Introduction
Little did we know what our Israel experience would have in store for us the day we stepped off
the plane at Ben Gurion Airport. We came from all over the world, with backgrounds as varied as
those of the Israelis themselves. Our paths collided into one—we became the overseas programs
students of 1987-88.
Eleven months later we ask ourselves how it went by so quickly. But we knew before we came
that the One Year Program is just that—one year. We knew that some day we’d have to leave, to
say goodbye to our friends and to our life that we’d grown to love. The last few months have been
like a whirlwind for us, trying to see and accomplish all that we hadn’t yet had a chance to do,
trying to make this year fulfill all our expectations. For many of us, our expectations were even
surpassed. Who would have thought a person could learn and grow so much, and become so
independent, in only one year? Who would have thought we could become so close, could adjust
so well to a foreign culture, in such a short period of time?
But we did. At times we thought we’d never survive a whole year, but not only have we survived,
we have grown, and grown close to each other. No one can ever take away our past. Nothing can
ever destroy the bond we share, with each other and with Eretz Yisrael. And, of course, goodbyes
are not forever. As we go home, we’ll take what we’ve learned from this year, and carry it with us
all our lives. And while you’re reaching for your dreams, looking toward an unknown future,
never forget that there’s a source of inspiration, a place where you can retreat, a safe place deep
inside you that can make you smile anytime, anywhere.
All you need to do is remember that very special year. Yes, you know the one. Youryear in Israel.

Perched high atpp Mt. Scopus is the Hebrew University, a bastion of higher education in the
Holy Land. An exciting place to study, the Hebrew University was home this year to well over
1,300 foreign students. Getting along in the mysterious, convoluted bureaucracy that is
Israel—and the University in particular—can be a harrowing experience. In Let’s Go Hebrew
U, we attempt to guide the novice overseas student through the pitfalls and traps of study
abroad. Let our experiences be a lesson to ajl who follow, and a reminder to ourselves of the
most amazing year of our lives.

Planning Your Trip
Price Warning
We quote no prices in this yearbook. Our researchers in the field are irrelevant. The stock market
will crash, the dollar will fall, and the new 20-shekel bill will be real pretty. Prices will be
unpredictable but high. Converting prices to American dollar equivalents will thoroughly
confuse you.
Documents
Passports
Your passport will collect lots of really keen stamps in indecipherable foreign languages. If your
passport expires while you are in Israel, good luck to you dealing with your embassy. You need a
valid passport to do much of anything worthwhile around here. If you also have an Israeli
passport, you will be snatched up by the IDF and never be seen again.
Visas
Your tourist visa will expire after three months. You will have to stand in line forever to renew it,
or you can spend megabucks to leave the country every time it expires. If you have a student visa,
it will last all year but you will never be allowed to leave.
Student Identification
Your Histadrut HaStudentim card will be invaluable for getting into Resnick after dark—even if
you leave it in your room when you go out. But get one anyway. It’s a nice souvenir.
Money
Currency and Exchange
Israeli currency is the New Israeli Shekel (not to be confused with the Old Israeli Shekel, the New
Guinea Shekel, the Japanese Yen, or the New Israeli). American dollars work just fine, though.
For the best exchange rate, see Yossi outside Richie’s Pizza.
Traveler's Checks
Nothing is likely to cause more headaches than money—even when you have it. Traveler’s checks
are the safest and least troublesome way of carrying your funds—usually. In Israel, however,
nothing is easy. Carrying around loads of traveler’s checks is great for avoiding opening up a
bank account. But you’ll still have to stand in line at the bank for hours waiting to get them
cashed. Also, you can’t overdraft on a traveler’s check.
Credit Cards
Credit cards are great!!! Everybody takes them—except for developing film. Buy now, and your
folks pay later! Can you beat it? If your Visa account is overdrawn, pay it off your American
Express! Wow! Isn’t it great to pretend that you have money?
Sending Money Abroad
Forget it. By the time it gets here, every middleman imaginable has taken his share. Bank
transfers under $100 take three weeks; over $100 doesn’t have a prayer of arriving e oreju v.

Health
If you don’t have at least one intestinal crisis, you’ve wasted your year. Too much stomach
medicine is not enough. Let it be a social thing, dispensing Pepto-Bismol. And cherish the rare
moment when it all runs smoothly.
For more serious afflictions, don’t worry! You’re right across the street from the finest medical
institution in the Middle East. Just bring a book when you sit in their emergency room. Like War
and Peace.
Safety and Insurance
What do you want? Mob riot coverage? Make sure that your policy covers rocks thrown both by
Palestinian insurgents and by Ultra-Orthodox Jews.
Packing
Take everything you own. Completely disregard all airline restrictions. Remember, if you forget
anything, Uncle Jack and Aunt Bessie can always bring it over when they come with the Hadassah
group. They’re staying at the Hyatt, don’t you know, so you’ll see them plenty. And did I tell you
about their new house? Like you’ve never seen! And I heard from Sadie that ...
Climate
God resides in Jerusalem, so when you complain about the parching heat in summer He takes it
to heart. That’s why the winter is much colder than you planned, with plenty of wind and rain.
You’ll never figure out how this city ran out of water in a siege. You’ll probably be travelling in
Europe in both October and April, when the seasons switch, so you’ll be completely disoriented
when you return.
Planning Your Trip
Getting There
Chanting “Dov Friedlander is God,” the throngs of eager American students swarmed the El A1
747 fully prepared for the gruelling transatlantic flight. Three hours later, still on the ground at
JFK, the intrepid overseas-students-to-be had been Jewish Geographied to exhaustion. Revived
by pillowfights, impromptu Hebrew classes, and gourmet airline cuisine, we settled back to
thoroughly enjoy the 12-hour flight. Some reminisced of home; many thought of the year ahead;
all wrestled with the profound issues before them; to sleep or not to sleep? After hours of sheer
bliss, the altitude-fried denizens of Economy Class disembarked, senseless, into the glory that is
Ben Gurion International Airport. The joy of our arrival was made complete by the appearance of
large trucks to carry our battered, bruised, and identically colored duffel bags to the University.
In the buses to our well-appointed dorms, we each mouthed a silent prayer thanking the Hebrew
University for looking after us so well. We settled into our seats and, wired to the gills,
contemplated the exciting year to come.

Summer Ulpan
It is 7:30 am. Your alarm goes off and you try your hardest to ignore it, but the annoying ringjust
won’t go away. It takes you a second to recall where you are and convince yourself you’re not
dreaming. It’s real, very real—you are in Israel and you are rising at an absurd hour for an Ulpan
class.
Think way back to around May of 1987. You’ve been accepted to the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem on the One Year Program and you’re going to spend one fun-filled year abroad. But
first you must attend the two month Summer Ulpan to prepare for Your Year In Israel. So what
exactly is this Ulpan thing? Well, I’m not quite sure but I know we’ll be learning Hebrew and it
should be a lot of fun.
Looking back, one must distinguish between Ulpan classes and the fun. The two just don’t go
together. Sitting in an unairconditioned room for four hours a day during a very nasty heatwave
was not fun. Being harassed for not doing your homework by a teacher younger than you was not
fun. Being switched to a lower class because you seem to be inept was not fun. I think it is fair to
say that Hebrew class was not the primary source of all the good times we experienced that
summer.
If you think carefully you’ll remember where the fun came from. Yes, that’s right—Givat Ram,
affectionately known as Givat Scum. Givat Ram, an experience of a lifetime, a characterbuilding
two months during which you lived the unbelievable. For two months you were tested to
see how far you could be pushed before committing a terrible act of violence. Your room was an
oversized closet. Your showers were cold trickles of water. Your Kraft Dinner was shared with
the five million stray cats who called Givat Scum home. If you were lucky, as a show of
appreciation you acquired ringworm from these cats. For the elite who were placed on the
bottom level, walking up those stairs was an added bonus. Not to mention the three mile hike
from the front gate down to the dorms. Boy, what fun!
While all these memories will stay with us forever, everyone must agree that the single most
exciting part of Givat Ram was the fighting, screaming, scratching, crawling, pushing, pulling,
shoving and falling that went on without fail each morning when all one thousand of us tried to
get on a single Egged bus hoping to get to class on time. This is something I know I’ll miss when
I’m back home.
For those who managed to get on the bus without being maimed, Ulpan awaited. Shalom, ma
shlomech? Wow, that was great. I can speak Hebrew. Yes, but soon the novelty wore off and
boredom set in. You began to look for any excuse not to attend class. And God forbid you should
miss class for reasons other than your own death. Try explaining to the Ulpan Police that you
didn’t go to class today because you just didn’t feel like it. Ha!
All these great memories of the summer helped spice up those tedious hours spent in the
classroom. The amazing trips organized for us by OSA, congregating in the cafeterias during
breaks, meeting people, sitting at an outside cafe on Ben Yehuda, or just hanging out—these are
what we’ll always remember about Summer Ulpan. Despite all we put up with, if asked to do it
again, I would answer without hesitation—betach!

A View from Lebanon Naji Majdalawi,
I came to Israel in order to study and try to live a life which is completely different from the life
that I lived in my homeland, Lebanon, and my home city, Beirut.
Everything was new for me. It was a little bit difficult to get used to all these interesting new
things but these difficulties passed after two or three weeks. One example of these things was to
study on Sunday in the Summer Ulpan. The Sunday class was so boring at the beginning, but
later on it became beseder. On Shabbat it is a little bit difficult in Israel: the market is closed, even
no buses. It was hard for me to get used to the new kind of bread. But the most difficult thing was
that I couldn’t get in contact with my parents, either by telephone or by direct mail.
Perhaps there were many difficulties, but what were the interesting things that I liked? I made
many friends from all the world and from different religions: Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and
it was very nice to study with them in peace. I heard so many languages as well. For me it was nice
to practice my Hebrew and improve my English and not to forget my Arabic.
I love the Hebrew University, the teachers and their methods of teaching. I love the new
language, which is the sister of my first language, Arabic. I forgot something called War, and I
forgot something called East Beirut and West Beirut. On the other hand, I learned something
called East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem.
Finally, I want to thank my advisor, Moshe Fass, Israel Roi’s office, and all the teachers because I
really loved them and I wish all the success to the Hebrew University and to Eretz Yisrael, and I
hope it will receive what it is missing here, and missing in my country, Lebanon: Shalom—Peace.

If you thought that Givat Ram was bad in the summer, try it in the
winter. The overriding theme of Winter Ulpan was the cold.
Everything was cold—our rooms, the showers, the constant wind
and rain, the Israelis on our halls trying to study for exams, the
antique kerosene heaters, and the walk to the gate when we missed
the 28 Aleph; and who among us has never missed a 28 Aleph? But
despite being chilled to the bone, we Second Semester students
soon learned the simple pleasures of Winter Ulpan: making that
7:35 am bus, eating cheesetoast every day for breakfast and lunch,
making it to the bank or post office before it closed, sunning at the
beaches of Tel Aviv and Eilat, getting lucky in the housing lottery,
discovering mail in the daily stampede to the Goldsmith
mailboxes, and complaining non-stop about the inhuman
conditions at Givat Ram. And, of course, learning Elebrew.

Talent Show
o o

As the long-awaited Talent Show/End of Ulpan Party approached we found it necessary to
prepare for the evening’s festivities. At the Mt. Scopus makolet we purchased a bottle of Sprite
and two bottles of three-shekel Israeli vodka. Little did we know what a dangerous investment
three-shekel Israeli vodka would prove to be.
Without delay, the fun began. We gathered in the pit and, shot glasses in hand, drank to our
hearts’ desires, if not to our stomachs’. We were soon travelling, arm in arm, singing, to Club 12
1/2. As people piled in, the DJ began to play some tunes. Suddenly I found myself on stage doing
a small rap for the assembled audience. For the next five minutes, my hands, feet, body, and
mouth performed for the crowd without the approval of my brain. I was finally kicked off the
stage by everyone’s favorite kinda guy, Gil, and the real talent show began.
For the next hour or so we were entertained by acts of great talent from around the world. We
were overwhelmed by If I Were a Rich Man, regaled by Psycho Killer, moved by Australian arias,
and wowed by a true South-of-the-Border rendition of La Bamba. And of course, Danny and
Laurie, the evening’s MC’s, put on quite a show themselves.
But when we thought it was all over, the music began to play and we danced through the night
with the wild abandon so typical of overseas students. A true show of unity: all of us Ulpaners
dancing together without a thought of our upcoming finals. Finally around three or four in the
morning we retired to our rooms, took cold showers, and passed out for the next six days. Truly
an unforgettable evening. Only in Israel.

Haredim, soldiers, students, tourists, Arabs—the place to which all venture is of necessity
the Tachana Mercazit.
How many times have students run to Tel Aviv for the day, passed through it on the number
28, or dropped some agurot in an outreached hand waiting at the entrance?
City to city trips brought about the same excitement of venturing towards another sea,
another mountain, or another kibbutz, and the return climb to Jerusalem reminded us of the
nature of the city in which we live, that we so often take for granted.

Givat Ram
When you look back on the overseas programs ten years from now, many memories will fade
into the deep dark recesses of your mind, and only certain obscure images will remain. We have
included “The Givat Ram Blues” in the yearbook lest you forget those wonderful Givat Ram
days, when we all formed friendships and attempted, between suntanning and partying, to learn
what Hebrew we could.
Those days are already far away, and they will only grow dimmer and dimmer. We may have
complained loudly about the cats, the bus ride, the cats, the terrible showers and toilets, the cats,
and, oh yes, those #!!!! stairs. Even so, underneath our complaints we were smiling, because we
were having so much damn fun.

The Givat Ram Blues
Six times a week I climb those stairs
Gotta push gotta shove—got only one care
Knapsack in your face
That bus is gonna get me there
Five times a day I run to the can

The smell’s everywhere
From my room to the can

Stay up all night

I got the Givat Ram Blues
I’ve got disgusting dirty
ain’t fit for no one blues
There used to be cats all over the dorm-as
But they gave us ringworm and cramped our form-a
They pissed us off big time
So now they’re schwarma
Roaches you can ride, up your leg at night
It’s two in the morning and it wants to fight
Smashed that sucker’s head in
And set it alight
Supposed to be in Ulpan but 1 never go
It’s been six weeks now and I still haven’t showed
All I have learned
Is “Shmee Joe”
Givat Ram sucked but boy did we pay
500 for six weeks—we should have had maids
Hell, for that kind of money
We should have been laid.

The Big Move
Word had been circulating about Givat Ram for weeks: “The Big Move . . . The Big Move is
coming . . . Are you ready for The Big Move?” I began to grow anxious in anticipation of the
ominous-sounding event. Just what would it be like? Would my personal belongings survive?
Would I?
Soon it was a mere week until The Big Move. An orientation meeting was called—my heart
skipped a beat. I knew that OYP orientation meetings heralded events of tremendous import.
The Elef Dorms veritably shook with tension. The meeting only increased anxiety and confusion.
I barely slept those nights preceding The Big Move.
And then it was upon us. Looking back I can recall hysteria, heat, exhaustion, and profound
boredom. The stern, dignified look the Inspector gave me will remain forever burnt into my
memory. I melted before her gaze. And with her “beseder” my heart leapt—I was free of Givat
Ram forever!
As I shlepped my amazingly heavy duffles up to the bus, weaker OYP students lay sprawled along
the path, their baggage beside them. They clawed at my legs, begging for help. Their luggage was
far too heavy. Pretending not to notice, I held my head high and walked onward. I reached the line
of proud but exhausted students who had made it this far. And I waited, and waited. Two hours
later I was on the bus, insulated by tons of baggage.
I recall my first sight of the Mount Scopus campus. Its tower rose over the horizon as the sun
shone off its crown. Others crowded about me as the sea lapped against the hull of our ship.
Deposited at Resnick dorms, I made it to the housing office. There I was all but physically abused
as my roommate and I begged not to be given the room off the bathroom. “I’m allergic to stool
odor,” he shouted. It was to no avail.
We walked, numbed, to our new room and opened the door. We felt at first fear, then
exhileration, then suspense, then worry, anxiety, relief, joy, ecstasy, indignation, anger, rage,
indifference, apathy, satisfaction, resigned existentialist angstless Zen calm. Then we were very
We had survived The Big Move.

Dorm Life: Not a Day of Peace
7:00 am — My alarm doesn’t go off, but it’s ok because the kind, fat cleaning woman subtly
raises her voice and bashes her cleaning instruments into my door. I lie in bed and dream about
Saturdays when she’s not around and I can sleep past 7:00 am.
7:01 am — I drag myself off my prison cot. I run to the bathroom only to find that I have once
again lost the morning toilet paper race. It’s a very strange phenomenon. There’s not even a shred
of that green sandpaper left. Someone must have taken it. Yet there’s not a peep on the floor, all
the doors are closed and I just know someone is lying in bed with an empty bladder and three rolls
of toilet paper, one of which is rightfully mine.
7:02 am — I play charades with the fat cleaning woman and after 45 excruciatingly painful
seconds she blurts out something to the effect of “Allah shaba daba doo” and hands over a roll of
T.P.
7:10 am — I return to my room and open my closet. It’s totally empty. My friends have struck
again. Yes, while I was sleeping those savage raiders invaded ... but wait! Something catches my
eye. Oh, joy. They didn’t take everything. My dirty tennis clothes are still in a ball at the bottom
of my closet. I find buried treasure at the bottom of my laundry bag: two semi-clean socks. I’m
set. just have to brush my teeth and I’m outta here.
Oh roommate . . . oh roommate . . . W hat’s this brown guck at the bottom of our sink?
“Oh, I was just waxing my legs. Run the water. It should slide right down.” Right. The only thing
that ever slid right down were my contacts.
Now who’s that pounding on my door? The cleaning woman has already left. Oh, it’s Shlomo the
Handyman.
$ “Kol beseder bacheder?”
Sink, meet Shlomo. Shlomo, meet sink. Roommate, meet Shlomo and sink. Goodbye, Shlomo,
roommate, and sink. Have fun. I have a test.
10:30 am — I run back to my room for a mail check. Like an idiot I always think today’s the day. I
can prove to everyone that I do have friends outside the walls of Jerusalem. The tension mounts
as I pass fellow students in the courtyard reading their mail. I make it to the door with bated
breath. I open it for a wenchy girl with 12 letters. I race down the stairs wide-eyed. I whip open
my mailbox and there it is, that orange and white envelope, for the third time this month.
Laughing at me. I slam the box closed. If I just leave it here maybe it will slowly disintegrate. If
not I’ll just put it in someone else’s box tomorrow. I leave for my next class.
6:30 pm — Back for dinner on the hall. I open the refrigerator to see what I can throw together.
Perhaps a brown pepper with bruised tomato. Sounds appetizing. Forget dinner—I’ll just take a
shower.
6:35 pm — Excuse me, does anyone know what happened to the hot water?
“Just let it run for six or seven hours. It’ll warm up.”
7:30 pm — I finally get to hang with my friends after not seeing them all day. We laugh, we joke,
we sing, we hear a knock. A voice from the other side.
“I cannot bear it anymore. We are serious students in this country. We have tests in two months.
If you want to yell, please to yell quietly.”
I make a deal—I’ll be quiet if she gives me a roll of toilet paper. Not a day of peace .. . Lila tov.

Lower Re snick
Lower Resnick is the area in the Resnick dorms where very few One Year Programmers live and
even fewer venture to visit. To go past the supermarket steps is just too much of a mission, and
besides, “why should we go all the way down there? It’s much easier for you to come up to us
here.”
For those fortunates who did actually make the journey this past year it was as though they had
just climbed Mount Sinai. Huffing and puffing they proudly declared, “Whew—made it!”
Congratulations. You just walked one quarter of the way to Idelson.
But except for—or perhaps because of—the lack of visitors venturing down under, “Lower
Resnick” has truly been a multi-cultural experience for overseas students. Not only has it been
possible for us to hike up that two minute walk whenever we desired, but it was also nice to know
that there was always a room awaiting us to which we could return whenever we wanted to
escape the North American Ghetto.
It was a place that we called home for the year, and in this place we were given the great
opportunity to broaden our horizons beyond the U.S. and Canada. Many of us now have close
friends from all over Europe, Central and South America that we can call upon when travelling to
these foreign countries—all for the small price of an extra two-minute walk.

Kibbutz Dati
f h oh! Here they come! Is it a softball team? A
linyan? A right wing political organization? No, it’s
ist those fun-loving guys from the third floor of
esnick 2 who call themselves “Kibbutz Dati.”
lost of us came from the “ religious floor” at Givat
am. Our home towns range from Los Angeles to
oronto to Sydney. We are a constitutional
^operative: what’s mine is mine, yours is yours, but
jrs is ours. While dishes, cutlery, and food is
lared by all, household appliances and personal
tides of clothing are off limits (however, on
tcasion Bennett is found wearing someone elSe’s
nderwear).
lose friendships have formed on the hall, and
ibbutz members have participated together on
any of the year’s activities: Joseph, DBA, political
:tions, Perach, Gadna, and Pitball, as well as
:hers. Late night card games, early morning
inyans, and Shabbos-around-the-Country are
:her Kibbutz specialties.
must be mentioned that although each resident of
le hall is an official “Kibbutz Dati Member,” each
also an individual in his own right. Although we
/e together, we don’t necessarily share the same
toughts on Israel. Judaism, and life,
his year abroad was truly special. Special times are
ily made better by sharing them with special
iends. While this year must unfortunately come to
close, the memories and friendships will live on

Shmira
Wh’at would one expect the overseas student to prefer doing on a cold, windy, rainy night at 2:
in the morning? You may guess drinking at the Rock, cramming for an exam, or partaking
other indoor activities inappropriate to mention in a publication of this nature. But these guess
are all incorrect, for the Hebrew University student will be found in a small tin cubicle, arm
with a flashlight, protecting his fellow students from harm in the fulfillment of his obligation
shmira.
Two or three times during the year, the Hebrew U student will head over to Resnick 8 or Idelsc
42 to recieve his assignment. It may be a simple task like guarding the gate ne<
Goldsmith—ideal for socialites and gossipmongers. This strategic position enables the shomt
to see who is going out with whom, and more importantly who is returning with whom.
The assignment might be a more challenging one. For instance, guarding the car gate. Durin
any given 4-hour session, the average shomer must get out of his cubicle, open the gate at
check I.D. cards and license plates of incoming vehicles around 65 times. This job is especial!
fun in the rain.
You may have to guard Lower Resnick and check the bus station periodically for suspicion
objects. Personally I have only found suspicious students with too much alcohol in the!
bloodstreams. But checking the bus stop is a necessary job not to be taken lightly.
If you’re lucky, you get to walk around with a walkie-talkie like oneof the undercover securifl
guys at the airport. It’s important to dress the part if you are privileged enough to be on walkie
talkie duty. You must try to emulate Don Johnson to the best of your ability to even hope
receive this prestigious assignment.
Shmira can be a lot of fun, especially if your partner is Israeli. Not only do you get a chance
brush up on your Hebrew, but you can listen to a 4-hour tirade on why Americans are inferiorte
Israelis. Also, it’s a pleasant sense of familiarity when you recognize the people harassingyouii
the Baritone.
Shmira is, of course, an important job. Should danger come to Mt. Scopus, your shomrimati
always there to protect and serve. I sleep well at night knowing that no terrorist death ninja,no
heavily armored assault column, not even Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and tbi
Incredible Hulk could get by those unsung heroes of shmira. Truly, this is the Israel Experience

Keeping in Touch
Telephones
Ode to an old friend? At the mercy of a notorious foe? Succumbing to psychotic mood wings?
Aesthetically unattractive yet linguistically talented in four idioms. Undependable, however
indispensable. Our only link to Western civilization.
No matter in which language: telephone, el telefono, la telephone, hatelefone—an overseas
student must realize that there is no evading the use of this traumatizing apparatus. I
would refer to it as the “idiot box” but my parents have reserved that title for the
television. You’ll notice the parallel between telephone and television in that they both
cause parents heartache. Also, they both begin with “tele.”
Many a night students can be seen in the phone room in Resnick 5 as late as 4:00 in the morning
punching, kicking and cursing phones because there’s an important call coming in from
abroad—no doubt a girl or boy friend—and the expletive deleted phones aren’t working. How is
it possible that all seven phones are broken?!? Even more discouraging are the queues, at times as
long as 25 strong. And you’re number 2 6 .1 also get a real charge watching students freak out
when the asimon machine is de-asimoned.
If the walls in the phone rooms could talk the conversations would be enough to fill a best-seller
book: The Trials and Tribulations of Telephone Calling (soon to be available in the
Akademon for 85 NIS). Here are a few of the more prominent entries:
“Daddy, I love you, you’re the greatest and I’m 1,000 shekels overdrawn and I... uh, Daddy?
Daddy?” (No doubt a severe disconnection!)
“Grandma, I know you want me to come home and go to med school like cousin Marvin but I’ve
decided to join the army. Why? Because green is my favorite color."
“Jon, I’m sorry but this long distance relationship can’t continue like this. I think it would be
better if we could see other people . . . What do you mean you’ve already started to?”
The behavior of students as they meekly converge upon the imposing blue-green phones is quite
a sociological phenomenon. They no longer memorize Gafni or Nisan notes. Rather, the most
rewarding challenge has become memorizing the taped recordings of the infamous “ 18”
overseas operator. I know that my Arabic has certainly improved. Maybe I should stick to writing
letters.

The One Year Pasta
Many equate the acronym “OYP” with the One Year Program. Yet in terms of providing one
with nourishment during the year, these three letters take on a new significance: the One Year of
Pasta. Call it what you like—spaghetti, macaroni, or noodles—it is all composed of the same
basic ingredients of wheat and water formed into unique shapes of starch. Pasta serves as a most
eloquent dish in the luncheon lexicon, a basic component of every OYPer’s diet.
Pasta’s popularity stems from its versatility and ease of preparation. Considering the availability
of cooking facilities in one’s kitchen, pasta ranks high as a quick, easy meal for students on the
go. Besides, who ever heard of wonderpot cooking before reading the program’s handbook
anyway?
Culinary success proves an achievable objective when cooking pasta. If one can boil water, half
the battle is already won. The momentum to continue on to Noodle Nirvana is left to one’s taste
and imagination.
My attempts at inventiveness have led to such creations as cold noodles in a peanut sauce and
spicy eggplant pesto over corkscrew noodles. The results have elicited high approval from many a
connoisseur, especially my kitchenophobic and freeloading roommate.
From a creative, economic, and nutritional standpoint, pasta provides the OYP student a
memorable palate pleaser. I hope the trials and jubilations associated with pasta this year have
contributed immensely to everyone’s Israel experience.

I set out to write the great American novel but ended up working for the yearbook as an unpaid
restaurant critic. W hat’s worse, I’m stuck in the cafeteria section. Things are just not looking
good for me. My assignment: the cafeterias of Mount Scopus. It would not be a good day.
“New York, Neeeew Yooork!” The last refrain of that tune just wouldn’t go away. Oh Frank
Sinatra, you have glorified a great city, buddied with mobsters, and lent your name to the
greatest food emporium our fair school has to offer. But like all great eateries, “Frankie’s” has
its quirks—like the Chinese chickem One is always given the choice of harif or bli harif, yet it
always tastes the same. Or those incomparable french fries: no matter if they’re fresh from the
fryer or left overnight, that trademark limpness is omnipresent. Nonetheless, Frank’s remains
quite popular among the lunchtime crowd.
A quick jog across the Nancy Reagan Plaza (in solidarity therewith, my review was cleared ahead
of time with Dr. Love, my astrologer) and I walk down to the Education building and the location
of my second meal—the Stark Cafeteria. “Stark” is the theme borrowed from the quality of the
food. The schnitzel here is unique, a thin slab of chicken fried in bread crumbs with absolutely no
effect on the human taste buds. A blue ribbon panel of biochemists has yet to explain this
amazing dish served up hundreds of times a day, year after year, by a crack team of chefs who, in
all fairness, brew the best matzah ball soup on campus.
With lead in my belly I slowly ambled outside and over to the Social Science wing, there to review
a light meal in the “Veggie Cafe.” Now this place is no Off the Square, but in my opinion offers
the tastiest meal for the best price. A fine if unchanging selection of cheese, potato, and spinach
pies is available to the hungry student. Lifeless round pizza slices (just like mom used to pull out
of the toaster oven) are also a local delicacy. A big thumbs down, though, for the odor that the
Veggie Cafe wafts out into the hallway. A scent not unlike that found around a backyard
compost heap seems to put off hungry but weak-stomached students. All in all, you won’t starve
on Mt. Scopus, but that’s as far as I’m willing to go. Say, anyone want to go to Norman’s for a
burger?

Cheesetoast
Food
My alarm clock sounded at 6:30am with the same annoying noise
capable of waking up the entire population of Resnick, except
me...usually. On this particular day, however, the immunity that I had
developed to the threat of my alarm was taking a vacation. My hand
reached out from under the covers, and thus began the first waking
hour of my day. 1quickly dressed and prepared myself for the first day
of first semester and my first cheesetoast since Ulpan.
It w^s a long and painful wait through the 24 days of October break.
Recurring visions of the last day of Ulpan haunted me, as I
remembered the six IDF soldiers who had pulled me away from the
kiosk in the university and confiscated the sleeping bag that I had set
up there. At night my dreams allowed me to escape into a utopian
world in which the only ingredients that existed were pita, cheese, and
tomatoes. Cheesetoasts would hang from every tree. I would awake
with a smile on my face, but realizing that it was only a dream,
depression would set in once again, as I returned to the reality of my
cheesetoastlessness. The pangs of withdrawal plagued my every
waking hour.
Finally, the long-awaited moment had arrived. Not having slept much
the night before in anticipation of this day, I entered the university
and waited restlessly next to the kiosk. My suppliers finally arrived
and greeted their best customer with nervous smiles, remembering
the havoc I had wreaked the previous month. “Cheesetoast,
bevakasha,” I eagerly blurted out, as my daily routine from Ulpan
reasserted itself. Knowing that I meant business, they quickly
prepared three cheesetoasts, as I unconsciously drooled onto my
shoes. The aroma of melting cheese, its familiar sizzling sound, and
the churning of my stomach were unbearable. I threw myself over the
counter and ransacked the kiosk, my jaws frantically slicing into pita
after pita in an orgy of frenzied, slobbering self-gratification.
I sat on the floor, picking the few remaining gobs of cheese off my
soiled clothes, and pitied my friends and family at home, who'couldn’t
experience the Nirvana that I had discovered. “What did you do in
Israel,” they will ask me, and, as I lean back in my chair, a nostalgic,
one-word response will come to mind: “cheesetoast.”

Goldsmith Building
A small, unintimidating building perched high atop Mount Scopus, Goldsmith (or Goldschmidt,
depending on which language you’re speaking) was our home away from home. That this one
little building could serve so many purposes to so many people is a tribute to the genius of Israeli
engineering.
Adorned with colorful posters plastering its walls, both inside and out—“Hiking trip orientation
tonight at 9:00 pm. Everyone must attend!” or “Joseph Cast: Dress rehearsal tomorrow night”
or “Need help with your Hebrew? Experienced tutor available”—Goldsmith was the nexus of
the information network for overseas students. If one wanted to know what was happening, they
need only walk up the stairs, past the earring and bracelet market, and through those gates, and
all questions were answered. That is, if you were able to squeeze your way through the hundreds
of people that seemed to crowd the entrance and narrow hallways. And if you were able to pass
the stringent security check.
The Goldsmith Library, where day and night a class called Social Hour 101 was held, the
cafeteria, and the ever available staff of OSA all serve to broaden the scope of Goldsmith’s
functions. A communications center as sophisticated as any on Mount Scopus, Goldsmith
boasts both mailboxes and generally functioning telephones. The Goldsmith building is an
administrative powerhouse, where decisions reached in low whispers over bottomless files shake
Mount Scopus to its very fundament. Goldsmith’s permanent Activities Fair in the front
courtyard kept many a student from slipping into apathy and ignorance. OYPers, FYPers,
Freshmen, and Mechinistim all found their niche in Goldsmith’s warm, accepting halls.
But Goldsmith was more than just an information service, a social center, a post office, food
dispensation establishment, and administrative bastion. The Goldsmith building had another
use. Try real hard to remember what that one was. Oh, yes. We had classes there, too!

Seminars
It is hard to become an expert on the Middle East. However, with the series of seminars planned
throughout the year, OYP students were given the chance to really broaden their insights.
The series began during Summer Ulpan with the Arab-Israeli Conflict Seminar which explored
the roots of the conflict, the territories, the role of the Superpowers, and terrorism. For those
who wanted to experience Israeli life close up, there was September’s Israeli Society Seminar,
where students spent a Shabbat with families in a settlement town, moshav or kibbutz in the
Gaza Strip. Having taken place in the summer, long before the Intifada began, OYPers got the
chance to experience a side of Israeli life seldom portrayed in media coverage of the region.
The highlight of fall semester was November’s Media in Israel Seminar, which allowed students
to actually experience how a news event is covered in Israel, as well as learn about problems
faced by reporters and editors by prominent Western correspondents currently serving in
Israel. Again, taking place several weeks before the uprisings in the territories, students were
given valuable tools to analyze the Western press’ coverage of events as they developed.
During the spring, there were two very timely seminars plus a historical one. The Israel Is-
Real?! Seminar in March brought experts in Israel’s economy, politics, and army to OYPers in
lively question-and-answer sessions. In April, in conjunction with Yom HaShoah, Beit Hillel
sponsored a three-day seminar complete with movies and lecturers, culminating in a national
service at Yad Vashem with President Chaim Herzog and Prime Minister Itzak Shamir. In
partial response to the battering Israel’s image has received back home by the press, May’s
Activism Seminar, held in the Jerusalem Pine Forest, dealt with the difficult question, “what
are we going to tell them when we get back?” The highlight of the program was a West Bank
university lecturer who proved to OYPers just how difficult it is to confront an anti-Israel
speaker. Clearly, all these seminars helped the overseas students better understand and
appreciate their year in Israel.

Bet Mid rash
Marc Krell
When I decided to come to Hebrew University on the One Year Program, I knew that it would be a great chance for me
to have a “cultural experience” in Eretz Yisrael, a chance to become part of the society, instead of just looking in from
the outside. I was excited about both the education I would receive and the opportunity to get to know Israelis. For me,
that exposure was not limited to meeting Israelis in the street, thanks to a wild American dude from L.A. with whom I
learned Torah in the Bet Midrash program.
This program brought together overseas students and students from Yeshivot in Israel, and allowed us to discover
many facets of Judaism with people to whom we could relate. Every Monday night, small learning groups discussed
Jewish ethics and law, religious customs and daily practice, prayer, and more. We were taught by learned Rabbis and
other knowledgeable Jewish men and women. The majority of the students were involved in a special tutorial
program, getting together one on one with students from Yeshiva backgrounds. It was a chance not only to learn
about the religion on an informal basis, but to make a new friend with whom to discover what it is really like to live a
Jewish life in Israel.
I developed a lasting friendship with my tutor that went far beyond the Hecht Synagogue, in both a personal and a
religious sense. I had found a friend with whom I could spend Shabbat in Jerusalem, and to whom I could turn to for
anything. The Bet Midrash program enabled me to get the cultural experience I was looking for in a very special way.

Soviet Jewry
Awareness of the plight of Soviet Jewry has increased on campus over this past semester.
February saw the beginning of a revival of Soviet Jewry activism when ten Hebrew University
students joined many others at a reception in Lod to meet ex-Prisoner of Zion Alexei Magarik.
Throughout the month of March, approximately twenty students attended a Soviet Jewry
activism training program sponsored by the World Union of Jewish Students in conjunction
with OSA. The program included accounts of life in refusal in the Soviet Union by recent olim, a
historical perspective of anti-Semitism in the USSR, powerful videos, and programming ideas
for students to bring home to their respective campuses.
In April, a group of students organized a Soviet Jewry letter writing booth outside the Goldsmith
building. In a single morning, 149 postcards to refusniks Anna Chernobilskaya and Boris
Goldberg were written.
In our year in Israel, it is important for us to remember those who are not permitted to join us
here. Hopefully our continued work will enable these and other Prisoners of Zion to be allowed
to join us here in Israel in the near future. . T r , ,

Volunteering
To some, old age implies uselessness and depression. To others, however, it can be just the
opposite. Myriam Mendilow, deeply affected by witnessing the neglect and degeneration of the
elderly in various deprived Jerusalem neighborhoods, set the foundations for Life Line for the
Old, Yad L'Kashish. This unique institution, which enables the elderly to regain their dignity in a
productive and meaningful way, started in 1962 with 14 people and has grown to a beautiful
community with hundreds of elderly members. Life Line for the Old has 14 workshops where
elderly and disabled workers of many different ethnic groups spend time working in various
handicrafts, from bookbinding and ceramics to metalwork and weaving.
This year a number of Hebrew University students took the opportunity to volunteer at Yad
L Kashish. These students worked side by side with the elderly and disabled in these workshops,
and had the privilege of listening to these special people tell stories about their lives. Not only did
these students provide an invaluable service to Life Line for the Old, but their participation also
strengthened their affection, appreciation, and respect for the elderly.

Historical Geography of
Jerusalem
A guided tour of Jerusalem? It meets only once a week? Memorize tourist sites—for a grade?
Now this is a class I’ve gotta take, I thought to myself. There must be a catch. Maybe we have to
sit through an additional lecture twice a week or spend 12 hours a week in the Armenian Quarter,
or possibly, heaven forbid—write a term paper? My anxiety was only slightly relieved at the first
class meeting. I arrived early with field notebook, pen, and map of the Old City of Jerusalem in
hand, walking shoes on my feet. W hat’s this? No field trip? Two and a half hours of lecture from
those twin titans of stimulating verbiage and veritable human dictionaries of the English
language, Professors Ben-Arieh and Sapir? My fellow students and I were ecstatic to learn that
this exercise in sleep-inducing speech patterns would only be repeated once more during the
semester.
The next Wednesday my three month odyssey of Jewish, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Muslim
Jerusalem began. It seemed that every world power in the last 3,000 years has ruled our fair home
town. Our class and the Monday Hebrew section were treated to some fascinating sites,
intriguing explanations, and good times during the semester. We trekked from the City of David
to the Tower of David and even to the historically elusive Tomb of David. We were even treated
to a tour of the recent excavations along the western wall of the Temple Mount. Memorizing the
boundaries of the Jewish Quarter, the changing layout of the city walls, and the chronological
history of Jerusalem added to our appreciation of the city in which we live for the year.
Concurrent with my appreciation of Jerusalem’s history was my observation of an incredible
phenomenon occurring within my own class. Each class an attendance sheet was passed around
to sign. To my own admittedly fallible human eyes, there was rarely in excess of twenty students
present. Yet week after week the sheet would be returned to Professor Sapir or to that
Rock’n’Roll Cub Scout, grad student Yossi Glass, with a full roster of all forty students’
signatures. I guess the Church of the Dormition has lost its allure to tired students, and the
intricacies of Mameluke architecture no longer send students into waves of excitement.
I reflected on my semester in this course as I took the final exam in a room as crowded as
Goldsmith library' on a Thursday night. Through it all I believe that Historical Geography of
Jerusalem was one of the most interesting courses I have ever taken. Starting out with zero
knowledge of the subject I emerged with a great understanding of that City of Gold which lies
beneath my dorm building. “Hysterical” Geography, maybe—but I aced that sucker!

The new Jewish Quarter in the Old City is a vital ingredient which adds
to the flavors of Jerusalem. The winding stteets laid with chipped
Jerusalem stone are bound to throw any tiyul into disorder. But getting
lost in the Rova HaYehudi is an inevitable and memorable experience,
adding to the mystery and personality of the Quarter.
Those lucky enough to find their way above the streets to the terraces or
rooftops are dazzled by an awe-inspiring view. The entire Old City is
revealed, with the Mount of Olives, the City of David, and Mount Scopus
in the background. Below, one looks over the Kotel, whose quiet
presence and tragic history overwhelm and mystify all who stand before
her.
Beyond the architecture of the Rova is the distinct human element.
Dozens of children laugh in the playgrounds, mischievously chasing fat
cats or making faces at passers by. Another common sight is a mother
strolling a baby with a handful of toddlers clinging to her or wandering
nearby; behind her, two men walking slowly, oblivious to the commotion
around them.
On Friday evenings, sounds of prayer rise from many small synagogues,
filling the air with tranquility. After prayer the family returns home for
shabbat dinner; and in this meal lies the very essence of the Rova. There
is no better way to acquaint oneself with the Rova than to visit the home
of a family on erev Shabbat.
At the shabbat table, the kindness and hospitality which greets each
guest cannot be equalled. Whether one stays for a few hours or spends
the entire shabbat, the experience is always a unique one. With new
friends and new knowledge of observant Jewish family life, one acquires
a more intimate and complete grasp of life in the Rova HaYehudi. The
love of family and simple devotion to God is embedded in her spirit and is
her heartbeat itself. These distinctive elements woven together make the
Jewish Quarter into one of the most exciting and memorable parts of
Jerusalem. Perhaps it is Jerusalem.

Hiking Club
At 5:00 am we rise, gulp down a cup of Turkish coffee and a handful of cookies, and we are off:
the beginning of the day’s hike. It is almost futile to describe in words all the wonderful events
that happen on a hike—burning toilet paper, bonfires at night, cooking dinner in the open, even
mackerel spread. These are the special pleasures of the members of the Hiking Club. To us Israel
is more than cosmopolitan cities and political debates; the wadis, deserts, and nachals show us
what Israel is better than any bar or any speech. The Hiking Club has afforded us the opportunity
to see what is truly the Land of Israel—beyond the disputes over borders to the shetach itself,
from the mountains of Eilat to the hills of the Galilee. There is no better way to appreciate the
true beauty of this country: there you stand, the sun setting over the desert, at the end of a 20
kilometer hike; your feet hurt but you have a great feeling of accomplishment inside—can life be
better than that? „ ,. .

Mount Sinai—Jebel
Musa
Climbing Mt. Sinai was one of the
highlights of the OSA trip to the Sinai
Desert. As we began the ascent. I was
expecting something of a religious feeling
to sweep over me, perhaps to relive
whatever it was that had swept the
Children of Israel. Well, the experience
certainly did move me. Aerobically. Mt.
Sinai is one of those incredibly steep
mountains, ranging from difficult to
deadly. I found myself thinking of Moses
doing the climb—twice—and as the hike
went on, my image of Moses changed.
When we began, I saw him as elderly,
bearded, in long flowing robes. By the end
of the climb, he looked like a Ken doll:
young, muscular, and well-biceped. I kept
his robes on, though. A Speedo just
wouldn’t cut it.
As the climb went on, the climbers made
jokes. We all recognized the triteness of
our remarks, and wondered how many
climbers before us had cracked the same
lines.
“Gee, no wonder Moses was pissed that
he had to go up a second time.”
“I’d rather make a golden calf than climb
this damn mountain anytime.”
“All this —for a bunch of laws?” And on
and on . . .
We sang songs like “Stairway to Heaven”
through gasping breaths as we continued
the treacherous climb upward. Here and
there, we passed Greek Orthodox
pilgrims, five times our age, out for an
afternoon stroll.
Once we reached the top, our sense of
accomplishment was immeasurable. The
view was magnificent. And then, all too
soon, it was time to climb down. The
climb downward was much easier, even
pleasant. We quickly found ourselves in
the desert, leaving the mountain behind
us. As night fell, it became just another of
the many mountains in the desert
landscape.
Is Jebel Musa really the mountain of our
heritage? We have no proof that it is. If it
is true that nothing that is good comes
easy, however, then Mt. Sinai might very
well be the site where our Torah was
given. Either way, climbing Mt. Sinai was
a feat in itself: for some religious, for
others muscular, but unforgettable for all.

Sea to Sea
. . . And the Lord spoke unto his people, saying, “Ye shall walk from Sea to Sea, from the dawn
until the night, and ye shall arrive safely.” So they heeded his word, and began from the Great
Sea, the Mediterranean, filling a small bottle with the holy water from that sea. By night they
wandered, with only the light of their torches to guide them. Like unto a pack of tourists they
swarmed their campsite; yea, verily did they make camp for the night.
And the talk and idle chatter ceased not there, and the excitement of God’s Chosen was great
indeed. A wandering minstrel from out of the dark forest came, wherefore psalms around the
bonfire were sung. As their father Jacob, each took themselves a stone for a pillow and laid

The Baritone
On Friday, no one goes away for the weekend. No one. Everyone stays on campus to experience
the Baritone. That’s Friday night at 11:00 pm. Everyone.
Students rush to change into their best attire, grease their hair, and make sure to take their
student cards. That’s right, their best attire.
We arrive, smile cheerfully at the anticipating flood of Israelis waiting to be let in on a card, take
them in, and smile goodbye. Cheerfully.
There is music at the Baritone. Rock, disco, new wave. Oh, and funk. How could one forget funk.
So, we dance among the nationalities, and become really thirsty. So we walk to the bar. For a
drink. As we sip, we observe the smiling faces, the sweaty bodies, and the pick-up lines.
3:00 am—the Baritone closes for another weekend. We go back to our dorms, reluctantly, and
dream of next Friday night at this haven of high romance right here on our campus, the Baritone.

Social Committee
l
The Social Committee was quite active over the course of the year. Meeting weekly, the
Committee planned events for all the overseas programs. In addition to a core group that
devoted much time and energy all year, new faces would pop up every meeting, each one with new
ideas for social events.
The Committee organized many parties at the Baritone Disco on campus. The first party had a
beach theme and everyone greased themselves up for some serious surfing action. The party was
a great success and was a great way to splash in the beginning of the school year. For New Year’s
Eve 1988 the Social Committee combined efforts with the Student Union to throw another
blow-out bash at the Baritone. This time, the overseas crew mixed with Israelis. Everyone
enjoyed the great music, champagne, sparklers and endless beers. In an attempt to integrate the
Second Semester students with the oldtimers, a “Post-Purim, Pre-Pesach costume dance was
held, raising enough money for the Social Committee to plan a mind-blowingly huge shindig for
the end of the year.
The work of the Social Committee was greatly appreciated throughout the year. Their
enthusiasm and hard work, ideas and skills helped make life on campus as exciting as ever. May
the members of the Social Committee continue to serve their home universites with equal
devotion and energy.

Joseph and the Am azing
Technicolor D ream coat *
Joseph began in a small room in Goldsmith with a group of seventy people thinking about a show
which seemed light-years away. The next nine weeks of production proved to be the fastest and
most exciting time of the first semester. *
We set off on our production of Joseph with little knowledge of either our director or each other.
As the weeks progressed, Michael Berl proved to be a skillful leader, and the cast congealed intoa
very close, friendly group, working well together both onstage in Bet Hillel and offstage in
Moadon 11. Somehow, we managed to Thinkjoseph and concentrate more than two months of
constant rehearsal into an hour and ten minutes’ singing and dancing extravaganza which
brought the house down.
The nature of the show made it possible for everyone to become a star. The entire cast shared the
stage and the limelight, applauding each other for a job well done.
Joseph now rests on a shelf inside a videotape—and in our memories. The show proved to us
that a Dream can come true through hard work and dedication. Joseph was this and more.
Working on the show created a feeling of togetherness in the cast that will never be forgotten.

Fiddler on the Roof Q O
Take one cast of OYPers, Basp’s, and Mechinistim, add a director, a producer or two, a set
depicting a Russian shtetl, a lighting crew, and a handful of Hasidic hats, and what have you got?
A Fiddler on the Roof, this year’s second semester production, presented by OSA in conjunction
with Beit Hillel. Performed to packed houses from May 29 to June 2, Fiddler on the Roof was a
challenging production for both cast and crew, though under the expert direction of Michael
Berl, it could not fail.
For some two months, cast and crew drove friends, roommates, and each another mad with tales
of rehearsals, while the walls of Beit Hillel rang with such popular numbers as If I were a Rich
Man, Tradition, Matchmaker, and The Sabbath Prayer. Nightly rehearsals provided a chance for
all to entertain and enjoy. Despite the unavoidable trauma and tension that sometimes beset us
in the final few weeks, working on the production was a great opportunity to forge long-lasting
friendships with a talented, international crowd.
Thanks is due to everyone who made the production such a profitable and unforgettable
experience. L’Chaim!

Traif: Musical Crimes Against Humanity
Rabbi Akiba was once asked to list his musical influences. The early Bay City Rollers swiped the
number-one spot, God came in a close second, and then of course—there was Traif. Yes, Traif.
The band which single-handedly redefined the word heresy, rocked the Kotel, and remaneuvered
Jeff Seidel’s moral mechitza four degrees southwards, all in one Omer. Traif, the only ban to be
excommunicated since Spinoza caught Ethel Merman with her pants down.
So what, one might ask, is this Traif? Well, it’s just that. Perennially unclean, non-Kosher, and
definitely not the kind of band you’d want circumcising your first born. Not even with a streidel.
Traif is (listed alphabetically and, coincidentally, in order of progressive vulgarity): Charles
Brettner, bass; Dave Chaskes, lead guitar: Mike Katz, rhythm guitar; Jon Lovenburger, drums;
and Steven Schub, pancreas.
But more than this, Traif epitomizes that very ethical cream and moral fiber which has earned
the Rothberg School its eternal recognition among all great institutions of higher learning, like
the University of Damascus and Nachmud’s Welding Institute on 3rd Avenue in Shechem. Yes,
we have shown the world what five brain-dead Hebrew University students can do with the sole
knowledge of three chords, no place to practice, little equipment and even less talent. Create a
musical insurrection is what they can do. Danceable blasphemy! Succinctly, unjustified
arrogance with a beat.
The very fact that this band, which in America wouldn’t even be able to get work renovating
Scott Baio’s tupperware, can play at every major venue in Jerusalem, win Jerusalem’s Battle of
the Bands, and get reviewed in the Jerusalem Post—well, let’s just say that either there’s
ultimately no justice left in the universe, or God is severely tone-deaf.
Traif, if needed to be understood at all, must first be placed in proper perspective. Traif was a
visual art form. We were meant to be seen, never heard, and God forbid smelled. We never
wanted to be “liked.” Only loved or hated. Consciously, we went for the extremities. Extremely
graphic, extremely provocative, controversial, offensive, obnoxious—all that, yes, but most
importantly, we made you dance. Steven Schub
Cool Breeze
Cool Breeze was a band dedicated to the concept that a bunch of North Americans could get
together and play good music in Israel and still have fun. The hard-edged-fold-rock-bluesreggae-jazz-ska
band, formed by rhythm guitarist Mike Rubin and harmonica player Dave
Pemstein, captured second place at the Thanksgiving Battle of the Bands in Jerusalem, propelled
by Resa Leinwand’s exceptional lead vocals and Simeon Hyman’s superlative guitar work.
Covering tunes by REM, the Dead, Talking Heads, Katrina and the Waves, Dylan, and U2, Cool
Breeze went through almost as many studio drummers as Spinal Tap. Apparently spoiled by
success, the band reached an untimely demise and lives on only in our hearts and in its
“Diplomats for Jerry” Kissinger logo. It was fun while it lasted.

Chess Club
Questionable Humor
One of the most exciting extracurricular activities this year was the Chess Club. Dozens of
overseas students participated, and in the well-publicized tournament with Tel Aviv
University, scores of students, both foreign and Israeli, turned out in thejerusalem Theatre
to cheer on the bespectacled masters of the ancient game.
Several members of the Council of Hebrew University Chess Knights (CHUCK) have gone on
to the upper echelons of Israeli chess competition. We wish them luck, and thank them for
one of the most exciting chess seasons ever at the Hebrew University.

The DBA
Here’s Fred bringing the ball upcourt... the pass goes over to “Can’t Make a Layup” Krell... Back
to Fred ... Gordon fakes, drives to the lane and makes a beautiful pass to Ricky for two. What a
play!
No, folks, what you have just read was not the transcript of the NBC College Basketball Game of
the Week. Rather, this is what the worlds’ finest basketball would sound like if the networks got
smart and broadcast the hottest new commodity in sports, the DBA—the Diaspora Basketball
Association.
The league was created to fill a dire need in the OYP for intramural sports competition. The
league began play last November, but the teams didn’t get much of a chance to display their
talents. Rain and cold weather forced the postponement of many league games, and eventually
led to the cancellation of league play until the second semester.
Upon return from February vacation, DBA brass Jason Friedberg, Mark Robbins, and Noam
Rotenberg worked to create a league that would make it through the semester. Apparently, they
were successful. The DBA became a smoothly operating league, “one that I would be proud of,”
according to NBA Commissioner David Stern. Teams battled to very close games, and the
playoffs were an event unmatched in Israeli sports history. Mark Robbins

Beit Hillel
Hillel is a part of many of our Jewish experiences at our North American universities. Here at
Hebrew U. Hillel continues to play a major role in our social and educational activities.
This year Beit Hillel brought the best of TV news and sports programs to the campus. Major
highlights included Ted Koppel’s special Nightline telecast from the Jerusalem Theatre, and the
CBS documentary on Israel, 48 Hours. On the lighter side, there were free movies every week,
ranging from Superman II to Hair.
Theatre was an important part of Hillel’s programming. They co-sponsored both Joseph and his
Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Fiddler on the Roof, as well as an English-speaking
workshop.
Hillel also arranged for weekly aerobic and modern dance classes, as well as an integrated Israeli-
Chulnik hiking club. These hikers traversed much of Israel’s countryside, from Mt. Meron to
Eilat and from the Northern Negev to Ein Gedi.
Hillel made holidays come alive on campus. Students participated in services and seminars for
many religious holidays. For Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron Hillel planned programs to
personally involve students in these national memorials. These included seminars, a group visit
to Yad Vashem, and a tree-planting ceremony to honor all the Hebrew University students who
had died in the defense of Israel.
Along with religion, politics was the number-one issue this year. Hillel hosted a series of
lecturers, from U.S. Consul General Morris Draper to Carole Pollack, sister of Jonathan Pollack,
to members of the Knesset and of the press.
Through the diversity of its programs, Hillel did its best to involve us in life on campus and life in
Israel. The great success of the activities sponsored by Beit Hillel should motivate us to
participate in the Hillels at our home universities next year.

Nightlife in Jerusalem
Some students faced the fact that shekels were indeed real money. With others, it was only after
a few felafels, a few bus tickets and a few loads of laundry that they were able to put away their
thoughts of monopoly bills. Soon everyone was cutting corners buying the red (under- 18-yearsof-age)
bus tickets, washing their underwear in the sink, eating lots of spaghetti and writing
home for advances on their birthdays.
It didn’t take much time to find that four shekels could get one down to the city and back with
enough to spare for a slice of Apple Pizza or a Carvel cone or a cup of coffee at Sefer V’Sefel.
Museum entrances were reasonable, and walking around was free. In spite of thin wallets,
dances, movies, and parties were all made part of the year in Jerusalem.
Students learned to convert shekels to dollars and back again without batting an eye, became
friends with the bank tellers in Foreign Exchange, and those who truly took the plunge had a
bank card—how many times was it eaten?
However expensive Jerusalem was, it was never too much to have fun. Whether downtown or in
the Moadonim, on Ben Yehuda or in the King David, Jerusalem proved to be the investment of a
lifetime.

As soon as signs of Spring started to appear in March, many overseas students opened up ;heir
Let’s Go’s and discovered Israel’s Riviera: Netanya. Israel's seventh largest city (pop. 110.000),
located some 20 miles north of Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean coastline, Netanya's appeal often
surpassed that of Eilat. Not as far from Jerusalem, and not as blistering hot, Netanya provided
great weekend relief for students beset by the pressures of university life. Netanya’s golden
beach, especially at the bottom of the stairway from the Kikar, was the source of some equally
golden tans this spring, and the restaurants up and around the Midrechov were home to a
plethora of parties and countless chance encounters. Nightlife in Netanya exploded within the
walls of the Blue Bay, Place, and Number One nightclubs.
Walking around Goldsmith on Sunday mornings, the Netanya stamp was usually evident on
many tanned but tired overseas students returning to Jerusalem on the 947 bus. It was good to
know that blessed beach relief lay only an houraway from the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem and
the quiet confines of the University on a weekend. David Alpern 51

"Walk about Zion and go round about her. Count her towers: open your heart to her ramparts, traverse her palaces that
you may tell it to the generation following."
Dr. Israel Roi
These two verses of Psalm 48 encapsulate the underlying agenda of the One Year Program. It is a bridge in time and
space between 3.000 years of the city's history and the inner life of every student who has taken part. Few if anv emerge
unscathed from the experience of crossing the bridge.
This year has witnessed the highest-ever student enrollment in the One Year Program at Hebrew University. Moreover,
most of the professors will attest that quantity has been matched bv a consistently high academic quality.
This 40th vear of Israel's independence has also been a time of concern and soul-searching.
Each of you. on returning from Jerusalem, will automatically become the city's ambassador who must tell his truth to
the following generation. , ^

Shalom,
The time is quickly passing by, and you will soon leave Israel for your homes.
I knew some of you better than others, but I saw all of you change tremendously in a very short
time. This last year was very special for you, not to mention for us, the Israelis. The chavayot you
take back home cannot be taken away, and unfortunately you will find it almost impossible to
share it with others. You are different now, and I hope you will act on that difference.
Never stand on the side. Always be involved, influential and active in your communities. If you
learned anything this year in Israel, it is not to be indifferent. You can’t afford it.
And for those who will choose Israel as their home one day, please see OSA as your base and
support along the hard way.

Even though not all of you knew me, we shared the same experience through the OSA. I’ve seen
you go on hikes, seminars, parties, and other activities which you enjoyed, and I have also seen
you change, growing and experiencing things you haven’t done before. You have become
independent, and more aware of what’s happening around you. You have made Israel your home
for this year, and you can be proud of yourselves for being here, especially now when things seem
more difficult than in other years. I hope that when you go back home you will not forget your
Israel experience, and that you will be the greatest ambassadors for Israel. I hope that Israel
becomes part of your lives and not remain only a memory. I wish you luck in whatever you do and
wherever you go.

Dear Friends,
A year starts and a year ends. From my experience of two years of traveling abroad I know this
bittersweet feeling of coming back home. I believe you’re all both happy and sad now. Those of
you who know me well know that you can call on me as soon as you come back here again.
If one day some of you come here for good, then I want you to know that we need people who
think, people who can ask questions, moral people. And while you’re back home, support us here
in Israel but don’t agree automatically with everything we’re doing here. The year you spent here
we’ve made too many mistakes. I didn’t like the fact that some of you tried to be more Israeli than
the Israelis, as if being overly nationalistic and immoral and insensitive makes you a more
“loyal'’ Jew or Zionist or patriot. Don’t make the mistakes many of us are making. I’m saying
this because I’m crazy about Israel, its land, its honesty, and its directness.
I wish you love, and especially peace, and I hope you’ll be back here again.

I feel that squeezing this unique year into several lines is like trying to get four suitcases into a
room in Givat Ram. So wait for my complete book, it’s coming soon. I’m not responsible for the
rest of this:
I found that this year started with a blossoming summer: like an old wine it became deeper and
tastier as I got to know you.
Meeting you was meeting colors of all sorts, and that was a special opportunity.
As well as opening horizons I too questioned myself about my identity, as a Jew, an Israeli, and a
aja
person. Sounds big? We are!!
I hope that you’ve seen new things this year (like how to open plastic bags of milk). I could have
shown you a charming, shiny country, but my tiny piece of land is full of hard questions. This
may not be enough to fill your picnic basket for your journey back home, but I prefer the right
questions to the wrong answers. ®
Finally, I’ve had the joy of seeing you build your life here, getting to know and digesting your
surroundings, creating a world which you will carry with you no matter what you do: the
memories and the feeling of having created a family in a far away land (see chapter 3 in my book). ^
So, let’s enjoy the things that we can do without qualifications: laughter—and Aliyah?? We’ll
see!!
Love,

Dear Friends,
Saying goodbye after a whole year of being together seems unreal, and this strange feeling makes
it difficult to sum up the experience I have had with you. The whole thing was both a big
challenge and a great chance to meet new people. This year has taken a lot of energy from me, but
what I have gained back is much more than I can describe or express. Exposing myself to great
people enabled me to widen my personal horizons, and proved to me that human relations can
bridge many gaps and overcome many barriers. Sharing your thoughts has helped me to shape
my own views and to raise many new questions about my identity as a person, a Jew and an Israeli
(three identities that I’m very proud of).
I really hope that staying here has contributed something to your understanding of yourselves.
The experiences and the memories of this wonderful year will accompany you wherever you go,
and stay with you no matter what you do.
Thanks for giving me the pleasure of being part of this unforgettable year, and good luck to all of
you! Just rememberthat this little country and its crazy little people will always be happy to
welcome you back, j iove yOU so

Ballad to the Chanich
\ Micky Markovich
“All in all I wanted to drip a little drop,
Because a drop, and another drop ...
Will form a Sea.”
—Arik Einstein
Take care, have fun, and don’t forget us.
You’ve got a friend in Israel.
Love,
Mickey
We met so long ago
When you arrived at B.G. airport
And I was there to welcome you, Chanich and Chanicha
Because I was going to be your Madricha.
My first words to you were:
“Shalom” and “How was your flight?”
“Ma Nishma?” and “Is everything alright?”
And you, Motek, just before falling asleep
Answered “I feel great, todah."
You had so many thoughts of returning back home
After those first moments of bad luck
But in the five-star dorms you changed your mind—
Israel is beautiful and the people so kind.
You have started a new, good, happy life
And everything seemed to be fine and alright.
When the Ulpan was done you chose classes carefully
You had the idea that at H.U. you have to
study seriously.
But you figured out so fast and quick
That you should skip the Academic!
So you went everywhere:
In Tel-Aviv, Yam HaMelach and Kinneret you had so
much fun,
Ein Gedi, Sinai, Eilat, Yerushalyim is what you like,
And of course, the Sea to Sea Hike.
In short, a great student life.
And now, while you’re writing papers and packing
You surely have a few tears in your eyes and a wish
of staying.
Please don’t forget all the adventures, holidays, hopes,
feelings, thoughts, the view, the weather, the
hikes, your back pack. . .
And the people who want you to come back!

sense of activism, involvement, and awareness that we all felt here; no way to illustrate the
feelings that we had for Eretz Yisrael; even to show the depth of the friendships that were
made here is impossible. The best we can hope to do is refresh your memories.
Still, to do even that required an incredible amount of hard work and dedication from the
editorial staff. While everyone helped out immensely, there are a few without whose
combination of skill and commitment this yearbook could not have come together at all. Special
thanks are due to Dani Kollin, design genius and spiritual Zen leader; Leslie Seltzer, artist cum
laude and general workhorse; Stacy Berg, dedicated volunteer and border patroller; Jodi
Dickstein, organizational maven and voice of some reason; Michael Beals, computer virtuoso
and sympathetic vibrator; Pam Stein and Jamie Traeger, filing wizards and peerless labellers; and
most especially to Efrat Cohen, the Queen of OSA, without whose help (and no small
amount of proteetzia) this baby would still be on square one.
While producing the yearbook was excruciatingly hard work, devoted at the cost of sleep, health,
classes, and coherence, it was also a lot of fun, and this fact should not be forgotten, much as it
might be buried under piles of T-squares, drafting tape, floppy disks, and obsessive-compulsive
buttheaded organizational freakiness.
While I m at it, thanks also to Mark Rubinstein, without whose patience, tolerance, and haute
cuisine the yearbook would have gone on, but my personal sanity surely would not have.
So enjoy. I’m going to sleep. Goodnight.

Student Elections
During the student elections it seemed that the worst of the Israeli political party system was
visited upon the University. It seems strange that university students would replicate the flaws of
the party system rather than try to improve upon them.
Rather than being presented with individuals to vote for, the overseas student body was
presented with two slates, one Gilaad, the other Ofek. Rather than being told about the personal
experience and views of each candidate, we were told that Ofek represents Labor’s platform for
an international peace conference while Gilaad represents Likud’s position of keeping the
territories. It would have been far more just to have judged each individual candidate on the
merit of the services and involvement they have provided for the One Year Program students.
It is bad enough that Israeli politics is so polarized. To introduce this same polarization at the
university level seems self-defeating. Ofek can no more bring about an international peace
conference than Gilaad can bring about the realization of Greater Israel. And even when one
insists that these parties address university issues, no coherent, realistic agenda is produced.
The worst problem of the elections is the fact that these four newly-elected students will hold
their seats for only three months. When the new overseas students arrive in August, these four
seats wall be vacant, and will not be filled until next year’s elections, some seven months later.
One hopes our four representatives will rise to the occasion by ensuring proper representation
for next year’s overseas students.
Michael Beals
Ofek
Ofek is the student government party representing the values of the national Labour party. Ofek
has headed the Hebrew University student government for the past five years. During that time
we have expanded the Student Union from 2,000 to 10,000 members. We also have been
responsible for bringing to the University everything from xerox machines to the Baritone Club
and performances by Shalom Chanoch and Yehudit Ravitz.
Ofek was responsible last year for moving the One Year Program elections up from May to
March, thereby increasing the voice and influence of One Year Program students in the
Histadrut HaStudentim. Ofek is concerned with both the welfare of the students and the
national political scene.
Ofek follows the Labour Party platform of a Jordanian Compromise to the problem of the
territories. Ofek is marked by an insistence on the maintenance of both democracy and Jewish
values in Israel. To this end, Ofek promotes the protection of human rights and free speech, as
well as the preservation of the integrity of the Jewish State of Israel. Ofek does not see the
advantage in creating a state where Jewish national identity comes at the price of an apartheid
regime.
Happily for Ofek, the One Year Program students showed their belief in progressive Zionism by
projecting the four Ofek candidates to the student government to strong victories. Ofek
encourages students of all political leanings to return to Israel in all capacities.
Benjamin Rabinowitz
Gilaad
Gilaad represents students on the right wing of the political spectrum, excluding Kahana’s Kach
party. Gilaad is directly affiliated with Likud, Techiah, and the National Religious Party. Because
of this diversity, Gilaad embraces a wide range of opinions without being restricted to any one
specific policy. Gilaad is unified by the belief that those parties representing center politics in
Israel have lost their direction. There no longer exists any clear distinction between Left and
Center political views.
One of our main aims is to decrease national political influence in the Student Union and to
concentrate more on student affairs. With respect to the overseas programs, Gilaad encourages
foreign students to gain as much as possible from their time in Israel by increasing integration
between Israeli and overseas students.
A prime focus of Gilaad’s policies is to prevent demonstrations against the State of Israel. To this
end Gilaad has not only participated in demonstrations against the PLO and Meir Kahana, but
has also fought for the right to fly the Israeli flag on the Hebrew University campus.
Gilaad considers Judea, Samaria, and Gaza to be integral parts of Israel’s future security. Gilaad
refuses to negotiate with the PLO or any other organization that refuses to recognize the State of
Israel, and considers an international peace conference as an unreliable solution that may
threaten Israel’s security. Gilaad believes that direct negotiations with moderate Arab leaders is
the only real hope for a lasting peace in the Middle East.

BASP is not “British and Australians Sent to Party,” but is in fact the British and Australian
Semester Programme, which sort of amounts to the same thing in some circles. In days gone by
the Pommies and Aussies got a less than exemplary name for themselves with the University
authorities. It seems that this year is no exception. The reason behind the crazy behaviour of this
small bunch of people could be due to the fact that they don’t get credit for this year. Then again,
if you ask the Yanks, we don’t get credit for anything.
Our thanks to Yoel Nelson, our co-ordinator (of what I’m not quite sure) and to Andy
Michaelson, our Madrich, who has beemdriven to the desperate lengths of marriage to save him
from these people.
Just how the respective nationals of a former penal colony and the washed-up remains of an
Empire get along should prove a fascinating anthropological study, so we’ve left it to Johnny
“Wanker” Tickner and Julie “Black Hole” Szego to tell each others’ tales. Take cover.

An Australian Fairytale Jonathan Tickner and Zeddy Lawrence
Steve Castan hurtled down the stairs, late for his lesson at the rehabilitation centre.
“You haven’t had your breakfast yet, Steve,” said his mother.
F” * off. Mum!” Steve called back, kicking his father in the bollocks and laying into his sister
with his steel-capped D.M.’s. “You bitch!” he yelled at her. “You’ve got blood all over my
boots!”
Steve had always been a good-natured family man. This was the third family he had gone
through this year.
Just then Mr. Castan collapsed on the floor clutching his stomach, blood dripping from his
hands.
“Sorry, Mr. Castan,” apologized Justin, clambering through the window with an M-16 under
his arm. “1 was aiming for Mrs. Castan.”
“Good one, Jus,” said Steve.
Steve and Justin tunelled out of the house into Billebong High Street to visit one of the infamous
Moshinsky massage parlours. Richard was waiting at the door with his harem, including the
stapled quadruplets—Heidi, Evelyn, Tanya, and Bubbles, sipping a Foster’s and discussing
Sartre’s fundamentalist ideas versus his later existentialist ideas with Professor Grynberg.
“So you’re saying Sartre was a p***y-faced faggot!” yelled Richard.
“No, no, Richard,” corrected Daniel. “Sartre was a man of immense genius as his later writings
testify.”
Just then Jamie appeared. “Hey Jamie, we’re discussing Sartre,” Richard screamed.
“Oh, you mean that p***y-facedl faggot?”
At that moment Mrs. Castan arrived carrying a plastic lunch box containing two live chickens.
“I’ve brought your lunch, Stevie!”
“Thanks Mum,” said Steve, slapping her on the back, jovially, with a police bollard.
“Right, let’s go and jump into the black hole that is Julie Szego,” said Jamie enthusiastically.
Julie could be found at any street corner, in a brown mac, poisoning the minds of innocent
children and Johnny Finn with “colourful candy” and “sherbet” with an estimated street value
of $2.5 million.
“That’ll be $100,” Julie told a sweating Arieh. Steve and the gang entered the scene, and Julie
threw herself at their feet.
“Sorry, Julie, we’re not interested,” said Jamie.
Everyone had become generally bored with life, especially Steve who had run out of people to
abuse. There were still the “Wild Boys,” Ari and Terry, and the Winson mothers, Cheryl and
Donna, and even the gormless giant, Michael Springer. Still, Steve Castan had become a
solitary, melancholy figure. He had never liked the image of a ruthless psychopath. Perhaps he
should have learned to play the guitar like Danny Rechter, Robert Sperling or Danny Block; or
even grow his hair like Richard Lindell and David Goldman.
Steve attempted a transformation, and then thought of Michele, Elbe, and Gadya reclining in
their ass’s milk baths.
“No,” Steve pondered. “ Pillage is far more interesting than Oscar Wilde!”

The British
It was a regular night in Johnny and Jason’s room. The mob began to congregate amidst the
stench of rotting underwear, rancid mucus and other miscellaneous refuse strongly resembling
British humour. Lucy was sitting inconspicuously in the middle of the room trying to read
Johnny Finn’s diary. Johnny himself was watching her intently. Lucy didn’t seem to notice.
“What shall it be tonight, guys,” asked Jason, “poker or bridge?” But the mob decided to be
daring and opt for a game of Risk, a game in which boys can experience the glory of imperialism
and exploitation. They could almost relive those wonderful days of a once thriving empire in
which men were men, women had babies, natives were obedient, and Pakies didn’t play cricket.
Sadly, several were absent from tonight’s gathering. Wendy was hosting a social extravaganza,
Nat was doing the rounds on the Australians, and Jo was experiencing different spheres of
consciousness with her boyfriend from Luxemburg. Leora, Patricia and Louise dropped in
occasionally to che'ck out the progress, but seemingly could not stomach prolonged exposure.
“Johnny Finn, you’re an abortion,” said Johnny Tickner. Johnny was in a relaxed mood that
night, having insulted 8 people, provoked 3 suicides, and caused 2 girls to miscarry, neither of
whom were pregnant, all in the name of fun. He had only one voice of dissension with which to
contend, and that was Jeremy, who was ideologically opposed to “fun” on the basis that it was
prohibited bv Halacha.
“Rhubarb,” said Zeddy.
“W hat do you know about rhubarb?” said Ronny.
“What is rhubarb anyway?” asked Mike. Everyone had presumed he was asleep.
“Well, the Oxford Dictionary definition of the word ‘rhubarb’ is an undefined substance, a
medieval form of political subversion,” said Andy.
“Actually,” ejaculated Jason, “the word ‘rhubarb’ is derived from the Latin word ‘rhubus’,
meaning to rhube incessantly without cause or effect.”
“Well, I reckon you’re a bit of a Rhubarb,” said Lucy, quick off the mark as ever.
David, friend of everyone, enemy of no one, agreed.
The British were clearly skilled in the art of meaningless communication, and tonight was no
exception. Yet there was tension within this merry mob. There was Ben, hard-up bov gone stud,
who made all envious with his conquests. Then there was Johnny Finn, a sweet, innocent
Liverpudlian, currently facing criminal charges for being in possession of tea-leaves.
And so the evening continued. Tickner threatened to mutilate Finn (Finn wanted to threaten
Tickner with something far worse but forgot what he was going to say). Jason and Ronny battled
it out for control of the continent, but it soon became apparent to all present that Robin had won
the game. But by that stage, the mob had grown weary of their revelry and, expressing the formal
grunt of farewell, promptly dispersed.

Near Jerusalem: Life in Israel
A Middle East Primer
Know your Middle East! In this confusing region, policies, personalities, and political parties change faster than a Jap’s
T-shirt in a chamsin. To better acquaint you with the fast-paced politics of this volatile area of the world, we have
presented you with this mini-guide to the movers and shakers between the Mediterranean and the Gulf. The cast of
characters:
Prime Minister Itzak Shamir: Known to his good friends as “Yoda.” Rather short character with eyebrows so thick that
they could easily house a tribe of Bedouins. Not known for his brilliant vocabulary in English—or Hebrew—but can
really get the crowds going around election time. One of the Middle East heads of state who has not said “no” to the
Schultz Plan.
Foreign Minister Shimon “Slim Shim” Peres: This character has mastered the art of the half twist double repeat
somersault when it comes to taking a political position. Rather good looking fellow who has fetched top ratings on
ABC, NBC and CBS but can’t seem to do the same with his Israeli audiences. He would be one of the Middle East heads
of state who has said “yes” to the Schultz Plan, except he’s not currently a Middle East head of state.
King Hussein of Jordan (more familiar to JTV viewers as “His Majesty the King”): Besides working as Sherman
Hemsley’s stand-in on the TV sitcom “The Jeffersons,” Hussein busies himself by greeting heads of state, attending
openings of exhibitions (this comprises 99% of Radio Jordan news reports), keeping out of trouble (except for June
1967), and basically staying alive. He has succeeded in this last endeavor better than any of his former Arab colleagues.
Like Shamir, Hussein is one of the Middle East heads of state who has not said “no” to the Schultz Plan.
U.S. Secretary of State George P. Schultz: Younger brother of famous cartoonist Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy
and Charlie Brown. Rumor has it that brother George stole the text for his Peace Plan from a dialogue between
Woodstock and Snoopy which older brother Charles had discarded. George is known for his perseverance, sense of
martyrdom, and isolation from the Reagan administration’s decision-making apparatus.
Mubarak Awad: In his latest battle with the courts, this American Jerusalemite is trying to get his name changed to
Mubarak Gandhi King Awad, Jr., but Shamir is trying to block the move for fear that it will incite violence. The
character resembles an overstuffed teddy bear. But don’t let your children get too close, because this self-proclaimed
non-violent protester encourages destroying public property, laying in front of bull dozers and eventual armed
struggle.
Yasser “Baby Face” Arafat: Poster child for the Palestinian People and reputed moderate within the PLO, which means
he would like to gently dismantle the Zionist State. An accomplished jet-setter, he can often be seen in Rome
visiting the Pope one day while popping up in Moscow for a chat with Gorbachev the next.
Arafat’s jet-setting serves as an inspiration for the thousands of his fellow Palestinian
brethren who waste away in refugee camps. He would be known as one of the Middle East
heads of state who has said “no” to the Schultz Plan, except he currently has no Middle
East state of which to be head.

Jewish Identity
Way back in October, an Israeli friend asked me, “which do you consider yourself first, Jewish or American?” Before
coming to Israel, my answer would without a doubt have been American. Having by then been in Israel for two months,
I was unsure. I didn’t know which was more a part of me, and I told her so.
Now it’s May, and I’ve been in Israel for ten months.J’ve experienced Shabbatot in Jerusalem, holidays that I never
knew even existed, and the incredibly powerful feelings of days like Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron, and Yom
HaAtzma’ut. I’ve learned more about Israel and Judaism than I ever thought possible. My eyes have been opened to a
world that I never knew was mine.
Israel. How can you live here for a year and remain untouched? How can you go out the same person that you were when
you came in? How can your Jewish identity remain stagnant when you re living in a country that was built by Jews, is
run by Jews, and is inhabited by a majority of Jews—a situation that exists nowhere else in the world. Running around
preparing for the Shabbat weekend on Friday; speaking and hearing Hebrew in the classrom and in the street; taking
classes, lectures, and seminars on Jewish subjects; having Passover vacation rather than spring break. It s a different
world here in many ways— and what strikes me most is that everything that happens here is relevant to me. And it’s
that way simply because I’m Jewish.
I was at my friend’s apartment last week, and we got into the same discussion. She said to me, “after all, you’re not even
sure which is more a part of you, being American or being Jewish.” I smiled at her and said, You asked me that
question in October, remember?
“And what do you think now?
Laurie Goldberg
“Jewish.”

Territories
West Bank Settlement
For the past ten years one of the most popular places in which Israelis have chosen to live are the
regions of Judea and Samaria. This area, from the Jordan Valley in the north to the Dead Sea in
the south and to within nine miles of the Mediterranean coast in the west, now has
approximately 70,000 Israeli residents. These Israelis live in many different types of settlements
and cities. There are many different kibbutzim, moshavim, yishuvim, and shichunot. Jews have
returned to the biblical cities of Hevron and Shechem.
Originally these settlements were established for security and religious reasons. But today more
and more Israelis are moving there to escape from city life. An Israeli “Yuppie” class has
developed which does not like the crowding and expenses that city life entails. They prefer the
wide open expanses of Judea and Samaria and a short commute to work in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.
Although all of the settlements are different, they all share a beauty and quality of life that
cannot be duplicated in any city. The sense of community that pervades these settlements is
something that can never be experienced growing up in a city.
The yishuvim in Judea and Samaria have become an integral part of the economy and security of
Israel. Flopefully the next ten years will contain increased growth for the Jewish settlements in
Judea and Samaria.

Gaza Settlement
December 17-20: Hannuka Vacation
Before I got to the yishuv of Neve Dequalim, I was nervous about the situation in Gaza. But once
I was there, it was so peaceful it was difficult to imagine that anything was wrong. We stood on a
hill overlooking the Arab village, Khan Yunis, where there have been riots, violence, and killing
in the past week. We could also see Neve Dequalim, looking organized and rich, all the houses
the same size, and trees and grasses growing everywhere. Khan Yunis was just the opposite, the
houses barely visible among the shabby trees and weeds. It seemed poor and depressed. The two
villages were separated by barbed wire, and the fence between them was guarded heavily. The
paradox: we could hear children playing on the sand dunes of Khan Yunis on one side of the
fence; and turning, we could hear children laughing and playing in the playground of Neve
Dequalim. We were standing in the middle of the Arab-Israeli conflict, its tensions buried
beneath the laughter of innocent children. „ TT

Suzie Ugent

An Alternate View
The areas known as the Occupied Territories, Administered Territories, or Judea, Samaria, and
Gaza have proven to be a major problem for Israel. Israel has three realistic options for these
areas: annexation, maintaining the status quo, and negotiation.
At this point the territories contain well under 100,000 Jews, and liberal estimates put the Arab
population at over 1,500,000. When Likud took control of the Knesset in 1977, they pushed
for a massive settlement of these areas. Such an event has not taken place. Rather, a limited
number of Jewish nationalists have moved there for ideological reasons and a group of Israeli
“yuppies” have moved in to take advantage of government subsidized loans, grants and
mortgages.
Were the territories to be annexed Israel would soon be faced with the choice of giving up the
Jewish majority within Israel proper or giving up the democratic nature of the state.
By retaining the status quo Israel is tearing herself apart at the seams. Both the left and right are
becoming polarized and many youngsters are losing faith in their own government. In addition,
as a result of the recent “series of disturbances” in the territories, man-power is being drained
from Israeli external military capabilities. Money is being drained from Israel’s fragile
economy, and Israel is losing the battle for world public opinion.
The negotiation option is the most logical of the three. By negotiating “land for peace” Israel
can solve many of her problems. Jewish, rather than Arab labor can be returned to the land. The
IDF can return to a defensive rather than occupying posture, and the underdeveloped areas of
the Negev, Galil, and Golan Heights can be settled by those idealists who live in the territories
today.
The two major arguments against negotiation are based upon religious and security arguments.
Both major ultra-Orthodox political parties (Shas and Agudat Yisrael) have stated that land
can be given up to save Jewish lives. In addition, Rabbis Amital and Lichenstein, heads of
Yeshivot Hesder (yeshivot that combine traditional Jewish education and army service) based
in the territories, have come out in favor of territorial compromise for peace.
As for the military argument, it is leakier than the White House. Israel’s greatest military
victories occurred when Israel was not in possession of territories. More high-ranking military
personnel are aligned with Labor than any other political party. Both Ori Or, former
Commander of the Center and Northern Commands, and Avigdor Yanush, former CO of the
Northern Command, have spoken out in favor of land for peace based on security and national
needs. While there are many problems with negotiations, they are not insurmountable, and
these problems pale in comparison to the problems inherent in the alternatives of status quo or
annexation.

The place to be!
In just five days.
Look what’s happened to me!
Sunday we arrived
It was straight to the kitchen
We were seventeen guys
Who didn’t stop bitchin’.
This small dude from Flatbush
Started yelling R ak Ivrit
Next thing we knew.
Pushups in the streets.
We all wondered why
Little Tami had to yell
Was it Sada’oot?
Or was it Marc Krell?
Bar Ilan paid what?
We paid 50 shecks.
The bottom line is
Which guys get more sex?
Those guys from Chile
We really want to deck ’em.
Those grease monkey suits
And they’re always first at Sheckem.
Sh-sh-sheckem — Sh-sh-sheckem
Sh-sh-sheckem let me tell you what I want from you:
I want an Elite, an Egozi, and a Kinley too.
Sh-sh-sheckem — Sh-sh-sheckem
I want to take you in my arms and eat you real soon
But don’t worry baby. I’ll work you off by noon.
Luscious and delicious.
Boy, what a treat
We’re not talking Sheckem,
We’re looking at Nurit.
Every morning at 7:00
With her wet cherry curls.
The boys straightened up.
Well, maybe not the girls.
Girls—they clean up Zvi’s room
Girls—and in the bathroom
Girls—they clean his M-16
Girls—that’s why he’s never seen
Our group is quite diverse
As you probably can tell
We all stick together, and —
Where’re my smokes, man?”
We’re doing M atzav S h ta y im
For the mighty R abat
While Boyer’s on the can
Doing the Gadna squat.
I
Alan and Jay
tried to scale the wall
It was pretty painless—
Only lost one ball.
We’re leaving with a bang
Cause we’re real tough.
Well see you at M arvah ,
Cause five days are not enough.

My father left Morocco long before it was granted its independence. Most Moroccan Jews
emigrated to Israel, France, Canada, and the United States, but only after the fear of Arab
independence and the end of French rule became real. My father’s parents and their eleven
children made aliyah much earlier, shortly after the birth of the State of Israel.
My grandmother often tells me of the hardship she, as most Sephardi immigrants, was victim to,
both in housing and in employment. They were housed outside of Rehovot, in Kfar Gvirol with
other unwanted immigrants. Even today Kfar Gvirol is still made up of such unwanted
immigrants.
Today these memories are forgotten, and the result of my grandparents’ aliyah is now over 50
sabras: their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
I have always felt alone in America, surrounded only by my immediate family: my father’s family
is here in Israel and my mother s in France. Now that I am in Israel, I still haven’t managed to
reach everybody’s house for Shabbat and, save my grandparents, I haven’t stayed with anyone
twice. Every Shabbat that I have spent with my family has been full of stories, history, joy and,
unfortunately, the unhappiness of parting for an indefinite amount of time.
The One Year Program was all the more special for me, for it meant I would be able to overcome
my family s separation and geographic isolation, while continuing to study for my university
degree. I came to Israel for my junior year to meet my family, and this will probably be the reason
that makes me come back.

Having relatives in a foreign country always makes one’s stay more comfortable, and allows one
to experience a different culture and lifestyle. I am very lucky to get three different experiences
within one family.
Tzipora and Dolek Gat, Holocaust survivors, typify their generation of Israelis. They live in a
comfortable apartment with a gorgeous view of the Haifa Bay. Tzipora teaches sewing in the
apartment, and Dolek has one more year before receiving his pension from an electrical
company.
Their eldest daughter, Ruthy, lives with her husband and their three children in a modern house
they designed themselves in the very westernized suburb of Atlit, 15 minutes south of Haifa.
Their daughters, ages 14 and 12, go to a private secular school. During visits, we frequent
restaurants together and hold large family gatherings at their house in Atlit.
Unlike her older sister Ruthy, Shlomit lives with her husband and their three children in a small
apartment in Carmiel, a small town between Acco and Nazareth. Carmiel has grown too much
for their liking and they are planning to move to Yoralim, a settlement of only 150 families. Their
children all attend the local schools and things are done together in the house.
It is interesting to note that despite their different lifestyles, their homes are always open to me
and my friends, and they would go to any lengths for their American cousin.

Back in London during the Second World War, my dad’s best friend was his cousin Monty. In
1964, after a wonderful trip to Israel, Monty, his wife Sheila and their two children made aliyah.
That is how I came upon having family in Israel.
They live in what they call the penthouse apartment of the Commercial Center in Kfar
Shmeryahu. Kfar Shmeryahu is anything but a kfar (village), it is one of the nicest suburbs
outside of Tel-Aviv with some of the streets and homes resembling the architecture and
landscaping of Beverly Hills, California. Monty is a partner in an insurance firm and Sheila owns
the beauty shop in the Commercial Center. An Israeli beauty shop runs circles around its
American counterpart, offering such services as massages, skin treatments and facials to name
but a few.
Monty and Sheila have made my year in Israel very special for me, especially during Shabbos and
the High Holidays, when I was a guest in their synagogue. They have preserved many of the
traditions I learned in my home, like a nice cup of tea at ’round about four in the afternoon, with
milk, sugar, and a biscuit.

Shabbat
Every Friday in Jerusalem, the already intense hustle and bustle increases as the city prepares for
Shabbat. Unlike any other city in the world, the whole city of Jerusalem publicly expresses its
observance of Shabbat.
The buses are packed with people young and old on last minute errands, especially shopping for
food for Shabbat meals. At Machaneh Yehuda not a single hand is empty. Bags are filled with
fruits, vegetables, pita, freshly-baked challa, cookies, and, inevitably, ingredients for cholent.
The tumult is even worse at the Tachanah Mercazit, where families, students, and soldiers load
buses to Tel Aviv, Bnai Brak, Elaifa, Netanya, Safed and every other major city in Israel. The
crowds of people grow steadily until the mad rush reaches its peak with the imminent approach
of Shabbat. On city buses, people dressed in their finest carry flowers and other gifts, as they
travel to their Shabbat destinations.
Slowly the streets in the city filter out. The last buses are half-filled, and only a few of the
unorganized can be seen scurrying about in town. The Old City now begins to buzz with both
religious and non-religious Jews gathering at the Kotel to daven mincha, kabbalat Shabbat, and
ma’ariv, or just to take in the mood of a Shabbat in Jerusalem. With the buses taking the day off
and businesses closed, the ruach of Shabbat, the day of rest, has been set.

Hanukkah
Here at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, students from all parts of the world quest for*,
knowledge, preparing for future careers and searching for life’s meaning. We, the under-thirty M
generation, carry the torch of Judaism, the light of Israel, and the future of our epic tradition.
Here on the Jerusalem campus may well be the future prime minister of Israel or a couple of
cabinet ministers-to-be. Among the bright young minds here we can find the visionaries who
will lead the Jewish people of the 21st century. With all our youthful impatience and naive ,
idealism, we are the harbingers of a future for Israel. Our idealistic goal should be a utopian
vision of peace, brotherhood, and universal understanding. That, I believe, is one of the messages
of the Hanukkah lights. The menorah candles are not just a shining of lights to each other;
rather, the flames proclaim our vision of light and hope and reflect a dream tempered in the
scourges of history and fired by mysteries of tradition. Our lights are meant to bring warmth and
radiate happiness. Our menorah lights the fire of peace and destroys the waves of animosity. At j
our University, so many different views and diverging life styles are united by a common
visionary light. From Zion shines forth our light, a beacon of faith to all our brethren and a
breath of happiness to all humanity.

Pesach in Jerusalem
Events
My Pesach in Jerusalem was one of my best ever. The first night I went to the Kotel and was set up
with a family in Ramat Eshkol for the seder. While I was davening at the wall, I happened to
bump into Anatoly Scharansky and his two children. It was incredible meeting him during
Pesach in Israel, at a time when everyone thinks of freedom, when he was finally free from
imprisonment in the Soviet Union. But hold on to your hometz, the story gets better.
The next night, while many Israelis were ending their Yom Tov, our group of overseas students
and friends began our second seder, as is done in the diaspora. Beginning a little late at 10:30 pm
we discussed the redemption of the Jews from Egypt well into the night. Everyone contributed
his or her own personal tradition from their home seders, and there were many questions from
those who had never attended a seder before. There was lots of ruach and creativity, and we heard
readings from many different sources; for example, Martin Luther King’s “Let Freedom Ring”
speech. There was so much discussion that by midnight we still had not begun the meal.
After the matzah and all the other delicious home cooked food was eaten, people regained their
energy for the home stretch of the seder. The afikoman was found. Even for those who couldn’t
find it, or were simply too tired to look, there were consolation prizes. Then everyone filled
Elijah’s cup with a little wine from their own, as each made a symbolic effort to collectively bring
about the next redemption of the Jews and of all people.
Finally we sang our many versions of Had Gadya in Hebrew and English, and concluded the seder
with Hatikvah. People seemed to find hidden energy at 3:00 am to dance and sing to L’Shana
HaBa’a B’Yerushalayim—Next Year in Jerusalem. It was strange and very special to know that
we were all here together this year in Jerusalem, and that next year we would all be singing this
song one more time, hoping to be back here, together again.
Marc Krell
Christian Holidays in Israel
For some non-Jews on the overseas programs, this Christmas in Jerusalem was one of our best
ever. Although we had no family with whom to celebrate, we found friends and became involved
in local events, including singing in shepherds’ fields a few nights before Christmas, going to
Bethlehem on Christmas Eve, and having Christmas dinner together. While many missed the
usual Christmas-related events and programs of home, the Western commercialism associated
with Christmas was not missed at all. No Santa Claus, no last-minute shopping. The absence of
the need to look for ways to celebrate allowed the true meaning of Christmas to come through
Easter was also different here than at hom e-starting with the fact that this is where it all
happened so long ago. Instead of the usual church services, one could attend an Easter vigil the
night before, go to the Garden Tomb for sunrise services, and walk along the stations of the cross
For both'hohdays, one had to look to get involved. One doesn’t get caught up in the excitement of
the holidavs as happens at home. Fortunately, there were no classes to attend on either day; that
u/milrl have seemed strange. If one didn’t actively seek to be involved, the holidays just passed by
as another day off. How much one sought to get involved made the difference.

Purim
Purim: Israel s answer to Mardi Gras. While in the Diaspora the holiday is marked by small
carnivals and costume contests at the local synagogue, in Israel it is an excuse for national
craziness for all ages.
Here in Jerusalem the holiday takes on two aspects. The Megillah of Esther, the story of how
Mordecai and Esther together defeated Haman to save the Jews, is faithfully retold in
synagogues throughout the city. Most OYP students found themselves at either the Hecht
Synagogue listening to a creative, musical rendition of the Megillah, or at the French Hill
Masorti Synagogue with lots of families, and OYP students chanting parts of the story.
On Ben Yehuda, Purim showed its secular side. No matter how inconspicuous you appeared,
the odds were strong that you would be bopped over the head with a hammer or shpritzed with
artificial snow.
For those who went outside the walled city of Jerusalem, there was another day to celebrate
Purim. Some students saw the nationalistic spirit of the holiday by either heading to Tel Aviv
for the annual Purim parade, complete with floats, or journeying north to Tzfat for Fchaims
with the Chernoval rebbe and his entourage.

Your name in my hand

I know your name
because your grandson named
me after you—
Yes, your little grandson—
the one your son wrote you about—
he named me after you
You are a part of me
A part of my identity
A part I barely understand
But a part of me all the same
I used to think that all I had to do
was remember
but now I know I am
called upon to act
because memories always call for action
Yes, my father
my father’s father’s father
you do live
And even if I am not sure

I know that I am trying
to keep your faith alive
Not because you died for it

Yom HaAtzma'ut
For Yom HaAtzma’ut number 40 we wanted not only to sing and dance in the streets but also to
take part in the official opening ceremonies. We jumped on bus #26 to Har Herzl with no idea
what lay in store for us. The ceremony consisted of soldiers marching, a spectacular exchange of
the official flags from the Southern to Central Guard, the lighting of twelve torches for the
twelve tribes of Israel, a few short speeches, an emotional rendition of Hatikvah and a
breathtaking fireworks display.
Unfortunately, our words can never express the emotions that ceremony inspired in everyone
there. The whole arena burst with national pride and Zionism. The sense of togetherness felt by
all represented the true essence of what Israel, as a Jewish national homeland, stand for. We
honesty felt that this was our country. We understood what the torch lighters meant when they
proudly proclaimed Vtiferet Medinat Yisrael—for the glory of the State of Israel.

Yom Yerushalayim
In June 1967, Israeli paratroopers entered the Old City of Jerusalem, gaining control of the
entire city, including the Temple Mount and Western Wall. This unified the city under Jewish
control for the first time in almost 2000 years. Each year a national holiday commemorating this
event is observed on the 28th of Iyar. The day is marked by ceremonies on Ammunition Hill, the
site of a major battle, and at the Kotel.
For those of us who are too young to remember a Jewish state without a unified Jerusalem as its
capital, it is difficult to appreciate the significance of this day. Since the destruction of the
Second Temple, Jewish worship and settlement in Jerusalem had been severely restricted. During
the first 19 years of the State of Israel, the Jordanians denied the Jewish people their right to pray
at the Wall. The phrase “next year in Jerusalem” was a plea with little hope of realization.
Today we know that the Western Wall is only a bus ride away. “Next year in Jerusalem” has
become a question whose answer lies not with governments and armies but with each
individual’s actions. For those of us who are leaving Israel after a year of study, Yom
Yerushalayim is a reminder that our departure does not have to be permanent. “Next year in
Jerusalem” can be a promise and not just a song.
Bennett Degen

As Yom Yerushalayim approaches, and with it the 21st anniversary of the reunification of
Jerusalem, conflicting thoughts run through my mind. I am as happy as the next person to be
able to go freely to the Kotel or to the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus. I would never be
willing to give up the Old City, but how can I rejoice when riots are occurring, 18 year olds are
fighting each other in Nablus, the army is being demoralized and the country being ripped at the
seams—in part over the very reunification that we celebrate each 28th of Iyar.
How can the current situation continue? This year, Yom Yerushalayim will be a very difficult day
in our city, which derives its name from peace. Perhaps on this May 15, while some are singing
and dancing and others protesting, we should stop and think what King David had in mind for
Jerusalem, and that the Temple was not allowed to be built here until there was tranquility. It was
not David but Solomon who was permitted to build the Temple, because his hands were clean of
blood. Perhaps that is how we should celebrate Yom Yerushalayim: rejoicing over what we have
achieved while realizing that Jerusalem cannot be truly unified until there is peace.

The very stone of Her body
Is the answer to Her self-distress.
She offers as gifts
Her warmth,
Her strength,
Her maternal instinct.
And we, like children, grow and leave Her;
Carrying a spark of Her
In our hearts
In our minds
In our memories
She reaches out Her hand
I And in it
I I see scores of generations like the granules of sand
So many weekends I ran to the Kibbutz;
] The palmellos,
I The volunteers,
The busride,
Anxious for Shabbes to end.
How often did I walk the beaches of Tel Aviv
trying to find the Jerusalem within me?
The conflicts,
The personalities,
The inner peace,
The East and West combined.
Somewhere buried deep inside Her
Her history,
Her people,
Swept together with a Godsent wind.
Are the hands held as a gentle benediction
Or a desperate plea for return?
And so I leave with her blessing
And the promise of reunion.
You See the Stone in Jerusalem
You see the stone in Jerusalem,
Through eyes of stone you see Jerusalem,
Was it an Arab’s face you just met?
You hear the stone in Jerusalem,
With ears of stone you hear Jerusalem,
You hear clatter in Sabbath footsteps.
You feel the stone in Jerusalem,
With a heart of stone you feel Jerusalem,
You feel only lives of blood and sweat.
You turn from the eyes you’ve just met,
You ignore the laughter of children in the footsteps,
You mock the love that has made these lives wet.
You see only stone, and I see Jerusalem.

Near Israel: Travel Abroad
Let's Go Hell
“Can you point me in the direction of Hell? I think I’m there but I’m not quite sure.” Fear not, we
are here to expose the realities of travel from Israel. Tired of the “freshness and style” of
Berlitz’s Hebrew for Travelers (“Eifo ha Disco, chamud?") and Israel on $25 a Day? We now
offer the realistic alternative: Let’s Go Hell. We make no claim of being able to “guide you
through the seemingly inextricable maze of tasks that need to be done, providing cost-cutting,
practical information that allows you to make an informed decision on what kind of trip to
take.” Instead, we expose the cold reality, the labyrinth that is Student Travel.
To begin your trip: for those who require transportation to Ben Gurion International Airport, we
suggest enlisting the services of Nesher Taxi, the People’s Express of sherut services. Be sure to
go into the office in person the day before and make the necessary arrangements. That way, you
will feel a personal connection with the employees when you call up to ask why your taxi has not
shown up. Get out the earplugs and your Hebrew dictionary because you will be verbally
assaulted and accused of lying, for of course Nesher Taxi was there, waiting for you for a half
hour, and missed picking up three other passengers. Therefore, you will have to pay double to
recoup their losses, if they decide to show up. So, we recommend racing to the Hyatt and paying
60 NIS for the privilege. It’s the fun and convenient way to create a travel budget deficit before
you even leave Israel.
Before leaving the country, Let’s Go Hell recommends making your travel arrangements at the
American Express office with the charmingly incompetent manager, Yitzhak. For example, if
you plan on flying from Paris to any destination, he will make sure you set foot in both of Paris’
major airports before you leave. How can one manager arrange such a Herculean task? By telling
you that your flight leaves from Orly when it actually departs from de Gaulle. However, you will
not be aware of this because when you try to confirm you flight, the line will be busy all night.
Like an innocent lamb being led to the slaughter, you will go to Orly and discover that reality of
Hell. Surprise! Your plane is leaving in fifty minutes— from de Gaulle. This will give you an
opportunity to get rid of those extra francs because the shuttle from Orly to de Gaulle will cost
you 60 of them. But here’s the beauty of it: de Gaulle is 75 minutes away. This means your flight
will leave without you and you will arrive at your destination several hours late. The time will give
you the chance to reflect on the bumbling madhouse that is the American Express office in
Jerusalem. Now wouldn’t you have been better off staying in Israel?

Turkey
David has forced me under threat of Turkish Bath to put down some thoughts about Turkey. I
didn’t hesitate to grab a pen because I know what such a threat entails. In two words David told
me that I better start writing unless I want to stand naked in a strange country, wander about hot
stone floors in small wooden sandals, sit on sweaty slabs of granite and pour hot and cold water
over my head from a plastic bowl, and wait in confusion until a little man with knots for muscles
tosses me down to squeeze every muscle in my body until I moan like the man who climbs the
minaret. For my own safety I concluded that sharing such an experience would be better than
reliving it at David’s hands.
Actually, to return to a Turkish bath is a dream I hope to fulfill, because that would mean
returning to Turkey, undoubtedly one of the most fascinating countries in the world. I had no
idea what Turkey would offer, and each step proved to be a learning experience more complete
than the last. I was thrust years into the past where the greatest products of trade are hand woven
carpets and leather, and surrounded by the friendliest people between Europe and Asia. Do not
be scared by a Turk spending his entire day touring you, his guest, around the city of his origin;
he’ll expect nothing more than a Thank You or perhaps a glass of raki at the day’s end. Do not be
surprised by an invitation into a stranger’s home for tea; it is as common as the sight of a woman
hand weaving thick, colored socks and gloves in front of the Sultan’s Palace.
And this is only Istanbul. As one travels down the Aegean coast, the spectacle of ruins 2,000
years old challenges the imagination to accept the advances of civilizations twenty centuries
gone; amphitheatres so acoustically perfect that one person sitting on the stage can hold a
normal conversation with another 150 meters up on the highest tier.
From that high tier one can look westward to the sparkling Aegean and imagine all of Europe, or
turn to the east for a vision that spans across the volcanic plateaus and sandy deserts of Asia
Minor. Turkey is a country that spans two continents, not only geographically but culturally, the
spectacular crossroad between Asia and Europe. One should miss neither the warmth of the
people nor the splendor and excitement that awaits on the shores of the Bosphorous and the
Colonnades of Ephesus.
Well, that was a mouthful. I’m exhausted. Dave, go draw me a bath, not too hot. Are there any
bubbles?

Dear Mom & Dad,
I have just experienced the Communist world for the first time. Sarah Baker (I met her in Ulpan,
remember?) and I were in Budapest this week. We arrived in Hungary on a misty night, at Keleti
Palyandvar, the city’s largest rail station. The place was packed with soldiers, all carrying Soviet
rifles, and travelling families, who rr ust’ve been carrying everything they owned. There was a big
red star hanging over us all. A woman came up to us, holding a little card. She wanted us to stay
in her house (cheap!). So we went home with her, so to speak.
That was the beginning of our adventures. The people were very friendly, and a few tried to speak
English to us. It sounded almost as funny as my Hungarian. Things were really cheap—it cost
only four cents to ride the subway. Lots of people looked surprised to see Westerners, especially
Americans. Everybody thought we were German.
Some things about Budapest seem just like the Communist stereotype: long lines for food and
consumer goods, endless blocks of drab apartment houses, and a big neon sign downtown saying
Nepkoztarsasag—People’s Republic. But there are some things that are just like home: flowers,
opera houses, big museums, and lots of laughing children.
Sarah and I are heading for Prague next, and we hope to see Poland and East Germany, too. I’ll
send you a card soon.
Love,
Mitch •

Travel Abroad
What to do for February break? Hmm. Europe...nah, too expensive. Israel? Nah, I need to get
away. Egypt? Hey—that’s where I’ll go, but I want to see it with a minimum of travel hassles and
with a large group of friends. An organized tour? Definitely. And so it came to pass that my
friends and I secured spots on an eight-day Neot Hakikar tour of Egypt.
The sun had not yet risen as my fellow travellers and I trundled out of Resnick and made our way
to the Neot Hakikar office. Bleary eyed and tired, yet excited, we impatiently awaited the coach
that would whisk us to the Land of the Pharaohs. Falling immediately into traveller’s torpor, that
semi-conscious state one easily achieves on buses, we soon found ourselves at the border. What
now?
The interminable process of queuing in lines on both sides of the border eventually cleared us of
suspicion and we were soon on our way across the Sinai Penninsula. The pattern for public
relations had been established at the border, and I was concerned that Egypt would be no Garden
of Eden. From Israeli air-conditioning, public facilities, and legible exit forms, Egypt greeted us
with heat, dirt, washrooms the Huns would have been ashamed of, and entrance forms illegibly
printed on cardboard. It’s amazing that a country with one of the world’s largest standing armies
can provide such luxuries for its citizens and foreign travellers.
Sleep. How it easily comes when in the middle of the day there’s nothing to look at. I believe even
Israeli agriculturalists would be hard pressed to make anything grow in the North Sinai.
Then we were on it, that world-famous waterway, revolutionary symbol and front line—The
Suez Canal. Crossing techniques have not improved one iota since Anwar Sadat sent 150,000
soldiers across on Yom Kippur 1973. Our bus was driven onto a small ferry and across we sailed.
By nighttime we had arrived in Cairo, our first stop. Home to at least 8 million—teeming,
festering Cairo! Sequestered in the extremely pleasant Marwa Hotel, the next two days were
spent conquering the pyramids at Giza and Saqqara, the Sphinx, and the statues of Memphis.
Next stop: Luxor. The overnight train was simply fantastic. It was a great feeling rolling along
the Nile Valley into Upper Egypt. The sunrise was magnificent. The sights flew by in a blur: the
Valley of the Kings, Temple of Luxor, and the incomparable Karnak Temple.
Now it’s a bus to Aswan, and on the way we take in the magnificent Temples of Kom Ombo and
Edfu. Finally, the High Dam. Aswan is rich with Nubian culture, Soviet technological might, and
the beautiful Nile River. We walk the streets, shop in the shuk, and take a felucca ride on the
river.
A quick flight back to Cairo and we have one more day to enjoy shopping in the Grand Bazaar and
gambling in the Marriot casino. The trip over, and our cravings for hieroglyphics and papyrus
artwork satiated, we climb into the bus for another long journey back to Eretz Yisrael.

IF / WERE A N EGGED
BUSDRIVER, / WOULD...
yell and be rude.
aim at pedestrians.
take many drugs.
zip off on my bus to Amman.
drive like a human being.
wear a uniform like they do in civilized America,
have a heart attack,
be pretty bored every day.
help the poor Hebrew Univ. students who don’t know any Hebrew
keep the door open when people are getting on.
quit!
drive a bus.
slam the door in someone’s face,
steal the bus and use it as a car.
paint a white line for people to stand behind,
pass out Elite candy,
play with my stick shift,
be crazy,
move to L.A.
smile all day long,
give the wrong directions.
make Americans feel like guests in my country and
exemplify the laid-back, tolerant, positive
Israeli attitude found everywhere,
learn how to drive,
ask for radio requests.
stop selling youth cartisim to all OYP students.
Memories
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN ISRAEL WHEN..
The toilet paper feels like sandpaper
You wait two hours for a bus that comes every 10 minutes
There’s no hot water for a week
It’s 30 degrees and pouring rain in the middle of January and the heat goes on for 2 hours during
the night
You have shmira from 2:00-6:00 am
You wait in line at the bank for hours and when it’s finally your
turn, they close for their 4 hour lunch break
You hear 3 beeps followed by the news for the hour
You can’t get to sleep because someone’s car alarm keeps going off
You’re standing in line at the moadon and Shimon Peres gets in line behind yoq
You try to swim in a body of water and all you do is float
You see sheep grazing outside your window
You can buy a kilo of popcorn in the shuk for 1 NIS
Shil-shul lasts more than a week
An Arab in the shuk offers to buy you for 3 camels
Every car parked in the street has funny pieces of cardboard in the windshield
You can’t use American Express in most stores
The license plates are color-coded blue or yellow
The radio stations sign off with Hatikvah
The doctor in the University Health Services is reading a romance novel when you walk in
Milk comes in plastic bags

Memories
Your New
You start thinking of different ways to kill off the cats.
Pushing and shoving in bus lines becomes second nature.
You bring homework to the Foreign Accounts line at the bank.
You plan your day around hot showers.
You start going to your favorite hotel to steal the toilet paper.
You start calling home only for money.
You have to use a hot plate to heat your room.
You eat pasta or shnitzel every day of the week.
Everything in the veggie cafeteria starts tasting the same.
Kraft macaroni and cheese suddenly becomes your favorite meal.
The library is the noisiest room in Goldsmith.
You wake up early Thursday morning to reserve books for the weekend.
You give your Ffolocaust professor a 10 minute standing ovation.
Radio Jordan News is the only news you understand.
You find yourself spending weekends in Sinai or Egypt.
There seems to be a surprise party for everyone’s birthday.
You complain about the hard toilet paper.
You seem to know everyone downtown on Saturday night.
“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is the hottest show in town.
Your bio final gets cancelled because your professor was stoned by Arabs and is in the hospital.
You pay 8 NIS for 4 batteries.
You pay 20 NIS to get a roll of film developed.
You start asking your Elebrew teacher on a date.
You inform security that there are suspicious bags lying around.
Your Friday evening source of entertainment is watching the Chareidim protest in front of Beit
Agron.
You stop complaining that there’s no ice in your glass of water.
The weather fluctuates from hour to hour.
You wonder when and where the next riot will take place.

Camp Ramah, Camp Ramah-this disease has spread rampantly throughout the oyp

the seaport. Love and Cheesetoasts, Rina
Dave, Ben, & Mark: It’s been great getting to know you guys, next year who will I
have to orgue politics with, who will be there to remind me of my inferior
intelligence, who will Iget drunk with on all major Jewish holidays? Well, I’ll tell
y0U—no ONE: you guys are irreplaceable & Iwill miss you a lot! Love, Aimee. PS:

I understand that you used to love me / Nothing much but it made you cry / Now

Going Home
“Have you been at any riots over there? W hat about the rock throwing—did you see it?” I had
been home for three weeks and I must have heard these lines a million times. I was not totally
surprised. I had come home expecting to have to face reactions to, and in many cases explain, the
current Israeli action in the occupied territories. Yet I was totally unprepared for such trivial
questions. In Israel, the discussion to which I was accustomed involved political and moral issues
facing the country; at home I was reduced to embellishing sensationalist news to regale my
friends with tales of harrowing escapes from imagined violence. So I talked and tried to enlighten
the ignorant masses at home. Some listened; most, however, showed indifference. This showed
me clearly that I had changed. Things that seemed so crucial to me here were not so back home. I
was out of rhythm with my old friends. Returning to Israel I was much more comfortable with
the pace of life, the values, and the awareness and involvement of my friends on the overseas
programs. This is more im portant to me than the creature comforts of North America, for I
found that while I was feeding my body I was starving my mind.
As this year comes to a close and we head home, everyone will have to face this culture shock.
Some will adapt quickly; others will not. All of us, I think, will miss our experience in Israel
immensely. In the end, though, there is a powerful cure for our depressions: our memories. So if
at home you start to feel down, open this yearbook, sit down with a beer and remember all the
wonderful times. The Overseas Programs of 1987-88—the best year of our lives. I’ll miss you
all, and I’ll see you back in Israel.

TAKE US HOME
Whether you're a left-wing Ofeker or a conservative Giladnik, a visiting
graduate student or a freshman just out of high school, we're the best
set of memories you could have.
Did you know:
• You can enjoy a hearty meal of schnitzel, orez, and
chips for under 6 NIS? (See "Frank Sinatra
Cafeteria" under In d u s tria l S upplie rs)
• You can stay comfortably in Jerusalem for under $4 a
night? (See "Resnick" under N o H o t W ater)
• You can swim on the beach and ski in a single day
when visiting ... Oops^wrong book!
• You can ride a bus from Jerusalem to Eilat for about
14 NIS? (See "Midnight Bus" under Sleepless
N ig h ts )
On the Overseas Programs, you probably did!
Don t miss these other LE T 'S GO Guides, which the Jerusalem Post has
never heard of, but would probably consider a hideous waste of trees!
