects, in
order to increase the soldier’s identification
with world Jewry.
When the discussion shifted to Aliya,
we did a lot more smiling than talking.
We tried to explain that Aliya is a big
decision, and that new immigrants face a
difficult transition period. We left the
Academy with an adrenaline shot of

I have been on almost every OSA tiyul this year and found
the VIP trip to the Galil to be one of the best. VIP stands
for “Very Interesting People,” and the OSA sure showed us
some of the more interesting figures of the Galil. It was a
two-and-a-half day tiyul with many fascinating highlights.
On the first afternoon we visited Ir Ha Vradim (Rose
City), which is an exciting, new, suburban-style settlement
on a hill overlooking Ma’alot. Each plot of land is equipped
with a sophisticated computer, phone, water and satellite
capability hook-up just waiting for a home to be attached.
We found out that we could buy from $24,000; one woman
on our trip was ready to buy, but they just didn’t take
credit car ds( Evidently Karl Malden is not an Israeli figure.)
It was on that day that we realized that an Israeli tour guide
must claim at least once at every site that, ‘ On a clear day
you can see” ", a) the Kinneret, b) the Dead Sea,or c)
Damascus.
Our first night was spent in Ma’alot where we met a
group of Ethiopian junior high school students. An exciting
discussion of Rabbi Kahane ensued, in which our opinions
were drowned out in a sea of screaming voices.
The next day included a tiyul to a Druze village, and a
visit to Amirim, a vegetarian moshav. It was at the moshav
that we were shocked to discover that Bubby s sacrosanct
chicken soup was actually equal to drinking urine. That
didn’t stop us, however, from having a traditional Shabbat
dinner with Hassidic families at Kiryat Chabad in Sefad.
After dinner we all got together in one of the Ascent
Institute’s apartments, ate popcorn, drank imitation rum
and sweet Shabbos wine. The next morning a few of us
were fortunate to wake up, albeit with headaches and other
assorted ailments, for the heater had sprung a gas leak. We
were sick all day.
That night we were redeemed, for our plans to hike to
Rosh Pina didn’t go well, and we got to attend an Ethiopian
celebration. It was wonderful singing, dancing, and using
our Hebrew to communicate. Only afterwards did we make
it to Rosh Pina, where we had an intense pillow fight.
Along with the headaches, the next morning we awoke to
madrich Meron HaCohen’s charming and annoying, “Waky,
Waky!” I am sure that Meron will go down in our annals as
quite an interesting person.
The trip ended with a visit to the first kibbutz -
Degania Aleph, a beautiful place that is located at the
southern tip of the Kinneret. A tour was given by an elderly
lady who emigrated to Israel in 1932 after teaching Hebrew
in Poland for 15 years. She was an inspiring figure who
made Kibbutz life and kibbutz development come alive for
us.
I must say that we all had a great time. Not only were
the people we met very interesting, but our madrichim were
quite bizarre. OSA planned well. I can only hope that we
can all meet more “Very Interesting People.”

CROSS-CULTURAL PROGRAM
I thought I was hopelessly outclassed. My cross-cultural
student is in graduate school studying English language
comprehension, while' my Hebrew level is a finger nails
Bet —that is, I’m holding on to Hebrew by my fingertips.
What could I offer him? What would I get in return?
Was it worth the investment of time? It has been five
months now into the program, and the results are fabulous.
First: I made a friend. If nothing else, this makes the
program a success for me. Second: my friend benefits
tremendously. We even met during the OYP break. I
sometimes found it difficult to explain his complicated
English texts in easy English, but I found that my
uncomplicated Hebrew could sometimes simplify the task
of explanation. We are trying to schedule even more
meetings each week. Third: I benefitted. The small points
of Hebrew that confused me, the words I couldn’t find in
the dictionary (because I was looking in the wrong place),
and the discipline of reading an article in —hebrew ^ in
preparation for our meetings, have all helped my Hebrew.
My only complaint: that the program started three
months after the beginning of the year.

So v i e t j e w r y
Last year while we were enjoying the delights of
life in the Diaspora, or the view of Jerusalem from
the Social Science Building, only 908 of the many
Jews wanting to leave the Soviet Union were
allowed to do so. To find out more about them
and how we could help them , some o f us joined
the Soviet Jewry Chug run by Meir Fachler, who
brings a rare intensity to this issue. A lthough there
is only a limited am ount that we can do, one of the
purposes o f our Chug was to raise our consciousness
of the m atter and through us, others. In this it
succeeded.
We m et on Tuesday evenings to discuss the
plight o f Soviet Jew ry or to hear a speaker. For
example, a recent émigré described his life in the
Soviet Union — his arrest, punishm ent and in this
case happy, release. But there is always someone
else — a wife, husband, sibling, close friend —who
has not been let out yet.
Near the end o f the first semester we organized
an evening of Solidarity with Soviet Jewry. The
speakers included Avraham Harman, Yuri Stern,
and Minister W ithout Portfolio Yoske Shapiro.
Harman emphasized the real possibility of a
Holocaust occurring to Russian Jewry. He also
pointed out that there was no need for us to be
scared to help Soviet Jewry by writing letters,
petitions, or by dem onstrating. For Soviet Jews
face far greater risks. He further stated that
although it may seem one person can do only a
little, 10,000 can achieve a lot.
Perhaps the high point of the Chug was the
weekend seminar. Zvi Wolf talked about his trip to
the Soviet Union. Interspersing the talk with
relevant anecdotes, he made his point. The Soviet
Union is really a dreary, oppressive country. “ Those
stories we hear about how bad communism is, are
true,” he said. “ I passed a bleak sports stadium and
saw expressionless spectators file out in nonspontaneous
conform ity.” The Soviet Jew s” are
just like us” and we have an obligation to help
them. He described how, although Hebrew teaching
and culture were suppressed, Soviet Jews strive
against trem endous difficulties to learn what they
can. When he told them he was a Hebrew teacher
and offered his services, his host had him teach 16
or more hours a day — w ithout a break or
socializing. At the same time, they displayed a
keen understanding of very difficult Talmudic
passages which would usually take his Talmud
students days to understand. We can do the
socializing ourselves, they pointed out. A fter lunch
Y osef Mendelevich gave a rambling talk, which still
struck hom e w ith its sincerity. In the evening, Dr.
Zeev Katz related the history o f Soviet Jewry
between 1881-1914. He noted 2,250,000 Jews
emigrated from Russia to the United States,
Canada, Palestine, and other countries, forming the
basis o f western Jewry. A num ber o f people raised
their hands when asked if they were of Russian or
Eastern European descent. In a real sense, the
Soviet Jews are our brothers.
I have to adm it that listening to the plight of
Soviet Jew ry is a disillusioning and depressing
experience, leaving me apathetic at times. One is
not only struck by the callousness of a regime
which has abandoned even ordinary canons of
hum an kindness in its dealings w ith those Jews
who have done no more than apply for an exit visa;
it displays nothing but its intransigence in prohibiting
the emigration o f Jews who have caused no
harm to the Soviet state and whose emigration
would cause it no loss. One wonders w hat one can
do with such a regime. The seminar suggested that
activism in countries such as the United States,
which has a lot of influence over the Soviet Union,
constitutes the main hope. Such countries should
not be allowed to ignore the cause of Soviet Jewry
in the belief that no Jews care about it. That, the
Chug tried to convey to us, is our responsibility, as
much as our task. For, as Baruch Gurevitch, an
Israeli official dealing with Soviet Jewry, pointed
out, “We are doing this as m uch for ourselves as for
them .”

it was
just an idea
What a crazy idea! !
A m idnight vigil to remind George Shultz
the plight of Soviet Jewry?
Could it be done?
We gathered in the lobby of the Shoresh Hotel,
all very excited about the idea and very determ ined
to accomplish something. And why not? The
whole reason we were there was to take part in an
“ activism” convention.
As everyone called out suggestions, we began
to realize just how many obstacles stood in our
way.
How could we realistically transport two hundred
students to the King David Hotel, where
Shultz was spending the last night of his visit to
Israel?
What were our goals? Did we w ant to risk
offending Shultz, a proven friend of Israel?
In order to insure the success o f the vigil, the
press had to be notified. But would they respond
on such short notice?
For every obstacle that was presented, our
enthusiasm and recognition of our unique opportunity
made us that much more determ ined to create
a meaningful event from a spontaneous idea.
We broke into groups, each group discussed
im portant aspects of the vigil. Posters had to be
made. A letter to Shultz had to be written. The
logistics had to be planned. And we still hadn’t
asked the madrichim.
When we did, they brought up other obstacles
that hadn’t even been considered. We need a police
permit. We’d have to pay for buses to take us to
Jerusalem and back. We weren’t even sure if
Schultz was in Jerusalem! The feasibility of our
goals had to be questioned.
Our next step was to present the idea to the
entire convention. With the support and participation
of everybody, more questions were answered,
and our goals became more defined.
As we anxiously waited for the end of Shabbat,
we all began to realize the undertaking we had
assigned ourselves. By eight-thirty, an air of skepticism
and self-doubt mingled with our excitem ent
and desire for accomplishment.
Two hours later, like a polaroid instant picture,
our fuzzy suggestions of the afternoon were
2 a ra s a s ? -
•O n t>\
«SE S
'>£>0/
becoming clearer. The press had been notified, the
police had said yes, the letter was being com pleted,-
and the buses were on their way! ! !
Before we knew it, it was time for our words to
become actions. We boarded the buses with a
candle in one hand, and a poster in the other.
The bus ride seemed an eternity. Last minute
instructions were given, questions were answered,
and still, in the back of our minds skepticism
remained.
As the excitem ent level constantly rose we
approached our destination. And then, we heard
it... “ Kol Yisrael m ’Yerushalayim...” Our cheers
erupted, we’d made the midnight news! !
When we got there, the scene was like out of a
movie. Police barricades, television cameras, reporters,
photographers, and in front of the hotel, some
official-looking people. We lined King David Street,
silently displaying our posters, our feelings, to Mr.
Shultz, the press, and the countless cars and buses
that passed by us. We weren’t “ saying” a word, but
we were definitely being heard.
We read and presented the letter of support for
Mr. Shultz to one of his aides, thanked him, and
continued our demonstra... uh, vigil, and then
walked to Liberty Bell Park, where, while singing
“ Hatikvah” we realized that we do have a voice,
and we can try to make a difference.

m Y tittle sister
Last spring I had an interview to come on the One
Year Program at the American Friends of Hebrew
University office. The gentlem an who interviewed
me kept stressing th at the only way to assure a
good year would be if I volunteered. Of course I
said, “ Yes, yes, I really w ant to get involved with
Israelis,” because I w anted to come here, b u t I had
no idea w hat that would mean.
In the fall I was assigned to my little sister,
Ziva. I w ent t a her house, after a disastrous phone
call during which I forgot all my Hebrew. I was
sure that her family thought I would not be able to
com m unicate w ith them . In the first meeting Ziva
stood in the corner and refused to talk to me.
Needless to say, I left feeling, “ This is volunteering” ?
But slowly the situation improved and Ziva warmed
to me. Now, she is my little sister — in fact her
family is my family in Israel. When my m other was
here for Pesach, we w ent to Ziva’s for the Seder.
Despite the language problem (my m other knows
no Hebrew), I saw that now my family from New
York had becom e a part of my family in
Jerusalem.
Our activities are not particularly interesting in
themselves, but somehow we always end up
laughing. We do a rts-a n d -c ra fts, tiyul around
Jerusalem , go to the Biblical Zoo, etc. But Ziva’s
favorite activity is to go into tow n, wander around
in HaMashbir and then have an ice cream. I d on’t
have the words to express how w onderful the
relationship is, but I guess the best I can do is say
th at my little sister is the best little girl in the
world, and that I intend to pack her in my suitcase
at the end of June.

—th a t’s w hat I’ve felt every week for the past
seven m onths th at I’ve taught an art class at Alyn
Hospital, an orthopedic rehabilitation center for
physically handicapped children.
In O ctober, after I decided th at I w anted to
volunteer, I began m y search. As soon as I saw the
smiling faces of these children in wheelchairs
during a tour of Alyn, my decision was made.
I was asked to teach an arts-and-crafts class
in Hebrew to eleven and twelve year olds.
The thought of working w ith Israeli children really
thrilled me although I recognized the obstacles
ahead of me. I was just another American One
Year Program student who spoke Hebrew w ith a
very American accent.
The first day I was a little uneasy because I was
uncertain how I would react tow ards children who
didn’t have full use of their arms and legs. In
addition, I was uncertain of our ability to com m u­
nicate. My initial suspicions were correct. They
mimicked my accent and made fun of my mistakes.
To my relief, however, my fears were unfounded,
and I was only faced w ith the behavior of typical
twelve year olds.
It was a slow process, but gradually we began
to trust each other, and I —as well as they —began
to look forw ard to our weekly visit. Of course,
there were days, when 13 screaming kids, all
wanting my help at once because, “ I can’t draw
this,” or “That fell on the ground,” really made me
question if it was w orth it. Ultim ately, however, I
always came hom e feeling really good inside. We
began working on our project ideas together, and
they started correcting my Hebrew instead of
criticizing it.
My eyes filled w ith tears th at last day when I
entered the decorated room and saw the pride in
their faces because they had baked the cakes
themselves for my farewell party. I’m going to miss
my family at Alyn.

Well yes, they do look like ordinary buses. That’s really not
what I mean. In fact, if you happen to be in a hurry, or
preoccupied with the latest national news, they even
perform the same function as your average North American
city bus. But to take them just for transportation is to miss
out on one of the most fascinating aspects of Israeli society.
Take the No. 9 bus for example. If you get on at Mount
Scopus, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting a seat; if
possible try to get the ones facing backwards. (Pregnant
women enjoy sitting forwards and you’ll be most likely to
retain your seat throughout the ride.) Oh, if you do decide
to take the No. 9, please sit quickly; the drivers here find it
fascinating to test how quickly the laws of physics allow a
;moving vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 40 kilometers per
hour. And now all you have to do is sit. Oh, you may have
to squish over a little when a fat American “Oleh” deposits
herself snugly in the seat beside you, but that’s about the
only physical discomfort you’ll be faced with.
You may want to catch a little of the conversation of
the six school children in front of you. Don’t worry about
not having mastered their language; they switch freely back
and forth between English and Hebrew. (And besides,
Michael Jackson is the same in every language.) Hang on
tightly, because by this time you’ll be rounding the bend
into Mea Shearim.
Because the bus is full, all you can see making their
way cautiously down the aisle towards you are six black
hats. As they approach, you can see long black coats, curly
side locks and a variety of red, brown and grey beards
emerging from beneath the hats. Now look beyond their
waists to their knees. Clutching at the pant legs of each
solemn Hassid are two little children, probably boys. Their
heads are shaved but for their two curly side locks, which
the little boy, feeling slightly claustrophobic amongst the
legs of the religious, twirls absentmindedly. His small black
hat and coat, miniature replicas of those his father wears,
may remind you of a Purim costume. Suddenly, the entire
row of black hats moves to one side of the bus. Although
the aisles are much too crowded to know for sure, you can
be relatively certain that two, or perhaps three teenaged
girls (jeans adhering firmly to their posterior portions) have
boarded, giggling.
If you look out the window at this point, you will see a
long street lined with round, wide-brimmed hats bobbing to
and fro frenetically, as well as a multitude of women
sporting knee-length dresses, elbow-length sleeves, and neck
high collars — all provocative flesh securely tucked away.
Little children walk slowly down the streets with smaller
children at their sides. And at this point, please be quiet.
The news is being announced over the radio, and adults and
children are intent on consuming every word.
Well, you’re about to turn onto Jaffa Street. You’ll no
doubt be stunned by the abrupt change from the 19thcentury
atmosphere of Mea Shearim to the modem, trafficridden
streets of center city. If you’d like, you can get off
here — but do it quickly or you’ll miss the opportunity.
Just hop over the plump woman you’ve been sharing your
bench with, scowl at the machine gun-toting soldier who
absentmindedly blocks your passage, and squeeze you way
through the aisle. You may have to push your way out the
door with six or seven hurrying Israelis (just part of the
total experience, really) —you can handle it. Whatever you
do, don’t forget your bag on the bus, or it will be regarded
as a suspicious object and provoke a bomb scare.
So, what do you think? Oh, one more thing... You’ll
have to take the No. 9 back from the city, so go sit down
somewhere quiet and have a stiff drink. You deserve it.
Two rides is a lot for a beginner to undertake in one day.

Sand shifting beneath my feet;
I sit on a beached log and watch the waves
Draw designs on the shore, erasing the shapes
As they fall back into the ocean.
White flecks of foam stick to my toes.
A piece of seaweed tangles around my ankle
Until it too is called back to the ocean.
Overhead a seagull flies: a shriek.
It has eaten a fisherman’s hooked bait;
The hook deeply embedded.
The gull flaps overhead trying to free itself.
Each time the gull tries to break loose, he is
Dragged back by the fisherman’s cruel hand.
The fisherman toys with the gull
Leading it around as a child would a balloon
On a string.
The gull’s flapping grows frantic
As it perceives the outcome.
He cries once again and falls
Exhausted to the sand.
The fisherman rips the hook from the gull's beak,
Taking a portion with it: A shriek.
The gull dies, eyes glazing, as it stares blankly
At the fisherman. The wind ruffles its feathers.
The fisherman wipes his nose on his sleeve,
Snorting as he casts his line into the ocean
Again; opening up a fresh sixer of Bud.

Participating in the Arab-Israeli Chug gave me a
new perspective on the State o f Israel in general,
and the situation o f its Arab citizens in particular.
American Jews’ lack o f inform ation on the situation
o f Israel’s Arabs is profound, and the Chug offered
me a glimpse at the knowledge I sorely lacked.
Every Wednesday night the Chug, led by Jeremy
Milgrom, m et to listen to a variety of speakers,
each offering his own viewpoint on the topic. Most
of the speakers were very interesting and provided
inform ation not generally know n by Jews outside
of Israel — the status of Arabs in Israel, their
educational system, etc.
The Chug culm inated in tw o tiyulim , which
incorporated the dry facts we had heard previously
w ith the flesh-and-bones reality of what we were
seeing. The first tiyul was to the Galilee, highlighted
by a visit to the Arab village o f Um-el-Fahm. There
we spent tim e w ith Arab families and acquired
knowledge not transm ittable through a lecturer.
For the first time I saw, smelled, tasted and felt the
world of an Arab in Israel — a truly enlightening
experience.
The second tiyul was more inspiring than
enlightening. It was to a settlem ent outside of
Jerusalem, Neve Shalom, where Arabs and Jews
live together and run an educational program for
Arab and Jewish high school students —a means of
breaking down the barriers between the groups. At
Neve Shalom, the inhabitants work toward integration
and understanding while living it, too.
Thanks to the opportunities offered by the
Arab-Israeli Chug, many of my stereotypes were
broken down. I learned about an im portant problem
in Israeli society - one that I had too often
ignored.

With eyes half open, you grab the
towel, slip on the thongs, and head
outside. It’s a cold walk, but well
worth it. At first you received strange
looks, walking through campus
wrapped in a towel. Then they
started catching on and did the
same. In time, there would be
migrations from upper and even
lower Resnick to Building 2.
The name alone became a status
symbol. After all, who can forget
that feeling of turning on hot water
at 9:30 am and actually having hot
water come out from the overhanging
pipe? The water so hot it was
necessary to use cold water, the
pressure so strong it hurt when
opened full blast. 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, Building 2 worked
hard to please Resnickites.
Suddenly the senior citizens next
door left, and the 24-hour-a-day
hot water with them. Occasionally
Grandma would come back for a
visit, but it wasn’t enough. The
migrations stopped. There was nowhere
to go. Building 2 had nothing
to offer except its_ last ace in the
hole — its people. And here’s to
you from Hotel California.

Picture: A mass of Israeli students wearing plaid slippers,
waiting impatiently while Overseas Students concentrate on
their urgent phone calls.
Phone No. 1 : Student No. 1 has been trying to reach the
Overseas Operator for 15 minutes. She finally gets through.
“Mommy?! ” (The whole room sighs with relief). “Mommy,
it’s Me!! I’m in Jerusalem!” she screams. “I’m fine. You’d
be so proud, I’m learning all these new dishes and how to
cook... what, my favourite dish? ...yogurt and grapefruit
...oh yes, I do all my own shopping ...prices? Everything is
so cheap here!” The Israelis look on. “Do you think you’ll
come, because if you do I need ...M & M’s, peanut butter,
bagels, tuna fish, granola bars, and I’ll call if there is
anything else. I want peanut M & M’s and crunchy peanut
butter. What? I can’t hear you!” (Turns from the phone
and screams “Everyone SHUT UP! I’M TALKING TO MY
PARENTS!”) “Dad, there are seven other people here —all
talking at the same time ...what-at!!?”
Phone No. 3: “ ...Baruch Ha-Shem, everything is going very
well. Listen, I’ve dropped one of my University classes so
I’ll have more time to spend at the Yeshiva. No, I’m not
becoming a fanatic, Yes, of course I’ll still respect you —I
just want to bring my children up with morals... Yes I know
I don’t have any children yet ...What? NO — DON’T PAY
THE TUITION YET! ... Nuclear fusion just doesn’t seem as
important as it used to...”
Phone No. 5: “...No Operator, this is a collect call to
Canada... not Kenya —C.A.N.A.D.A. No! it’s not a city in
the United States. We are a country. We have our own
government. Our own language, eh? We have our own

6 Protectionism
What is Socialism? Hanan works hard in the field all day.
Yossi stands on the street comer and smokes Time
cigarettes all day. David came here from Canada 15 years
ago and set up the only profitable business in Israel, and
gave jobs to 500 Israelis. How are these men different?
Hanan earns $300 a week for his kibbutz. Yossi gets $75 a
week from the government. David makes $3000 a week for
his business. How are these men alike? After taxes all of
them earn $75 a week. This system is called Socialism.
Socialists believe that this system makes everyone want to
do something useful for the community. See how many
people are with Hanan in the field? See how many people
run good businesses like David? Isn’t it wonderful? Now
look at how many of Yossi’s friends are with him on the
street corner.
See the Israel foreign debt: Every year it grows, just
like you. See Shimon Pires borrow money from Uncle
Sam? He’s borrowing a dollar; that will coast him 1,000
shekels But Shimon fsn’t worried, Uncle Sam will never ask
Shimon to pay him back, and even if he did, those 1,000
shekels wouldn’t be enough to buy a gumball.
Wait! Shimon is borrowing money from Uncle Sam
again; he’s already spent the dollar he just borrowed. If
Shimon keeps borrowing money from Uncle Sam, he’ll owe
him money forever. But Shimon isn’t worried. Mashiach
will come.
Self-employment: This is an Israeli taxi. The man
driving it is an Israeli taxi driver. Inside the taxi is a meter.
This meter tells the passenger how much he has to pay the
driver. See the man coming out of the hotel? He is a tourist.
He wants to go to the Old City. The ride to the Old City
costs 2,000 shekels on the meter. The taxi driver will offer
to turn the meter off and take the man ot the Old City for
only 2,500 shekels. What a bargain! One second. 2,500
shekels is more than 2,000 shekels. The taxi driver is
stealing from this man. Why isn’t the man upset? Why
should he be? He just got a bargain.
This is the shuk. This is where all the tourists find
bargains, just like the man who rode in the taxi. This man is
Ahmed. He is a cousin of P.T. Barnum. He sells rare
religious objects. Right now Ahmed is selling the Shroud of
Turin to a couple from Oklahoma. The Shroud of Turin is the
only piece of clothing that Jesus was wearing when he died.
It is worth millions of dollars. Today Ahmed is selling it for
$100. Ahmed is doing this because he likes to be friendly.
Ahmed is so friendly that he already sold the Shroud of
Turin 100 times today. Wait! There is only one Shroud of
Turin! Ahmed is selling fakes! Won’t people send the police
after him? They might, but it is very easy to get lost in the
shuk, and besides, if he was ever caught he can tell the
police he didn’t know. After all, Ahmed is a Muslim and
Jesus was a Christian.

IN ISRAEL
In Israel, when you get your receipt at the grocery
store, on the bottom is w ritten, “ nu/n Yon1?zftG'iu” —
and i t ’s even on the bathroom walls.
In Israel, when 12 soldiers die in an ambush
suicide attack, you hear the name, age, hometown,
time and place o f the funeral fo r each soldier;
during each news broadcast, a Shlomo A rtzi song
is played on the radio. The bus I was in at
the time was silent, almost peaceful.
In Israel, a 5-year-old boy makes jokes about
Arabs; an 8-year-old asks if you have served in the
army yet.
In Israel, one gets a full,in-depth education on
the concept and term “ Catch-22” — it is the rule in
political, social and economic life.
And only Israel has the privilege to have two
volumes exclusively on Israel, in the field of
psychology: on anxiety and pressure, and their
influence on the individual and society.
For in Israel, we are the chosen peoplç.

Israel: the land, the country, the people, and the
spirit. In all these definitions, Israel is the dream
and the reality which is cherished by people of
every faith, nationality and race. Israel, a microscopic
piece o f land in comparison with her
neighbors, is a country exceedingly im portant to so
many, yet fought fo r by so few. Although Israel is
small in number, it is full o f “ ruach” and devotion.
O ut o f hard work, compassion and the spirit o f
Zionism, the State o f Israel was formed from the
ancient land of the Jewish people
I want to express my feelings about Israel, and
why I feel such a strong “ kesher” with this
country. In my lifetim e, the existence o f the State
o f Israel has always been a fact. It is d iffic u lt for
me to imagine the Jewish people and the world
w ithout Israel’s presence. Since her creation in
1948, Israel has played an integral part in world
affairs and has been the bond between Jews in the
Diaspora. Israel is special fo r Jews everywhere in
many different ways. For some Jews, Israel means
safety fo r them and their children. For other Jews,
such as the Russians and Ethiopians, it is a chance
to live a free Jewish life. For others, Israel is that
opportunity to be a part of Jewish history, to be
involved in our own destiny, and to be living where
we can really feel that there is something im portant
enough to live for, and even die for. To me Israel is
all this and more. To pray at the Kotel, walk the
streets o f Jerusalem, speak the language o f the
Tanach, and feel the pride o f our beautiful country^
gives me a special feeling.
I find it impossible to express this true essence
o f Israel. It is a feeling which one must experience
himself. To be part o f such a beautiful country, to
work to make this country better, and to feel the
sense of unity and devotion that keeps Israel strong
is tru ly fulfilling. As Jews with our own land,
army, government, language, culture, and history,
we have obtained a sense o f pride and a realization
that we indeed are one.
I hope in all these words I have succeeded in
conveying my thoughts to you about Israel and its
value to the Jewish people and to the world. Israel
is an example o f a beautiful dream, which after
much work, struggle and destruction has become a
definite reality. In the words ofHerzl, “ If you will
it, it is no dream.”

On A s k in g Q u e s t io n s
In thinking of a subject to write about for this yearbook, one in particular seemed to capture the
essence o f the One Year Program. That subject is the art of asking questions. Specifically speaking, the
art of asking questions is simply the act of doing so. For m ost o f us the general question is, and has
been, “What is Israel really about, and what does it mean to m e?” Certainly, no one person has or
knows the answer to this general question, for each o f us has our own idea(s). The beautiful and
exciting aspect of Israel is the way it inspires all of us to ask this question and many others about
Israel, Judaism, relationships, and simply about you and me.
Prior to our arrival in Israel many of us had answers to the many questions. Y et many questions
were unanswerable at home, and coming to Israel was viewed with the hope that the answers would be
found here. Ironically, now that we are here, there seem to be fewer answers and a greater abundance
o f questions. So, while we came to Israel in search o f answers, what we essentially found were only
new questions, still to be answered.
What time does the 4n stop running? When is the superm arket really open? Why is it that we
never have hot water? These are all relatively no questions for all o f us. But, of course, these
questions have answers: (heb.)!
Actually, I’m referring to questions involving our futures — as Jews at hom e and/or in Israel.
Aliyah has been a specific subject that has raised many questions for a majority of us at one point or
another. Why should I move to Israel, along with where, when, and how ^ more questions with fewer
answers.
So, as people began the program asking one another if they would makeAliyah to Israel, we leave,
perhaps for the m om ent, asking the same question. W hether or not we will find the answer to this
question and to all the others remains to be seen. But having been able to ask, ask, and ask has, I
believe, been a special opportunity, perhaps the opportunity of a lifetime. Finally, the best part
about being able to ask so many questions is that we don’t really need to know all the answers, at least
not right away.

The sign-up sheet was just hanging there, pinned to
the wall, like all the other annoncements in OSA.
A t the top o f the page, in bold black letters, a few
vague words about some sort o f trial o f a Nazi war
crim inal were w ritten w ith a request fo r student
volunteers. Those interested were to sign up w ith
Jonathan, who would later contact them.
The procedure was standard. Students came,
signed up, stated practical experience they had
working w ith journalism, television, or publicity,
and were told that in a few weeks they would
receive a letter telling them when the first inform a­
tional meeting would be held. It seemed like
something w orthw hile to do, and, according to
Jonathan, about 60 students had already expressed
their interest. But this certainly was not
the usual volunteer project, even in Israel; the word
"N azi” spelled that out, loud and clear. This
obviously was something very unique, and yet the
thought o f participating in it had my heart beating
so fast and so strong I was afraid Jonathan would
hear it. As I signed up, thoughts quickly began
running through my mind: I had been studying the
Holocaust all year in Mr. Mankowitz's class, and
the thought o f confronting in person what I had
been reading about in books was exciting and
motivating. Coming from a small home town w ith
a few hundred Jews and an apathetic congregation,
I saw this as a "once in a lifetim e o p p o rtu n ity."
Still, my heart kept racing, and by this point I was
sure that Jonathan thought I was ready to go into
convulsions.
A bout six weeks later, I found myself clad in
the black and white dress o f a volunteer, positioned
by the doors of Yad Vashem, greeting guests and
other arrivals. For that day, and the three to
follow , I was to serve as the "dayelet" (hostess) for
the panel and the witnesses as they gave testimony
in "J'Accuse," "A n i Maashim,"or what was better
known among the students as "The Mengele T ria l."
J'Accuse (I accuse in French),an international
convention held in Jerusalem from February 3-6,
was the product of the efforts o f C.A.N.D.L.E.S.
and Netzach, the respective American and Israeli
organization of twins who had survived the deadly
lab experiments of the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele,
in the death camp o f Auschwitz during World War
II. The highlights o f J'Accuse was the public,
revealing testimonies before an international panel
given by these twins and others of the crimes
com mitted by Dr. Mengele.
J'Accuse marked an im portant tim e in the lives
o f these twins and other survivors. For many, it
gave them their first opportunity to give formal
public witness to the horrifying conditions o f the
camps, and specifically the experiments o f Dr.
Mengele, and at the same tim e share their experiences
w ith fellow survivors.
I found the testimonies very powerful. Even as
I w rite this today, almost three months later, I can
vividly recall many of the testimonies of the twins
and others, and the fascination of the audience,
entranced w ith the words of the survivors as they
poured out their darkest and most intimate secrets
on the witness stand. I remember, fo r example, the
inspiring story o f Yona Lux, born in Poland,
developed gangrene in her legs during the nightmarish
death marches from Auschwitz in January,
1945. A t one point, the Nazis threw her into a pile
of dead bodies. Before Lux was finally liberated,
she had survived four different concentration
camps.
The testimonies continued day after day. I
remained positioned at the fo o t of the witness
stand, ready to relay messages to the panel and
staff, or tend to the witnesses at emotional
moments, and when they finished their testimonies.
For three days I listened attentively, but I was
getting tired and moreover, my emotions were so
frayed that I just could not restrain myself any
longer; the tears began to well up in my eyes.
62

Ruth Elias, born in Czechoslovakia was the last
witness. Shortly after she arrived in Auschwitz,
Elias realized she was pregnant. Throughout endless
selections, Elias managed to hide her developing
pregnancy and once was even transported out of
Auschwitz disguising herself as a Czech national.
As she continued her story, the entire auditorium
was silent; Elias spoke w ith great eloquence and
command of her words. I was certainly not the
only one present moved by her testimony. Elias
continued, telling o f her eventual forced return to
Auschwitz, the progression o f her pregnancy, and
the increasing d iffic u lty in masking her swollen
belly. Nearing labor, she was struck w ith the intense
fear of what would become of her and her baby, as
most pregnant women in Auschwitz were sent to
the gas chambers. Ultim ately, Elias gave birth to a
baby girl. During the first evening after the birth of
her daughter a Jewish doctor approached her,
knowing o f the baby's birth. This doctor gave Elias
a syringe, and suggested that she inject her
daughter w ith the lethal drug it contained. This
way, at least Elias herself might be spared from
Mengele's experiments and the threat of death.
Deciding it was best to keep the Nazis from killing
her baby, Elias recalled through a choking voice
how she took her daughter's life and then hid her
body in a nearby pile of dead bodies. She then told
how Mengele had come fo r the baby the very next
morning and was angered by her disappearance.
Elias stepped down from the witness stand maintaining
her composure until she was in the compassionate
arms of her fellow survivors. Interrogator Fri
Terlo broke the silence by thanking Elias for her
testimony. One could see the tears in the eyes of
most of the people in the audience, including panel
member Simon Wiesenthal, a camp survivor
himself.
A t the closing of the testimonies interrogator
Terlo, panel chairman Gideon Hausner, who had
served as prosecutor of the Eichmann Trial, and
other members of the panel, all made appealing
statements demanding Mengele's apprehension. But
the most powerful statements in support of the
need to apprehend Mengele had already been made
by the witnesses themselves.
Yona Lux and Ruth Elias, along w ith tens of
others of Mengele's victims, had already graphically
expressed their need. Although the term "Mengele
T ria l" was largely inaccurate and unencompassing
for the total scope of the many activities of
"J'accuse," it was indeed very appropriate in the
sense of exemplifying Mengele's role in Auschwitz.
Josef Mengele had clearly committed numerous
crimes against the Jewish people and humanity.
And while Mengele remains free, supposedly in
Paraguay, these survivors and their loved ones still
suffer as victims of his experiments and from the
terror of the Third Reich. The terrifying, disturbing
testimonies of survivors had already exhibited this
quite blatantly.
As the child of a survivor, I had already seen
this tragedy in my own experiences, long before I
had ever stepped into the auditorium at Yad
Vashem, and even before I had signed up in the
OSA to volunteer. For these days of personal
contact w ith numbers of survivors and their
children as well, seemed years away from those
two minutes in OSA when I thought my heart
would fail me. By the tim e the festive dinners
marking the close of the convention came to an
end, my heart beats were back to normal.

Sitting on the airplace clutching Let’s Go, feelings of curiosity and anxiety
overwhelmed us, while wondering what new experiences awaited us. Right from
the start we realized that pantomime and smiles would have to be our means of
communication. No wonder we never knew what we were eating.
The excitement began. Museums, alcazars, cathedrals, mezquites. El Greco,
Picasso, Goya all became common names surrounding us everywhere. Whitewashed
homes, cobblestone streets, gardens, and Spanish song and dance filled
each city with beauty. We easily adopted the Spanish lifestyle. Fiesta, sangria
time, bloody bullfights, Flamenco shows, seafood and late intoxicated evenings.
Each city — Madrid, Toledo, Seville, Cordoba, Marbella, Granada, Valencia,
Barcelona — revealed Spain in a unique way through its sites, people and
particular beauty.
Upon reflection, Spain has become one o f the many experiences
contributing to a year filled with unforgettable experiences, boundless opportunities
and constant growth and learning. A year of opportunities in which one
gains by taking advantage of all that s/he desires.

I don’t want the friendship
that you and I have come to share
to stand the test of distance.
But our time together will soon be over
and I guess life must go on...
1 just want you to know that
in spite of the miles that threaten
to come between us
I will continue to think of you,
to need you...
longing to see your smile,
hear your laugh,
touch your face,
hold your hand.
How very much I will miss
sharing with you,
and your presence
in my life.

TheKahane rally and counter-demonstration presented
the overseas students with yet another picture of the
Arab-Jew conflict we learned so much about this
year. This picture appeared to me, and most students
I spoke with, as ugly, distorted and rather intangible.
I use this strong language because I felt a hatred
which surfaced from participants on both sides of the
demonstration. I felt the fear of some friends who
were forcibly moved by the police. I also felt
disillusioned and confused at not being able to get an
intellectual grasp on the situation, something that
always seemed so important in my liberally educated
background. All of these feelings left me and my
friends with an impression which will undoubtedly
last our lifetimes.
Knesset member Rabbi Meir Kahane of the Kach
party had originally planned to speak on February
26th across from the Resnick Dormitories in response
to a protest the previous week. The first protest was
on behalf of those attempting to prevent Pierre
Yazbak, a Christian Phalangist representative, from
speaking on campus. The students demonstrating,
most of them Arab, felt offended because someone
connected with the Phalangists (responsible for the
killings at the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and
Shatilla) was allowed to speak on campus. For about
three hours, they protested by singing Palestinian
national songs and chanting anti-Lebanese Christian
slogans. They offended the Jews present not only by
their choice of songs but by their abuse of the
freedom of speech. A polarization between the two
groups surfaced. Small outbreaks of violence occurred
and several students were arrested.
In response to that incident, Kahane planned the
February 26 demonstration. Because of rain, however,
the demonstration was cancelled and rescheduled for
Thursday, February 28. At about 12:45 that day,
Kahane stood on the northeast corner of Churchill
Street across from the entrance to the University. (He
is forbidden to speak on University grounds . He
began his address to the large, mostly anti-Kahane
crowd by saying, “Shalom, Jews and dogs.” The gist
of his speech was that Arab students who are
affdiated with the PLO should not be at Hebrew
University or in Israel at all, for that matter. Now,
although I have no affinity for the PLO or its
activities, Kahane’s approach to the Arab-Jewish
conflict has always disgusted me, and evokes feelings
of hatred generally foreign to my nature. His presence
that day brought out these feelings, and no matter
how many friends I spoke with afterwards, I could
not explain them away.
The other problematic issue for me was the police
response. Before Kahane was far into his speech, a
few people began throwing rocks. However, it was

not clear who in the crowd initiated the rock-throwing.
The police quickly put a halt to this action by
dispersing the crowd. A few minutes later, for no
apparent reason, both the mounted police and border
police (riot dispersal unit) drove many overseas
students observing the demonstration into bushes and
down a hill, hitting some with billy clubs. I was
almost hit with a club, while some of my friends were
bruised on their head and back. To this day, I do not
understand why the police responded in this way.
In conclusion, Kahane’s anti-Arab rhetoric and our
hatred surfacing in response, as well as the questions
the situation raised as to the nature and limitations of
democracy and the reaction of the “riot control”
police, made the event extremely powerful for those
overseas students present that day. The Arab-Jewish
picture has been drawn with many colors and shapes
over the past year. I have seen some bright colors and
pretty shapes. I felt, unfortunately, that this picture
has been painted with dark colors and distorted
figures.

On March fourth, 1985, m yself and 17 other foreign students
studying in Israel were given the opportunity to m eet President
Chaim Herzog. We represented a cross-section of foreign students
studying at various universities in Israel — One Year Program
students, Mechina (preparatory) students, and students already in
their second or third year of studies. The m ajority of students were
new immigrants or people on the verge of making aliyah (Tem porary
Residents).
First, we were given a tour o f the President’s house and then we
were led to a meeting room in which President Herzog was to m eet
and speak with us. A fter his entrance and introduction, we each
stood and briefly addressed him, in Hebrew, about our personal
background, place and program of study and our future plans.
Having been a young immigrant to Israel himself, Herzog was
faced with the difficulties of absorption into a new society. Thus, the
President was interested in hearing about some of the problem s we
are now facing and discussing those problems. To be sure, the new
immigrant is confronted w ith the difficulties o f learning a new
language, as well as culture shock and acclim ation to a new and
different society.
The President wanted to assure us that carving out a new life in
Israel is, at times, an extrem ely difficult and frustrating process —
however, with hard work and patience it can be a very rewarding
experience. A fter all, look at him!
LAWRENCE LOKMAN
4 Year Program Student

The bedroom door creaks open, light switch flicked on, and
“Let’s go boys! Up!” — or so it sounds —hoarsely called
out. A peep through the window shutters reveals darkness
vainly resisting light’s advance, that time of dawn when
Hebrew University students know better than to be
anywhere but between the sheets.
For one first-year chemistry student, however, this is
not one in a long Une of ordinary study days. Today is
Wednesday, March 6th, and David Bloom is going into the
army.
To be precise, the student/soldier, age 22, is heading
for the first tour of reserve duty, or what is left of it. He
had already served five days the previous week when he was
unexpectedly granted a five-day leave, which he spent with
his parents at their Jerusalem apartment. Now it is time to
rejoin his outfit for the remaining 22 days of his miluim
(reserve duty).
David’s home for the next three weeks will be at an
army base somewhat north of Kiryat Shemona. The Egged
bus bound for Kiryat Shemona departs Jerusalem’s Central
Bus station at 7:00 a.m. today for the 3-1/2 hour trip. The
soldier is expected to meet his comrades no later than
11:00 at a place called Gib or (translation: hero) for transfer
to their army base.
As the Egged makes its way through the Jordan Rift
Valley, many passengers reclaim the slumber lost by the
early morning journey. David, in contrast, is very much
awake. He reflects back on the previous week, his first taste
of reserves. One day was to have been spent jumping out of
airplanes, as David is in the southern Paratrooper Brigade;
although paratrooping under battle conditions is becoming
obsolete, tzanhanim (paratroopers) are periodically drilled
so as not to forget what a cloud looks like from above. “We
get on the bus and go to the airstrip,” he explains in his
broken British, putting down a paperback copy of The
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. “It’s really early in the
morning, about 6:00, and all of a sudden CRACK!
CRASH! Lightning, thunder, rain, the whole works. We
went, ‘Yeah, awright!’ and it went on like that for half an
hour, and the M ’faked (commander) said, ‘Ha’tzniha
hitbatlah’ (Jumping is cancelled). We weren’t exactly sorry
to hear it, I tell you.”
For the duration of that week, David’s task was to lug
on his back a 50-pound communications system while on
patrol with his unit. “I was so out of shape, I’d be gasping
for breath every five steps,” he says. Deep snowfall in the
area only made the patrol more difficult. David wraps both
hands around his right thigh and yanks upward so that his
foot is off the floor, demonstrating how walking in the
snow was best accomplished. To ease the effort, he got into
the habit of stepping only in footprint depressions made by
those walking before him.
The bus has now arrived in Kiryat Shemona, and a
short taxi ride later David reaches a huge dirt field in Gibor.
Several hundred soldiers are gathered. Some sit at tables
outside small fast food shacks, munching hot dogs or
smoking cigarettes. Across the way, many more soldiers
recline on their tote bags, the green of their uniforms
blending together with the color of their bags. While some
faces are characterized by eyeglasses pulled up over the
head while the eyes are closed, others’ eyes intently pore
over the day’s newspaper or a good novel. The expected
time of transfer, 11:00, is now a four-hour-old memory.
Joe, a husky, bearded American who could double as a
lumberjack, had left his Kibbutz near Beersheva at 5:30 a.m.
but is unperturbed by the delay, knowing that the clock
is set on “Israel Time.”
“Safaris” — open-ended trucks with two benches
running lengthwise down the middle —pull into the lot and
Plugah Bet (B Company) soldiers are ordered to board. Bags
are thrown into the truck, and David and the others ascend.
No sooner have the 20 soldiers been seated than the truck
rumbles to a start and begins the final leg of the soldiers’
day long journey. As the safari climbs an incline, David
points to the left to TelHai, where Josef Trumpeldor and
seven others were killed in 1920 defending the Jewish
setlement.
Another kilometer or so northward and the truck halts
for a security check. It is quickly waved on, and soon David
Bloom and company must look back to see Israel, for
through the front windshield can be seen only the green
hills of Southern Lebanon.

The Goldsmith Building fo r Overseas Students is
often nicknamed "The Goldsmith High School." In
many respects, this is hardly surprising. As a
mechina student, I found the constant reminder
that you cannot be adm itted into Hebrew class
unless you come exactly on tim e, or that if you
miss three classes you are throw n out of that
particular course, to be rather hard fo r one who
thinks that her high school days are now well
behind her.
A fter the initial few weeks, however, those
petty rules are reduced, to insignificance. They are
revealed to be mere trivialities (and perhaps necessary
ones, too). What is far more im portant is the
growing awareness that every single student w ith
whom you m ix has chosen to come to the Hebrew
University. They have left their families and friends
to be w ith other Jews from all over the Diaspora,
take Jewish Studies courses, and experience life in
the Jewish homeland.
Coming from Britain, this is indeed a wonderful
opportunity fo r me. For there, the situation is
most depressing: one is "advised" to remain on the
periphery at school because o f being Jewish, is
surrounded by twice-a-year Jews (i.e., those who
go to shul the first day of Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur), who try desperately to be like "the
others " and is expected to be ashamed of Israel
fo r her crimes, which journalists "expose" daily.
On a different note, the British student at
Goldsmith, unlike most others who get credits for
their endeavours, receives no material rewards.
Nevertheless, the British student is prepared to
work just as hard and to take exams, even if they
seem worthless. And speaking from personal experience,
I know that I have enjoyed studying here,
more than fo r my " A " levels, because I have been
studying fo r the sake of studying and not fo r some
desirable grade, and it is only now that I can
understand why some people look back at their
school days and refer to them as "th e best days" of
their lives.

All the dreams are written there

echoing through centuries,

a people’s dreams o f peace, all fears

for that wall has ears, listens

SHARI COOPER

O.JERUSALEM
Jerusalem seems to come with a single promise - that it has a secret. And so they come - the curious, the earnest, the partisan, the
proud —to find it, to learn the span of their own souls by unlocking the secret of Jerusalem. They search beneath the dusty carpet
o f its antiquity, view it from the hills, walk its streets brimming with the clang and grind of a modern city, and they wonder: Can it
be here, between the old and the new, hidden beneath the folds of a caftan or a long black cloak, or perhaps even in the green
fatigues of the young soldiers?
After a time the seeker tires. For all the various marvels, no single sight seems to hold the key, as if the secret were too diffuse
to grab in an instant, as if the years had spread and mixed the wonder to confound those who search for it. But given enough time,
enough frustration and even disillusionment, the truth begins to emerge.
For Jerusalem will not tell its secret; that is its secret. It will not offer up the answer that would end its fascination, but rather
draws out the secrets of those who approach it. Jerusalem does not speak; she listens. History has granted her this sad but special
expertise. She listened to the children of slaves as they stepped from the desert to find her. She listened to the songs of David, to
the laws of the Sages, to the rantings of Herod and the final gasps of Yehuda Halevi. The hills of Tsefat will tell magical tales, the
sands of Sinai majestic ones, but the stones of Jerusalem will not speak. They will keep your yearnings, in crumpled notes or
muttered prayer, as they have kept so many for so long, in sympathetic silence. From all over the world for all the ages of history
people have come to Jerusalem to do no more than speak to stones. The world is not lacking in places which offer remarkable
stories or inspiring adventures, but only here will the homliest, most pedestrian cry be heard with the same respect as the decrees of
Kings and the supplications of the holy. ThJs does Jerusalem shine back your soul, and force you to see its true nature. “There are
sermons in stones,” wrote the poet, but not here; the stones of Jerusalem do not sermonize or moralize —they listen. The stones
remain, addressed by each conquering army, each ardent pilgrim, by youth’s aspirations and old age’s regrets. They hear without
speaking; sometimes, they stand on earth to represent one of the faces of God.

How does one eat a popsicle? Why does white skin get red
and peel when exposed to the sun? How come Jews in
Israel don’t smash all their dishes before Passover? These
are a few of the questions OYP student Rachel Friedberg
and OY'P graduate Daniel Gordon dealt with over
Passover. Rachel and Daniel are two of the 13 students
whom the Office of Student Activities and the Youth Aliya
Department chose to help Ethiopian youth,aged 11-18,for
eleven days in special villages around Israel.
Rachel and Daniel were sent to Hofim, which they feel
is “the best and biggest youth village.” They spent most of
their time taking the 200 Ethiopian children, who usually
traveled with a canteen in one hand and a school book in
thè other, to their Passover tiyulim in the Galil. “The kids
were amazing!” recalls Rachel. “Most of them would be
completely justified if they spent all their time weeping and
moaning, but I never heard them complain. Although a few
have parents living in absorption centers, most of the
children will never see their mothers or fathers again, either
because they are stranded in Ethiopia or are dead. Some of
the children have physical scars from their 300-kilometer
desert treks from Ethiopia to Sudanese refugee camps.
Other children have mental scars from watching their
parents and siblings die from starvation and illness. But
they all manage to stay cheerful.
Arriving at Hofim on April 4, the 5 OYP volunteers
came just in time to help celebrate the young Ethiopians
first Passover in Israel. Although the staff was anxious to
teach the kids new customs, they were careful. They did
not want to repeat the policy of 30 years ago that many
sociologists believe was a deliberate attempt by the Israeli
government to eliminate the language and culture of the
Oriental Jewish immigrants. The night before and during
the Seder, father figure and village coordinator Rabbi
Nachum Cohen explained to the children the reasons
behind the Israeli rituals and prayers. When possible,
traditions of both cultures were honored. For example, a
half-Hebrew, half-Amharic Hagaddah was used. Both Israeli
and Ethiopian songs were sung. And, after the traditional
reading of the Hagaddah, an 11-year-old boy stood up and
chanted from memory in the holy language of Baez for over
20 minutes. His father was a kohen (priest) in his village.
Although the service was stretched out to over four hours,
“.The children stood completely still,” recalls Darnel.
The only thing the staff might have done wrong, say
Daniel and Rachel, was that in teaching the children they
implied that all Israeli Jews keep these customs. The youth
are sheltered from the fact that most Israelis do not observe
Jewish law. “They might get a big shock when they see
Israeli society,” states Daniel. Adds Rachel, "The girls
wouldn’t understand that I usually don’t wear a skirt.”
Most of the kids will learn Hebrew and basic Judaism
at the village for another six months. After that, they will
be sent to special boarding schools. Most hope to go on to
University one day, except for a few who, Daniel points
out, “would prefer to become soccer stars.”

Of the thousands of Ethiopians who have been
flow n to Israel over the last tw o years under
"Operation Moses," 21 have made their way to
Goldsmith. Although the students are not studying
the One Year Program (since they don't have the
option or desire to return to their homeland after a
year), many strong friendships have formed between
the OYP students and the four-year Ethiopian
students.
One of the students, Ron Alkalie, who arrived
in January 1984, cried when he first saw the Wall.
" I had read the Second Temple was destroyed by
the Romans. If the rest hadn't been destroyed, we
(the Ethiopian Jews) would not be struggling
outside our country."
Back in Ethiopia, Ron had to hide his religion
from his Christian schoolmates. Although Ron is
sure life is a lo t freer for Jews in Israel, he's not
sure that's always such a good thing. "In Ethiopia
everybody follows what the Priest of the village
says. Here nobody follows the opinion of the
Rabbinate. Everybody goes w ith their feelings and
not w ith the Torah."
Before Ron made it to Israel, he expected all
Israeli Jews to be priests. Even though he had read
as many books as he could about modern Israel, he
never dreamed Jews here would drive on Shabbat
and eat m ilk and meat from the same plates. Ron
feels that Jews in Israel have the right to do what
they want, but if they don't improve or don't
teach their children to keep the Torah, it could be
very dangerous fo r Judaism and Israel. "W hat
happened to the Temple might happen again," he
says.
Ron is waiting fo r his parents, three brothers
and a sister to join him in Israel. If not for the
Israeli government reporting the Ethiopian a irlift,
his nine-member fam ily might be together. "N o
one pushed the government to say anything about
it, and now many people can't come," he states.
Luckily, tw o of his brothers slipped in before
January. "A n d ," Ron adds w ith a smile, "m any of
my friends at the University are like fam ily to me."
The Jewish Agency gives Ron just enough
money each month to pay fo r books, clothes, food
and tuition. When asked if it's d iffic u lt to study in
Goldsmith w ith foreign students, many of whom
have large budgets, he replies; w ith a very diplomatic
grin. "We live as we live and the Americans live as
they live. Everybody cannot live like their
neighbors."
A fter Ron finishes studying economics at the
University, he plans to join the army. Then, if all
goes well, he'll find a good job and settle down.
Even if his wife is not Ethiopian, he plans to teach
his children Amharic, torso dancing, and as many
other Ethiopian traditions as possible. Also, he
would like to publish an Amharic-Hebrew- English
book he is writing about his absorption into Israeli
society.

Did you do anything exciting over your semester break?
Egypt? Italy? Sinai? How about sunny California or Cold
snowy Minnesota? Those places were blessed with our
presence for 2-1/2 weeks during our self-extended semester
break.
Jon left first, on the morning of January 31st, on that
“Bargain Airline* —“TOWER-AIR” (Boy are they ever keen
with luggage)-and Joel left that night as a courier for that
marvelous company in Tel-Aviv, AIRAID (03-295655 —
oops, shhh —that’s a secret).
It sure was good to be back in that non-kosher melting
pot.No more of that high-tech, multi-dimensional, out-ofyaihite
Castle/
control broadcasting system we had enjoyed for so long.
This time it was 21 pop stations, 15 punk, 8 rock, 5
classical, 4 heavy metal, 3 turtle doves, 2 reggae, & one
station that broadcasts only on clear nights when it is
possible to see Uranus.
After being in exile for so long, prices really hit us
hard. 8 dollars for the subway(that’s 10,000 Shekels to

most amazing lox omelettes.
—Person 1 : Is that kosher?
— Person 2: Just ask the Halachic Police at
Aish HaTorah.
— Person 1: Aish HaTorah? Is that indoctrination or
education?
— Person 2: Well, according to Aish’s Rosh Yeshiva’s
brother...
Anyhow, the next stop was stereo and camera row. Of
course it is almost completely dominated by American Jews
and Yordim. “A BROKEN WALKMAN? GOOD, WE’LL
TAKE THREE!!”
Ten hours later we were home ih Minneapolis and L.A.
Parents, friends, food, eye-doctor, more food, dentist, the
snow. Have you driven lately? —“IF YOU’RE NOT HOME
BY 11:30, CALL SO I DON’T WORRY.”
The pleasures were majorly phenomenal. M.T.V., a
pulsating hot shower in the morning, CORNED BEEF, a
TELEPHONE, FREE FOOD, and a real newspaper for half
the price of the Jerusalem brand. A ‘slicha’ here, a ‘y°fie’
there and sooner than we knew, our vacation was over.
All in all, our adventure was exciting and fun. But it
was frightening to see how quickly we fit right back into
the ‘American Way’ and Israel became another distant
memory. Let’s all remember our incredibly special year in
Israel. It’s meant a lot to us.

As many o f our fellow OYP.ers took off during the vacations
to the far corners o f Europe, or to see the ancient civilization of
the Nile, some OYP.ers choose to experience a new culture.
Here in Israel they worked on Kibbutzim, thriving com m unities
that have become an im portant part o f the m odern Israeli
society.
Many of us, for many different reasons, decided to
volunteer on Kibbutzim throughout Israel. First, it provided
those of us w ithout families in Israel an opportunity to have an
adopted family in Israel and a place for retreat throughout the
year. It also gave students a “ kesher” (connection) w ith a
family and an institution in Israel for years to come. Second, it
gave us an opportunity to work in Israel, be it in the fields or in
the “ heder ochel” (dining room). Thus we added another
dimension to our experiences in Israel, one different than
touring and studying. Lastly we experienced life on a Kibbutz,
an opportunity to feel part of the collective.
In fact, experiencing a Kibbutz is like experiencing in depth
one part o f the multi-faceted Israeli society. This is due to
different ideological make ups of the Kibbutzim. We were able
to choose from all of the diverse movements. Some students
volunteered on HaShomer HaTsa’ir (secular) Kibbutzim, while
others volunteered on some of the 17 religious Kibbutzim
throughout Israel. Still others volunteered on new Mesorati
(traditional) Kibbutzim in the lower Galilee.
Regardless o f the ideological make-up of the Kibbutzim,
m ost of us came away with positive and rewarding experiences.
We established im portant connections with our Kibbutzim and
w ith the other volunteers as well. We hope that in the future
every student will have the opportunity to experience the
Kibbutz way of life.

THE P-C AFFAIR
Pita and Cheese (P-C) - that’s what Israel means to me.
Sounds strange? Not to any student who has lived in Israel
for more than a week. The first shopping trip is the
beginning of this pita and cheese indoctrination. At the
sight of eight long rows of unfamiliar food, written up in
somewhat foreign Hebrew script, the OYP student balks
and runs for familiar territory. The pita bag is clear with no
writing and the cheese is easily recognizable as well. True,
things other than cheese could be stuffed in the pita, but
the OYPer wanders through the rows of brightly packaged
items with pictures of beaming kibbutznikim and rejects
them all on the basis of fear. However, as he passes through
the dairy section, he sees a flash of yellow through the clear
plastic. Yes, it’s the yellow hard cheese. Why does he
choose that particular cheese? Not because it has the
perfect consistency to melt right into pita, but because it is
the only one that doesn’t have an opaque wrapping.
After this first experiment, the student proudly carries
back his conquest and views himself as the first real pioneer
to make an “almost” grilled cheese sandwich. However,
after the initial exhili,ration of cooking a hot meal (instead
of cold humus or fruit) wears off, disappointment at the
limitations of the cheese filling sets in. He tries to be
imaginative. He tries different aesthetic options: pita'with
cheese on top, pita with cheese on bottom, cheese
surrounding pita, and, if he’s very adventurous, pita with
cheese and some tomatoes and cucumbers (other basic
Israeli staples which need a tribute of their own). But
nothing works, the pita is still pita, the cheese is still cheese
and the taste is still the same.
Yes, he starts to loathe pita and cheese. The very sight
of it causes him to tremble with frustration and longing for
a thick steak dinner (Charthouse perhaps?). So why doesn’t
he eat something else? It is an inexpicable cultural
phenomenon that drives him back to the bread and dairy
section again and again, even after he understands the
previously indecipherable package labeling. The force beckons
him, till he can fight it no longer. He finds himself
leaving the Supersol, every time, with pita and cheese
quivering in his Eagle Sam Olympic grocery satchel!
And as the months go by, the seasoned OYPer accepts
P-C as part of his life. He stops fighting the urge and lets
instinct take over completely. He eats P-C all the time. He
eats it for breakfast, lunch, din - oh, excuse me, gotta go,
my pita and cheese is burning!

It was incredible! So many people, all hurrying in the same direction. By car, on foot, by bus, all with the same
purpose: to reach Har Herzl. The bus we were on was stuck in a giant traffic jam, so we jum ped off and joined
the masses, racing the clock.
Checking our w atches and realizing the late hour, our quick-paced walk became a jog. As we approached
the entrance, I could see the streams of people like ourselves, coming from every direction.
Outside the entrance, faceless people thrust bouquets of flowers into our hands, as if leaving those behind
would somehow signify th at we had been there. We walked hurriedly, just following the others, feeling th at they
knew for w hat it was we were hurrying to.
A nd then it started! It came up as a low wail, but as it continued, it rem inded me of a lonely howl. And
w ith its sound, everything stopped!
All the hurrying masses, all the flower-bearing people, the cars, the trucks, and even the buses stood still.
All thoughts centered around the sound and w hat it was m eant to inspire.
As I looked around, I saw thousands of faces and millions of eyes all echoing the same thoughts...
thoughts of life, thoughts of peace, and thoughts of loved ones who gave their lives for th at peace.
As one visits this place of rem em brance, one is told of those who gave their lives, fighting for this country.
The headstones read not of men and w om en who had spent their entire lives fighting for something they believed
in... but more of boys and girls who should be listed in a college yearbook, not etched in stone marking a final
resting place.
The tim e is very close for us to start packing up and heading back. Home to our families, our friends, our
universities and colleges. It is tim e to start thinking about w hat w e’re going to take back w ith us, w hat we got
from our year in Israel, and how it will help shape our lives back home.
I say, le t’s all take back one m em ory each. N ot just memories of parties, or the hikes, or Ulpan, or the beach,
or even our various travels. But at least ONE memory that will stay with us. Your first glimpse of the Western
Wall, maybe all the candles in peoples’ homes during H anukkah, or the excited faces of children, all dressed up
on Purim.
I’m going to rem em ber the tw o m inutes this nation stood still to honor and remember those who helped
make Israel w hat she is today. I’m going to remember the pride I saw in everyone s eyes, and the pride I felt to
be sharing th at feeling, not as a spectator but as a participant. This is the memory I am taking back w ith me.

If you can’t figure out this Hebrew, get a refund from your Ulpan teachers,
or stay here with us until you can read it.
I, in the meantime, will be in the U.S., longing for the great times we’ve
had together: tracing in the Jewish Q uarter the events of the Destruction of
the Temple (on Tish’a B’Av, fasting in the damned heat); climbing up
Masada between midnight and dawn, gazing at the cable car above our heads;
strolling on a warm Jerusalem evening between apartm ent buildings, in the
footsteps of the 1948 soldiers; browsing through King David’s secret papers,
towards midnight, in the spooky Valley of Nuts; watching the sunset beyond
the M editerranean from the roof o f a Crusader castle; dismantling our
skeletons while inner-tube rafting up north.(R ob and I were throw n into the
thorn bushes. My tube is in the Dead Sea by today.)
O ther memories: playing frisbee on a great soccer field outside a Druze
village in the Galil, and sleeping there, and anywhere else; and walking, and
walking: to the wells, to the springs, to the w ater creeks, to the waterfalls
and to the beaches; learning the battles on the Golan Heights, or the
differences between urban and rural settlem ents; learning the West Bank/
Judea and Samaria“balagan” ; being mystified on the stone steps of an alley
in ancient Sefad; teaching some deeply-urbanized, fifth-generation Americans
how to find the north in the pitch-black skies outside. And being sad it all
has ended, but that is only inside.

"Comfortable rocks"
"Comfortable rocks?"
"Yeah. Last night I was so tired from our
hike that I think I slept on comfortable rocks..
But what a great hike it was! On Thursday morning after
Yom Ha'atzmaut, 135 of us boarded our buses, dragging
our knapsacks and shaking off our hangovers on our way to
the OSA's longest hike this year. Sea to Sea we were to go
for four days with only two canteens, a hat, and as much toilet
paper we could carry— the Galilee will never be the same.
We commenced our hike at the Monfort castle (not quite at the
Sea - but who wants an "Almost Sea to Sea" hike anyway). We
then broke into four separate groups, proceeded down the wadi
and began to dream of the sea at the other end. Nights were
spent together devouring meals (special thanks to our cooks),
singing songs, nursing our bruised feet, and trying to find
somewhere to brush our teeth. The days were spent in the
glory of Northern Israeli wadis and mountains* hiking in paradise
and finding well-hidden bushes.
On Saturday night we settled, completely exhausted from 3 days
of hard exercise and little sleep (special thanks to th°*e
mysterious girls who sang until 2 AM the night before), on the
construction site of a newly planned settlement. Settled on
our "comfortable rocks", we gazed at the clear.night sky and
remained unconscious for eight hours. Our mission almost complete,
we reached the Kinneret the next day.
The Sea to Sea hike gave us the opportunity to really
see Israel. It was a special moment in our year, and
will not be forgotten. We must thank Micha and all
the madrichim for their wonderful guidance (and
patience!). We must also thank Benji for not
forgetting to mention hoW( much he enjoyed
the extra salami. Thanks!

The blues, reds, and greens of the stage lights blur as my
eyes fill with tears. Drop... and Shlomo Artzi is whole
again. Who is this guy anyway? And what right does he
have to create an ambiance in which I find myself reviewing
my past and contemplating my future in such agonizing
uncertainty?
It all started that morning when I and another 500 One
Year Program students from universities all over Israel
converged on the Givat Ram campus, and began our day at
"HaKesher," The whole day was a Zionist-Activism seminar
filled with "Hasbara" workshops, symposiums, lectures and
lettuce sandwiches.
The topics covered were a microcosm of my year, as
well as all the doubts and uncertainties about my future in
relation to Israel. As a native-born Israeli, who has lived in
the United States since age three, the question of aliya has
hit me very hard. I was brought up to love Israel, but my
growing-up process, and cultural ideas and thoughts, are
tied to the U.S.
Should I be an Israeli in America, or an American in
Israel? My choice of workshops at "HaKesher" indicated
my generally confused state. I first went to "Dealing with
Cultural Re-entry in the U.S." and then attended the
"Considering A liya" workshop.
I spent the whole day going through a series of mental
ups and downs, and finally entered the concert hall in an up
mood, my eyes shining Zionism. The symposium about
Israel and its relationship to the Diaspora had really
inspired me. "Think of living in Israel as a challenge, not as
a hardship, " I thought to myself. I was practically humming
"HaTikva. "
And now, sitting in the second row of the darkened
auditorium, staring at Shlomo Artzi's guitar, reality has just
set in. I had never ever heard any of his songs, but the
whole sound and atmosphere of the concert created just the
right mood for me to tune out and return to the States. I
remembered my first real "date," the prom, the time my
neighbors and I camped out in the front yard. I reviewed
the past 16 years and saw that I didn't want to give up what
I had in the States — friends, immediate family, shopping
malls.
Another tear falls. A tear for what was and can't be
again, for I am too affected by Israel. The blur of light
returns and I go back to all my wonderful visits to Israel,
as well as experiences throughout this year. How could I
deal with no more bus rides to Tel Aviv, no more views
from the Mt. Scopus amphitheatre, and not hearing Hebrew
spoken. All religious aspects aside, how could I go shopping
again on Saturday, or work, between 2 and 4, and not nap.
But most importantly, how could I say goodbye to the very
important friends I've made? The dilemma twirled round
and round in my brain, dancing to the beat of Shlomo
Artzi.
The sound of handclapping and boisterous singing
roused me from my reverie. My Israeli friends next to me
were singing loudly along to what apparently was a very
popular song. They looked so happy and comfortable with
where they were, and what they were doing. They seemed
so secure in their conviction to be living in Israel. I envied
them. Even if I did decide to live in Israel I would be
different.
My "Americanism showed in many small ways, and my
different cultural background and ideas would set me apart.
Despite my tactical command of Hebrew, I didn't understand
many of the private jokes and innuendos. I couldn't even
sing along to a Shlomo Artzi song.
Suddenly I felt remote from them. I didn't know if I
wanted to be in the U.S., but I felt I didn't completely fit
in here, in Israel, either. Where did I belong?
And then my very best friend, an Israeli, took my hand
wordlessly and gave me a hug. The look on his face
definitely did not indicate that he felt I was an outsider. He
smiled at me, and my last tear fell.
So, do I want to be an American Israeli or an Israeli
American? I don't know... When is the next Shlomo Artzi
concert?

From the senior member of the One Year Program: Greetings. It’s 4:00 AM and I’m reclining on your standard cot-bed in Idelson
Dorm plugged into my walkman listening to “ - hebrew - ” , trying to collect my thoughts to write about what has been one of
the most memorable years of my life. After my last visit to Israel in 1982,when I attended Ulpan Akiva for one month, I came home
to Tuscon and enrolled in the Intermediate Hebrew class at University of Arizona. In January, a young woman from the American
Friends of Hebrew University came and explained the One Year Program. My professor looked at me and said, Vivian, why not.
and I replied, “Why not!” , , ., ttT) .
The feeling of my family and friends was summed up in the words of my grand-daughter Barrie, when she said, Bubbi, *
you’re leaving when I’m five and you won’t be back till I’m six. Why do you have to go away for such a long time?”
I came to Israel alone. Fortunately my niece met me, brought me to Jerusalem, to Goldsmith to registration, to Shikunei
Ha’Elef - communal showers, bathrooms and kitchens. I gave myself a light pat on the back for adjusting. I didn’t know a soul on
campus when I came. I was accepted as just another student, pushing my way to get on the early morning bus.
What has this year really meant to me? I love you and thank you all and thank you for not just paying deference to me
because of my white hair, but accepting me as a student, friend, sister, mother and Bubbi. Thank you for your help m my studies,
your confidences, and the opportunity for the exchange of ideas between our generations. I wrote to my children that just being
with you has taken at least 40 years from my mental age. How old have you made me feel? 71 - never. 17 - sometimes.
To my teachers, advisors and all others connected with the One Year Program: Thanks for opening my mind to all there is
out there to be learned. Studying will be part of my life from now on. Utopia it has not been. We all know our frustrations, and I ve
made mine known where I hope it will do some good. . . , , k++i0
As I began to prepare myself to take leave of my second home, I look at this beautiful, wonderful complex, important little
land - a microcosm of the world - with admiration for its progress in just 37 years. There are problems Pressures confusion
bureaucracy and attitudes I can’t for the life of me understand, but I must say with my many Israeli friends, We will manage. It
WlU bW t a i w é up the hill from Idelson to Goldsmith, and look out over the beautiful holy city of Jerusalem, I know she has
taken a piece of my heart and will keep it for always, and I shall hold her close to my heart all my life.

Wien I too have a name
Aid if we somehow find a way to erase the names
So that we may be friends
Wan we walk together
People would not see us
But only the names we wear
end they would not see that
Wan we erase the names
There is no conflict
Such is life in a world
W are we judge the name not the persan
W are we lock for trust in a person
But cannot lock beyond their name

Lh< hough 11 could do it
Thought I ’d succeed
Ended up failing
I developed that need
F ought against it
Was told I should
F ought against it
Thought I could
Fooled m y self
Put up a wall
M aybe the inevitable
I was tring to stall
B u t at a certain point
I began to see
I began to realize
I t wasn’t ju st me
and the w alls cam e- t Um
k lin a d ow n
I t is through this door
That I finally see
Thousands o f doors
Just waiting fo r me
The more that I open
The more that I see
I t is better to do
Than to sit and to be
For the game o f life
Will always have doors
B u t the challenge in life
Is in m aking them yours
I t ’s a power, a magic
A trance and a force
I t ’s som ething so strong
I t ’s hard to divorce
BETH ASTOR
Los Altos, CA
I t ’s the land and the people
The history too
The love and the power
O f being a Jew
I t ’s a spell that Israel
U nwittingly casts
Leaving a mark
That will always last
So I stand here now
With a deep-set scar
Realizing things
A re n o t what they are
M y wall is crushed
A n d a need grips m e so
B u t it’s through this need
I have learned to grow
What I thought I wanted
Is im portant no more
M y supposed failing
Has opened a door

I don’t know where to begin. You want to know what this
year has meant to me. Well, to explain that, I’d have to tell
you about how I’ve changed, about how special the people
are with whom I’ve spent this year, about how interesting it
is to live amidst a different culture for a time, about how...
Okay, so you want me to begin with the facts —what
it was really like to live in Israel. Well, to explain, especially
to someone at home whose conception of this country is
something of an evening news haze, comprised of images of
a battle-torn country filled with two-camel garages; I guess
I’d start by explaining how much my conception of Israel
has changed since the summer. For one thing, living in
Jerusalem is very different from living in Haifa. In Haifa the
One Year Program is more of the authentic “Israeli”
experience, which was great in its place, but is also a bit
dull at times. But Haifa did prepare us. We all came to
realize the full impact of the word “efficiency.” It seems
the word has been removed from the dictionary of every
public worker in Israel. To get a true idea of what this
means, you’d have to stand in line at your nearest post
office, bank or grocery store. I’d say that most of us were
ready to come to Jerusalem, although I certainly don’t
mean to imply that the post offices, banks or supermarkets
are any better here. But Jerusalem is a little America (or
Canada) of sorts, a welcome sight at first. It can, however,
get a bit frustrating at times, not knowing whether to ask
directions of the person standing next to you on the street
in Hebrew or English. Well...
Yet living in Jerusalem has overall been great. I’d say
that most of us complain a little less about Israel now than
we did at first. Although a Jerusalem winter in a dorm that
conserves water, especially hot, and offers heating only a
few hours each day, is not always pleasant, I must say
that despite everything I love it. There’s just something
about the country that’s great. We all did a lot of travelling
during our vacations, but I think that most of us felt that
we were coming home when we hit Ben-GurionAirport. We
didn’t even get as mad at the taxi driver who ripped us off
as we would have normally. We did get angry, however,the
following week when the novelty of being back had turned
into a hard reality.
So you make a lot of jokes, but what did you really
think of this year? I think that everything that you’ll hear
about it, both good and bad, is true, but the only way to
really understand it, is to do it.

IS IT TIME
TO SAY GOODBYE?
V*A W
f f y
Is it really time to say goodbye?
Time to move on, leave Goldsmith behind?
We’ve grown so attached, it dictates all we do.
B ut one question remains, where are floors 1 and 2?
We’ve had a great year and travelled the land
Even Ulpan was an important part o f the plan.
Learning Hebrew, making friends, fun in every way.
How could we forget the good ’ole Givat Ram days?
Weeks full o f class, even some homework no doubt
Shabbat dinners, buses stop —how do we get out?
Parties every other day, tanning with Nesher beer
Thursday happy hour at Pini’s Pub, are all memories we hold dear.
A climb up Masada, on real hike
Tiyul to Tiberias, “rock talk” and the continental plate.
The youth hostel, young girl locked out - memories we can’t erase.
And then ... there’s heinous face.
Its origin is known, its meaning is clear
From banks to Egged buses, to just about everything here.
But w e’ve managed and realized Israel is different than home.
Now we just raise our arms and scream “Ma P it’o m ”
We reacted similarly when told to pack up our things
Up to Mt. Scopus we went, compared to the E lef —a palace for kings.
“The Big Move” the madrichim affectionately called the event.
So time to reclaim all those tapes and clothes which had been lent.
ROTHBERQ
overseas
So within Resnick and Idelson, we quickly settled down.
How nice to roll out o f bed, go to class, no long bus ride across town.
Goldsmith cafeteria became the place to be
For international relations, cheese toast, and a cup o f tea!
Such an interesting place to dwell
Where else but Mt. Scopus can you get to know cats so well?
They ’re about as pleasant as R o ch ’s rice
But be thankful - at least we have no mice.
Semester break Fume and we were quickly out the door
To forget about those papers which w e’d written the day before.
Two weeks in Europe was, surely a must
To clear from our heads the cobwebs and dust.
Since then, Spring Semester has come and gone
Telling us it’s time to move on.
It seems w e’ve done it all, but there’s always more to learn
Whether to live or visit, we promise to return.
