This yearbook is our greatest collection of mem ories th a t w e hope you 1cherish forever. We tried to<br />

encom pass all th e activities as w e ll as daily routines in order that you may never forget one of, if not<br />

the. best year of your lives.<br />

I w ould th in k it's safe to say th a t w e had no idea w h a t w e w ere getting into w hen w e volunteered to<br />

be co-editors of the yearbook. But it w as w o rth it! — Even though w e did eat, sleep, and breathe it for<br />

the last little w h ile prior to publication. This could best be exem plified by an incident th a t occured one<br />

night w h ile th e yearbook staff w as on th e ir w ay out to dinner to take some tim e o ff from our backbreaking<br />

labour! S itting on the 23 bus, w e w ere stoned, and S haun's firs t reaction w as "If w e get killed<br />

there w o n 't be any yearbook!" Thanks fo r your concern!<br />

S eriously,though, w e had a lot of sweat, tears, laughs, jokes and fu n putting th is together.<br />

However, it never w ould have happened w ith o u t the faith, loyalty, hard w ork and devotion of some<br />

very special and talented people. Darryl — our talented lay-out editor as w e ll everything-else<br />

person,w ho w as m ore like an assistant editor. You've been amazing! Your diligence and devotion<br />

could NOT have been replaced. Judy — your endless hours of typing for us made you irreplacable. You<br />

have been invaluable to us. Jason — w e 're indebted to you tw o-fold. You've put up w ith us<br />

congregating in your room 'til the w ee hours of the m orning. As w ell, the job that you undertook in<br />

raising m oney through advertising really lightened th e financial burden of putting together a<br />

yearbook. M uch thanks m ust also be extended to your advertising counterpart Howie. Your fluency in<br />

hebrew as w e ll as your coercion skills have helped bring in those much needed ads. W e thank you both<br />

for a job w e ll done. Jerem y — your artistic ability shone through despite a more than hectic schedule of<br />

play rehearsals and yearbook responsibilities. Rich (aka "The Rooster") — for your photojournalism<br />

and non-ending task of gathering pictures, as w e ll as ju s t plain helping out. W e are most grateful.<br />

Elizabeth -Thanks for typing w h e n w e w ere in a bind. A lison and O livia — for helping us organise, raise<br />

money and for being editors of th e BASP section. Thank you for your neverending devotion. M ark —<br />

Thank you fo r the UC section. Keke — fo r your support and understanding throughout th is w hole<br />

affair. M el — for putting up w ith my many moods and for your constant support evident through your<br />

dedication to the selling of yearbooks. Hofy fo r helping us out w ith everything w e needed. Toeveryone<br />

else w h o helped including Jonah, Signe, J ill, Tali and anyone else w e accidentally om itted — Thankyou!<br />

W e hope the many pictures and w ords com piled in this yearbook have conjured memories and<br />

em otions — a result of OUR special year together. For w e know th a t no m atter how o fte n w e return to<br />

Israel w e w ill never again recapture th a t special feeling shared by all those w ho experienced life in<br />

Israel as an overseas student in <strong>1988</strong>-<strong>1989</strong>. Shalom to you all!<br />

A Nightmare Journey into Hell<br />

The area in fro n t of the EI-AI check-in counter w as packed. A sm all table was set up in an<br />

inconspicuous corner w ith a sm all sign declaring "H ebrew U niversity — One Year P rogram " as its<br />

title. A fe w parents m illed around here and there, tripping on duffel bags and back-packs, w o rry and<br />

sorrow w ritte n all over th e ir faces. W hat seemed like an enclave of college kids, or post college kids or<br />

soon to be college kids, surrounded the bags. Echoes of "H i! A re you on th e One Year Program ?" could<br />

be heard from every angle. It w as a toast-m aster's w orst nightm are. New people w ould join the throng,<br />

anxious about w here to go, w h o to speak to, w here to sign up, and, most im portantly, w h e re to get the<br />

shekel rebate that the travel agency had prom ised. "C ould you ju s t w atch my stu ff for one second?",<br />

asked one girl to her neighbour in line. She disappeared in to th e crow d in search of a bathroom , maybe<br />

never to be seen again In a ba lagan th a t big it's hard to find the flo o r let alone the closest pee place. A ll<br />

around people w ere supposedly lining up to check in, feverishly putting on luggage tags and sizing up<br />

the q u a n tity of s tu ff everyone else had brought. "D oes anyone know our address over there?", came a<br />

plaintive cry from the corner, "o r should w e put our address at hom e on these things?" The guy in the<br />

Zebes shirt sauntered over to the girl in Tridelt boxers, "W h e re are you fro m ? " he asked w ith a slick<br />

sm ile. "U h — oh, w e haven't even taken off yet and the kosher meat m arket has begun", moaned<br />

someone else. The bathroom girl returned from w h a t looked like a successful mission ju s t in tim e to<br />

realise th a t she had forgotten ju st w h o she had asked to w atch her stuff, and w a s n 't it funny that<br />

everyone else had those same gray-green arm y duffel bags? An announcem ent came over the<br />

intercom m uffled beyond perception, im m ediately putting everyone in a panic. A fte ra fu lld a y 's fly in g ,<br />

and catching connecting flig h ts no one w as in that great of a mood. Bleary eyed and fuzzy faced, hot,<br />

sweaty, and feeling nauseous, only the beautiful made good firs t im pressions. Of all surprises th a t we<br />

w ere to encounter during our firs t week in Israel, the group flig h t started the year out w ith a bang.<br />

Slow er than slo w check in, random security checks (an orientation th a t began and ended before the<br />

w h o le group had finished), hum id ity th a t made faces m elt onto the floor, and disorganisation th a t can<br />

only be appreciated in retrospect; such features w ere sim ply added bonuses in w h a t can only be called<br />

"a day from h e ll". Long lost camp people show ed up, 9 scream s of "O h my G -d " could be heard all<br />

over, and people never to be seen since helped move your bag. A fte r successfully checking us through,<br />

orientating us w ith such w o n derful advice as "N o means m aybe" and "D o n 't forget to speak H ebrew ",<br />

and dism issing tearyeyed parental units, "o u r leaders" pushed u sth ro u g h three more security checks<br />

and herded us aboard EI-AI's Boeing 747. "G re a t" som eone thought aloud and turned to the person<br />

next to him "H o w m uch did w e pay fo r th is flig h t? "<br />

M idw ay through th e trip, 4 or 5 hours into the journey, someone else cracked open a bottle of Jack<br />

Daniels. By th is tim e, you see, w e w e re already a society — a grant "group flig h t c liq u e " bound<br />

together like all victim s of the same tra u m a tic event. Kind of like buddies borne of the battlefield but...<br />

w ell...better. W e knew each others names, w here w e came from , and w h a t school w e attended, we<br />

had all played Jew ish Geography w ith trem endous zeal, and w e w ere all headed fo r the same place:<br />

Givat Ram. We joked and laughed and w atched the ZBT snuggle w ith the DG (the Tridelt w as already<br />

seeing a Sammie) and hit each other on the back like old buddies. W ho cared that half the people we<br />

w ere sittin g w ith w e d id n 't like? W ho knew?<br />

The flig h t lasted forever, it seemed, and w hen w e fin a lly clim bed back into our original seats (come<br />

now, you expected 1 50 college kids to sit still fo r hours especially w hen there's booze on board?) in<br />

preparation fo r our fin a l descent, w e w ere buzzed from excitem ent and fatigue. The jet lag had yet to<br />

hit, but we knew it w as there som ew here, ju s t haunting us. As w e touched dow n a splatter of applause<br />

broke out and frightened faces turned into hesitant smiles. "H ey! W e're h e re ," the bathroom girl said<br />

to her new room m ate and her rem em bered luggage w atcher. W e stepped off the stairs and in to th e<br />

bus, and in the w ords of som e im m ortal w rite r, "The adventure began..."<br />

GIVAT RAM<br />

Looking back on our firs t sight of G ivat Ram (affectionately known as Givat Nam, Givat Scum, and<br />

Shikuneh hakelev), w ho w o u ld have know n about all the ,'fu n " th a t aw aited us! A fte r being given that<br />

5 m inute nightm arish decision of w ho to room w ith , w e proceeded w ith anticipation to get our keys<br />

and find our w ay to w h a t w e w o u ld — or w ere supposed to — th in k of as "h o m e " for the next 7 weeks.<br />

Home? I don't rem em ber having to w ade through puddles at home at the ung-dly hour of 7:00a.m . to<br />

th e "g o o d " stall (the only one w ith a show er head) fo r the inevitable ice-cold show er (w hich, in my<br />

early m orning num bness, never ceased to shock me). The lesson w as quickly learned: a 3:00 in the<br />

afternoon show er w as your best bet, th a t is it w as sim ple to learn for those w ho got up before Ulpan<br />

class w as over. For those th a t actually did get to class on tim e, w e thought w e w ere real troopers<br />

getting into the Israel spirit. How else could th e 7:30 a.m. crush to g e to n to th e 28 aleph be explained?<br />

W as it ju st the excitem ent and " fu n " of studying Hebrew fo r the next — Ugh — 5 hours? Oh, and w h a t<br />

fu n w e had w ith the phones! W aiting in line w hen only 2 out of the 10 phones on cam pus worked. If<br />

they w ere all busy, and you w ere so desperate to call home, you could alw ays make th e 3 m ile trek<br />

across cam pus to those outside th e gate — or you could w a it 'til to m o rro w (a better choice). A nd w a sn 't<br />

th a t shil-sh u l "fu n "? The one th a t no m atter w h a t you did lasted all through Ulpan. A nd being taught<br />

Hebrew — in Hebrew by a teacher younger than me, making me feel like a fool — that w as "fu n ". As<br />

w ere th e cockroaches w h ic h w ere enough to make us w a n t to take the firs t plane home. But, despite<br />

the cockroaches, th e shil-shul, the trek across cam pus (only w h e n absolutely necessary), and the hell<br />

rides to M ount Scopus every day w e made it, we survived, and now w e can thank G-d it's over!


THE BIG MOVE<br />

Septem ber 5th, 6th, and 7th, <strong>1988</strong> w ere d e finitely days th a t all of us w ill cherish. S hikunei HaElef<br />

had been our hom e fo r 2 m onths. A hom e w ith good company, including cats, mice, cold w ater, loud<br />

noise, and excellent m adrichim . Ulpan w as w in d in g dow n and all of us needed to move. The buses<br />

arrived and all of the luggage crow ded th e various hallw ays. Some of us w ere assigned Resnick, w h ile<br />

others chose Idelson. W hatever our destination, we had som ething in common. Our 2 m onths in hell<br />

had come to an end. We shared the grow ing excitem ent of moving onto M ount S copusfo rth e next 10<br />

m onths. We anticipated the close w alks to class, hot w ater, cleaner and more modern quarters, and<br />

th e end of Ulpan. We said "goodbye " to th e 28 aleph, and "h e llo " to the 4 , 4aleph, 9, and 28. The move<br />

w as hectic, but d e fin ite ly w o rth the hassle. I rem em ber locking m yself out of my room after having<br />

already tu rned in my key. Breaking th e w in d o w w ith my hand to get the shirt I left behind is how I made<br />

my mark on S hikunei HaElef. H ow about you?<br />

End of Summer Ulpan: Party and Talent Show<br />

A fte r 9 and a half w eeks of straining our brains trying to learn Hebrew, it w as tim e for a party!<br />

Thanks to our m adrichim , a ta le n t show an end of the sum m er ulpan party w as organised at Givat Ram<br />

Hundreds of Overseas Students w atched the talent show fe aturing: singing solos, guitar players,<br />

dram atic im provisations, and stickm an Dave — the only man w ho plays his "s tic k " in public. Six prizes<br />

w ere awarded to the contestants, including dinners fo r tw o at various restaurants on Ben Yehuda. A t<br />

the conclusion of th e ta le n t show , th e party began. W e danced and partied all night long to the great<br />

tunes played by the Israeli DJs. It w as a great w ay to celebrate the end of our Ulpan experience, in<br />

w h ich w e struggled w ith the aleph - bet. It also put an end to our daily fig h t fo r seats on the various 28<br />

aleph buses th a t took us on th e long haul from S hikunei HaElef to M ount Scopus. Some of us overslept<br />

fo llo w in g the Ulpan Party and Talent Show, but others did m anage to get to class bright and early the<br />

next day.<br />

DORM LIFE<br />

מעונות!‏<br />

In early Septem ber, the Overseas Program moved from the trenches of Givat-Ram to the relative<br />

luxury of M o u n t Scopus. W e had the pleasure of m oving into B uilding 6. W ow , a sink, a m irror, and if<br />

you w anted to you could spin around w ith o u t h ittin g a bed. Life w as set. Of th e ten rooms on o u rflo o r,<br />

three w ere Israeli, tw o w ere Canadian, tw o w ere C alifornian (surfing rules, hang loose dude), and one<br />

room contained our Spanish continge nt (we are ja m m in ' w ith a Spanish accent is the true w ay to sing<br />

it), and finally, one room w ith an Am erican and an Israeli (the horror, th e horror to quote Conrad). A t<br />

once, w e all realised th a t our floor w as unique in th a t m ost of us never slept and th a t th e ground floor<br />

of B uilding 6 w as th e m ost happening M oadon on cam pus. The difference betw een us and our<br />

counterparts w as th a t w e never closed. The m ost com m on hour to be aw ake seemed to be 3 a.m., so<br />

w e com piled a list of th in g s to do at th is ungodly hour:<br />

10. Sleep<br />

9. Do shm ira<br />

8. Have Israeli neighbour yell at you about m aturity levels of people<br />

6. Last m inute cram m ing fo r an 8 o'clock exam<br />

5. Cook food (eggs, rice, or beef patty hand-outs)<br />

4. Play the old five on one (a very sim ple card game) \<br />

3. Sing old camp tunes<br />

2. Phone home<br />

1. Have a "frie n d " sleep over<br />

Since the preservation of fu tu re OYP generations, is th e flo o r's goal, w e hope this list can benefit<br />

them and serve them as it has served us.<br />

One Day You'll Look Back On This And You'll Laugh:<br />

m Your Day In The Resnick Dorms<br />

Everything started w h e n an odd but, alas, too fa m ilia r noise pulled you out of the best dream you've<br />

had since you got to Jerusalem several m onths ago. You w ere having a Ben and Jerry's ice cream that ״<br />

^fo llow ed a plate of french frie s drow ned in "M cD o n a ld 's real A m erican ke tchup" that you ate right<br />

Rafter a D om ino's pepperoni pizza, together w ith an a rtificia l, chem ically infested, glo w -in -th e -d a rk Big<br />

flG ulp (or ju st a fish and chips if you're English, or a Braai if you're South African). You quickly get back<br />

y to reality and realise that the odd noise w as nothing else but the "h a ll-k e e p e r" supposedly sweeping<br />

rth e floor, but really knocking the broom on your door w h ile singing in a language you didn't<br />

^understand.<br />

It's 7 a.m. Your firs t class is at 2:30 p.m. and you really w a n t to go back to sleep. But the diva in the<br />

hall has decided otherw ise. She w o n 't stop singing. So you thought you m ight settle fo ra hot shower,<br />

but you haven't gotten hot w a te r in the m orning for the last 3 m onths so you quickly forget about it.<br />

Of course, you also th o u g h t of asking the e n tertainer w ith a nice sm ile to stop singing, but she<br />

doesn't understand any English, Hebrew, French, or Spanish andyou w e re n 'tta u g h t A rabic in school.<br />

So you drag yourself to the kitchen, w here the sm ell of Turkish coffee makes you w a n t to th ro w up,<br />

open th e fridge and find your bottle of m ilk has been em ptied. Coffee w ill be black this m orning —<br />

again. But, you can alw ays borrow some of your fridge-m ate's cheese, know ing that you w o u ld n 't<br />

have done so if your m ilk hadn't disappeared.<br />

The loud lady left your floor so you take the opportunity to go back to sleep, and w hen you wake up,<br />

you eventually go to class.<br />

You come back in the evening w ith a bag fu ll of G oldsm ith's to ile t paper. You cook the daily pasta<br />

w ith the daily im provised tom ato sauce. You socialise w ith one hall-m ate, w ho in a desperate need to<br />

talk to someone, left his door open. You th ro w a chair at your room m ate's face during a slight<br />

disagreem ent about w h ich m usic to play. You w atch people going dow n the hall w ith to ile t paper in<br />

th e ir hands and you dream about the day you'll be able to go to the toilets being able to sit on the pot. In<br />

short, the usual boring evening. W/l/l/l/l/l/t/l/l/l/t/f/'''<br />

Then you m ight go to the library to get some late n ig h tw o rk done, but most probably you'll g oto the<br />

Moadon, or visit some friends, or hear about the latest Resnick rape. W hen you fin a lly get back to your<br />

room, you fin d that your room m ate is not alone, and the expression on his face tells you that he w ants<br />

you out of there im m ediately. Y ou're homeless! Under the m oonlight, overlooking the Old City, you<br />

think about tom orrow m orning's concerto, realizing you'll be lucky to be in bed at 7 a.m. to hear it. One<br />

day you'll look back on th is and laugh.<br />

THE PHONE SAGA 4<br />

I V ® 1 6 1 8<br />

The tim e has come. You ca n 't put it off any longer; the phone calls m ust be made. You haven't<br />

spoken to your cousins in tw o m onths, your parents in six weeks, plus friends of the fam ily are here<br />

and if you w a n t th a t free meal you have to call them .<br />

The decision is made to dedicate the evening's activities to phone calls. Arm ed w ith phone<br />

num bers and at least tw e n ty asim onim you trudge to building five at nine o'clock. However, the line<br />

has tripled in size since th e last tim e you checked. Also, half of the phones a re n 't w orking and should<br />

your tw e n ty asim onim drop w ith in the firs t m inute the m achine isn 't w orking anyway, as usual. AGH I<br />

Should you stay or take the chance and go to Goldsm ith.<br />

Y ou're feeling daring — w h a t's the point of making phone calls the evening peulah if you don't take<br />

some chances ? O nw ard to Goldsm ith. Yet everyone seems to have the same idea. By now it's 9:15,<br />

G oldsm ith closes at 1 0 :0 0 ‏—־ w ill you make it?<br />

Finally you get the phone; your cousins a re n 't home and w hen you start a decent conversation w ith<br />

fa m ily friends the people in the line start to give you dirty looks fo r m onopolising the phone. A t least<br />

you get the free meal.<br />

A t 9:45, you em erge triu m p h a n t feeling quite accom plished but th e re 's still the call to your parents.<br />

Twelve o'clock arrives and dragging an u n w illin g friend you make the trek to the Hyatt.<br />

You slink past the reception desk in that obvious college sw eatshirt. Upon reaching the phones, it's<br />

a tense situation. Three people in line and tw o of the phones are broken. You're not in the mood — but<br />

w a it, w h a t about the phone dow nstairs.<br />

This is d e fin ite ly your night — no one is there only you and the bezek. Your asim on is safe in the<br />

aperture and your parents accent the charges.<br />

By one o'clock your pockets are stuffed w ith Hyatt bathroom tissues. You leave satisfied w ith the<br />

phone call adventure fo r yet another m onth. By the w ay did you know about the new phone in moadon<br />

THE MOADONS<br />

W ith th e precision of a m ilita ry operation, your stom ach starts rum bling, your hands get clammy,<br />

the cold sw eat breaks out all over your body. The tim e of tru th has arrived. It's tim e to face your greatest<br />

fear. You are addicted to som ething your teachers never told you about. It's 6:30pm . and the firs t step<br />

to solving your problem is adm itting you have one. You are addicted to schnitzel The solution is<br />

M oadon 11 T m inus 10 m inutes. The cravings are intensified. Like th e Pavlovian dog, your salvitory<br />

glands go into overdrive. You need a hit and you need it quick. 6:59 p.m., T m inus 1 m inute, every<br />

ounce of control and se lf-re stra in t stops you from rushing the door like a Mac truck. The desire is<br />

alm ost overw helm ing. 7:00 p.m. As if by magic, the doors open. The sm ell of schnitzel w afts through<br />

the corridors, w ith the subtlety of store bought perfum e. You roughly th ru st your 3 shekels across the<br />

counter for a schnitzel. Nirvana achieved! M ission accom plished! Your craving has been fu lfille d . Your<br />

only fear is T m inus 30 to m orrow


The Suntanning Quad<br />

For most illu strio u s students of the m echina, acquiring a deep, dark, Rio de Janeiro tan is a top<br />

priority. These students som etim es tend to be in the category of the non-drinkers and the nonsm<br />

okers. Usually th e ir basic, BS and unoriginal excuses are: "b u t it's bad fo ry o u r health ",y e t they sit<br />

there and nuke th e ir skin under the sun fo r an hour a day! The more fu n ky party anim als, basically<br />

com ing from the U.S., like to engage them selves in a more thought-provoking and intellectual sport of<br />

"shesh besh", com m only called backgam m on. This b rillia n tly m astered game by all PA's (that's Party<br />

A nim als for you non-everything people reading th is article) brings out th e ir knowledge in<br />

com prehending and calculating the ancient Chinese secret of rolling the dice. Then there are those<br />

gnarly OYP (One Year Party) freaks w ho d o n 't like to undertake thought-provoking games, therefore<br />

they take part in an absurd and ridiculous game of fetching an aerodynam ic plastic plate fo r tw o hours.<br />

Of course, if getting h it on the head w ith a flying disk isn't to yourfancy, then you m ig h ttry m editating<br />

on the law n ju s t long enough to be blasted into the 22nd century by a spherical, black and w h ite<br />

cannon ball being kicked around by gold-flaunting, open shirted, hairy chested "chach-chachs".<br />

A t night, the quad transform s into a com m onplace fo r South A m erican melody makers. Playing 3<br />

songs over and over again seems to be a ritual w here they come from , I guess. Som etim es, it perturbs<br />

me to th in k that they only know 3 or 4 songs, so I contem plate w h e th e r to teach them a new song or<br />

tw o. I mean, you know me, com ing from l_A and everything I could teach them a little about BM W<br />

(that's Bob M arley and the W ailers, fo r you non-everything people, again). But, then I th in k to myself,<br />

w h y ruin an annoying tradition I mean, life in Resnick ju st w o u ld n 't be the same w ith o u t these 3 a.m.<br />

concertos. That ju s t about sum s up one of the many affluent sectors of the Resnick dorm itorial<br />

com m unity.

The Parent's Tour<br />

Like the Jew s of the Exodus during W orld W ar II, these people flocked to Israel in search of the Holy<br />

Land and, perhaps, th e ir offspring. As Noah w o u ld have it, these Jew s descended off the EL AL arc<br />

b u ilt for the skies — m ost of them in tw osies. Their jo u rn e y w o u ld take them to the Hyatt hotel f t our<br />

m ortal im age of Heaven above — w h e re they w o u ld fin d th e ir poor, starving college students anxiously<br />

aw aiting th e ir arrival and th e ir pocketbooks.<br />

The m ission of these parents w o u ld be to see as m uch of Israel as possible in 10 days, feed th e ir<br />

loved ones, and to stay fa r aw ay from the roach infested, oversized w a lk-in closets th e ir kin are forced<br />

to inhabit. To th e good fo rtu n e of the students, th e ir parents w ere given each night o ff from th e ir<br />

rigorous day of touring, only to invade the best possible dining establishm ents in Jerusalem . To a *k<br />

young, am bitious student, like myself, alw ays lo o kin g fo r w ays to exploit the weaknesses ofthose w ho<br />

have provided fo r me fo r 21 years, these tw o weeks w ere heaven on earth. W ho am I to disappoint my 3Tj.<br />

father w h e n he insists on eating w e ll on HIS vacation. HIS vacation, huh? W ho is he kidding?<br />

The "parent to u r" allow ed the parental units to seethe Holy Land, reaquaint them selves w ith th e ir<br />

children, and meet other parents w h o could em pathize w ith the pain and agony of not seeing th e ir<br />

children's bright, shining faces for an entire year.<br />

Before I conclude, I m ust make an author's note and address the hospitality of the Hyatt hotel. For if<br />

it w e re n 't fo r these overseas parents, the hotel w ould have been renovated and turned into<br />

Jerusalem 's firs t bow ling alley w ith 2 5 0 lanes to choose from .<br />

FOOD<br />

o<br />

O<br />

If you're like me and don't appreciate those long m akolet lines, the hike up to Supersol or the zoo<br />

atm osphere in M achane Yehuda, the Hebrew U niversity is the place fo ryou. Scattered w ith a num ber<br />

of fin e eating establishm ents, Hebrew U niversity's snack bar, cafeterias and restaurants w ill satisfy<br />

the heartiest appetite.<br />

The m orning is the hardest tim e of day. But not to fear, G oldsm ith's eat and run snack bar w ill get<br />

you off to a golden day. O ffering one of Israel's fin e st selections of danishes, w ith a huge assortm ent of<br />

yoghurts, artics, fru it drinks and cheese toasts, G oldsm ith snack bar w ill put the colour into your<br />

drabby m orning of Hebrew.<br />

Lunchtim e, th e heat of the day , and the hunger sets in once again. There are four fu lly equipped<br />

cafeterias on cam pus, Veggie, th e one next to th e library, Education and the Famous Frank Sinatra.<br />

Located ju s t o ff Nancy Reagan Square, Franks is th e place to be. A ttra ctin g all of OYP and M echina's<br />

je t setters w h o have a taste for good food and good company, all th is fo r only a measly 5.90 shekel. It's<br />

w ell w orth it.<br />

It's been a long hard day and the last th in g th a t's on your m ind is w a itin g in line to use the trickle of<br />

gas your stove has to offer. The thing to do is get all your left over change together to raise 3 shekels.<br />

Then make your w ay over to one of the tw o moadons in Resnick. For 3 shekels you can purchase a<br />

schnitzel w ith your choice of salads. But it doesn't stop at schnitzel, you have the choice of basically<br />

anything th a t can fit into a pita. From eggs all the w ay to falafel.<br />

You can get three square meals a day, fo r the low price of 12 shekels. If it's food you desire, Hebrew<br />

U niversity can supply your every need.<br />

DINING OUT<br />

It is a Thursday afternoon, you have ju s t fin ish e d your last class. You k n o w th a t in the m orning you<br />

are going to Haifa fo r the w eekend, so you have no food for dinner. You make plans w ith som efriends<br />

to m eet at th e bus stop at 8 o'clock to go out fo r dinner. A t 8:30 you get into tow n, look at each other and<br />

ask the question every OYPer asks — W here do you w a n t to go fo r dinner? In A ugust the choices<br />

seemed endless; O ff the Square (Dairy or Meat), Primos, Yem enite Step, A lum a, Tea and Pie, etc. By<br />

A pril, the choices have narrow ed dow n due to lack of funds and the realisation th a t every restaurant in<br />

th e city serves the sam e dishes. Since very fe w people can afford m eat dishes, your choices are<br />

narrow ed dow n to Primos, O ff the Square, or A lum a. I have spent m any a Thursday night at Primos<br />

debating over m allaw ach w ith m ushroom s or m allaw ach w ith olives and cheese. O f course, w e all<br />

m ust make the ultim ate decision of paying 25 agorot for a roll w ith garlic butter or being extrem ely<br />

cheap and forgoing the roll claim ing th a t at O ff the Square rolls and salad are included w ith the meal.<br />

H ow w as last night? W here did you go? -The Underground, The Tavern, Champs? Jerusalem<br />

n ig h tlife bow ls me over once again. It's not ju s t the variety of places th a t astounds you — but the<br />

people th a t you can so easily become acquainted w ith in them -yes, you guessed it, those delicious’<br />

chach-chacs. How can they be described? A fe w adjectives th a t spring th e m ind may be handsome,<br />

w itty , aloof, sophisticated- but no! If these are th e w ords on your lips you m ust eith e r be deranged or so<br />

drunk th a t your brain has tu rn e d to mush.<br />

Falafels- w e've tasted them all- ye llo w ones, green ones, brow n ones. W e're not quite sure<br />

w h e th e r its the ingredients th a t make them th is colour. On closer inspection,-it seems m ore likely to be<br />

th e 'h a n d s of man serving these delicious treats w h ic h colour th e falafels so pleasantly.<br />

A n o th e r popular student haunt is "C heesecake". However, the size of the ow ner alw ays serves as .<br />

\ . * ׳ there. a w a rn in g against too m any visits<br />

The cinem a can be described as an e x p e rie n ce E E s in the w a tching of the film th a t w e enjoy, or \<br />

listening to the Israelis? In England people tend to w h isper in the cinem a, and it is ever quite usual to<br />

w a tch the film — but no Israelis have found a new form of film w atching. This consists of talking<br />

contin u a lly thro u g h o u t the film and fu ll critism of w h a t's going on, and a general getting up and<br />

w andering around a n y tim e you feel like it. Yes, I really enjoy having to stand up every five m inutes so<br />

th a t som eone can get by. But alw ays at the most crucial m om ent up come th e lights, and our rush 200<br />

Israelis fo r th e interval.<br />

Transportation in Jerusalem — it s till amazes me how consistently good natured and happy the bus<br />

drivers in Jerusalem are. They are alw ays so w illin g to hand over a red bus card — and seem oblivious<br />

to th e fact th a t half the students at the Hebrew U niversity are 17 years old. But nothing beats a<br />

Jerusalem taxi — th e taxi drivers head on collisions. W hat is the most com forting is the w ay that they<br />

1 enjoy tu rn in g around w h ile driving and having a conversation w ith those backseat passengers, it<br />

' makes you feel really safe. *.<br />

But d e fin ite ly the best part of Jerusalem n ig h tlife is com ing hom e to bed.<br />

TRANSPORTATION<br />

The night is young. The air is brisk. The bus stop is crowded. Like a trader on the stock exchange,<br />

you are barraged w ith num bers. So many num bers: 26, 4 aleph, 28, 23 aleph, 23 bet, 23 gim el, 23<br />

daled... yet the 9 bus is now here. You consider succum bing to the 4 aleph-Nope, too slow. The 23;<br />

Nope, too dangerous. You w ait.<br />

The night is m iddle-aged. The air — very cold. The bus stop drips icicles on unsuspecting Egged<br />

passenger w anna-be's. They ju m p as each bus tu rn s left from the University. They sit w hen the 9 bus<br />

is not found.<br />

The night w ould be past its sexual prim e, if nights had them . Finally, as if answ ering unspoken<br />

prayers, she comes — long, slender, beautiful. The doors open w ith a thum p. A fte r a squeeze w hich<br />

w o u ld make British soccer fans feel like sardines, you make it into the foyer of the Egged Luxury Liner.<br />

A frie n d gives you the sign and you face the man at the w heel and clear your throat. W ith cartis in<br />

hand, you utter a single w ord — pa'am ayim . The travellers in the coach cease th e ir petty<br />

conversations, adm iring your com m and of th e ir tongue.<br />

By the tim e the bus passes the Hadassah and Hyatt stops, the night is “ over the h ill". Am erican<br />

university sw e a tsh irts fill the aisles. You think for a second that you hear a w ord of Hebrew being<br />

spoken in the bus — you are w rong. You are not in Israel now, you are in SUNY Bingham ton. Yet, still<br />

you w a n t to speak Hebrew. Ulpan flashcards appear before your eyes. Foods, colours, n u m b e rs^- no,<br />

not them . Songs begin to play in your ears — Shalosh Pinot — NO! So you say it in English — "Pardon<br />

me sir, your Golane Bet-47 A utom atic A ssault Rifle is in my nostril — could you double check the<br />

safety...Please."<br />

The bus pushes on. So does the night. W hen the fa m ilia r sight and sm ells of the Ben Yehuda<br />

d istrict are encountered, the shoving begins anew. The last bus leaves in 15 m inutes. Grab a brew.<br />

The night is gone.<br />

The 9 Line on King George<br />

It's 11:45 p.m. on a given evening. You have ju st drank a fe w beers at Champs and eaten dessert at<br />

Cheesecake. You are tired and begin w alking dow n Ben Yehuda to make your w ay to the num ber 9 bus<br />

stop. As you w a lk to th e station, you see a mob of Overseas Students ju st as intoxicatea as you. You<br />

feel hungry and decide to go to Richie's Pizza and mooch a free piece of pizza before they close the<br />

shop. You w alk back to the bus stop and reach into your pocket to fin d your red student bus ticket for<br />

those 17 and under. The buses pass, but none seem to be num ber 9. M eanw hile, more Overseas<br />

Students arrive at the bus stop. You talk w ith friends w earing an assortm ent of college sw eat shirts. At<br />

last, the num ber 9 bus approaches and you accom pany the other students onto the bus. The driver<br />

punches all th e red tickets and closes th e door quickly before driving like a m aniac to M ount Scopus.<br />

You get o ff at th e dorm s and go home. It's too bad the night had to end so soon. You dream about<br />

to m orrow night w hen you w ill take the num ber 9 again. Maybe next year Egged w ill have a bus line at<br />

1 2:15 a.m. only for Overseas Students, w ho are the only ones w ho ride the bus. Suddenly, your alarm<br />

goes o ff and you prepare yourself for another day of class at Goldsm ith. But, your red bus ticket is w ith<br />

you at all tim es — ju s t in<br />

O K,it's Friday night, you have no food, the m akolet is closed, all your relatives are sick of seeing<br />

your face. There is only one option left — think of J e ff Seidel and start hum m ing "D a-da-da־da dadlada-da<br />

da-da-da-da dadla-da-da"...(hum m ed to the annoying tune of Siskel and Ebert's "A t the<br />

M ovies".)<br />

— Hi, I'm Gene.<br />

— Hi, I'm Roger and w elcom e to another edition of "A t the F am ilies" w here I and my, ahem, slightly<br />

less esteemed colleague, Gene, review a host of great new places to enjoy Friday nights in<br />

Jerusalem !<br />

That's right! Roger my,uh... ju n io r affiliate, w ill start o ff to n ig h t's selection of fa m ilie s you could ־־־«;‏<br />

get hooked up w ith if you go to the Kotel and m eet a certain short, balding gentlem an fu ll of<br />

converting zeal.<br />

— O ur firs t fa m ily of the night is the Sterns, w here nestled deep in Mea Shearim , you get a<br />

w o n d e rfu lly fillin g meal w ith ju st the right am ount of religious content in the night's conversation.<br />

— W ell, I'll have to disagree w ith you on th is one Roger. I found the religiosity of the evening far too<br />

im posing, alm ost as if they w ere trying to convert me. A ll in all, I'm afraid I'll have to give th is one a<br />

thum bs down. In any case, on to our next house w h ere the fa m ily provides a tin y enclave of North<br />

Am erica in Israel, the Ellis fam ily.<br />

That's right Gene, one gets a definite feel of North A m erican c u ltu re from th e food (a good 8 on my<br />

scale) to the interesting discussions on w h a t's new back home in Chicago from everyone's<br />

favourite oleh. I don't th in k you'll disagree w ith me on th is one w hen I give them a definite thum bs<br />

up!<br />

— A ctu a lly I to ta lly disagree w ith you on th a t one Roger, I guess I ju s t don't have such a loveforfood.<br />

O ur next house is th a t of G uru Gil, th a t infam ous host w h o spun his w ay from being a successful<br />

estate m anager to India to Israel and fin d in g religion. He provides a host of in triguing topics to<br />

discuss over a fa irly good meal (as long as you insist you w ill eventually m arry a Jew , of course).<br />

O verall I give it an 8 fo r a w o n derful evening.<br />

— Look Gene, you can't seem to get anything right tonight, so don't even bother to com m ent on the<br />

next fam ily. Hell, even your haircut is all messed up, and th a t's not easy for someone w ith so little<br />

hair!<br />

— Look Roger, I w o u ld n 't go insulting people until you lose enough tonnage to bring you down to<br />

norm al w e ig h t! [censored] there are other reasons fo r going to a fa m ily than eating the food you<br />

know !<br />

— Oh yeah, like what?<br />

— W ell, uh... there's...<br />

— Thank you very m uch ladies and gentlem en for jo in in g us to n ig h t and w e hope th a t in the fu tu re<br />

w hen you fin d yourself w ith the urge for good food...<br />

SURVEY<br />

You can't say one year party students a re n 't am bitious. A lthough m any sim ply hope to be law yers or<br />

professors, some aspire to m uch more — "w o rld class eate r", "co n tro lle r of the w o rld ", "king of<br />

A m e rica", and even a "ro c k -n roll־ sta r". Then, there's the guy from Chicago w h o ca n 't decide w h e th e r<br />

to be a cantor or a bouncer. And, of course, the m an from Ham ilton w h o looks forw ard to a career as a<br />

"food producer of pickled p roducts" (who could that be?). A ccording to our survey, the Cavern is the<br />

best bar in Jerusalem , w ith Champs and th e Rock tra ilin g close behind — and Club 11 for the cheapest<br />

beers. For lunch on cam pus "V e g g ie " got the most votes, w ith Frankie's a fe w behind (sorry, Rooster).<br />

W hen w e asked w hich restaurant to go to w ith your parents, w e com piled a list of th e most expensive<br />

restaurants in Jerusalem — M am m a M ia's, and O ff the Square topping the list. A nd the best places for<br />

dessert w ere: D on't Pass me By, Cheese Cake, and Sefer ve Sefel. W hen it comes to boring classes,<br />

alm ost every class offered th is year w as m entioned at least once, but Hebrew took firs t place. For most<br />

interesting class, there w as a 3-w ay tie between Foreign Policy, A m erican — Soviet Rivalry, and<br />

Holocaust. M edzini and M ankow itz took best professor, w h ile Israeli w as o verw helm ingly the w orst.<br />

By far, the most popular th in g to cook in the dorm s w as pasta, follow ed by chicken and stir-fry. The cats<br />

hanging outside the dorm s w ere also m entioned as a culinary delight. Em ily tied w ith the Hyatt fo r best<br />

place to get a haircut (tim e to raise your prices, Emily!), although many advised against getting a<br />

haircut in th is country at all. The best source of to ile t paper appropriation, w h ich m any of us have spent<br />

m ost of the year researching, w as d e fin ite ly G oldsm ith. The cheapest th in g to order at the Hyatt<br />

(another im portant topic of study) is either w ater (from the tap) or the chocolate chip cookies from the<br />

bar. The Hyatt is, by far, th e best place to phone from . Our m ouths started w a te rin g at the list of food<br />

m ost m issed from hom e: Hagan Daaz, pepperoni pizza, real deli sandw iches, bagels and lox, M & M 's,<br />

steak, Big Macs, E ntem an's doughnuts, K raft Mac and Cheese, M exican and Chinese food. M ost<br />

people th o u g h t the toga party w as the best party of th e year (thanks to Rich and Shaun), w ith th e OYP<br />

opening party pretty close behind (those of us w ho rem em ber much). W e're really w orld travellers —<br />

16 countries w ere m entioned as the best vacation spot outside of Israel. S urprisingly, Sinai and Turkey<br />

w ere the favourites. The favourite place to go for a weekend w as Sinai, again, follow ed by Tiberias,<br />

Eilat, and a relative's house. A nd the academ ically oriented group th a t w e are, more than 50% of us<br />

studied less than one hour a week. But, then again, classes really did seem to get in the w ay of our<br />

education. Finally, th e most annoying thing about Israel and Israelis: most of the girls w ho responded<br />

though t Israeli men and th e ir pick-up lines and cat-calls w ere the w drst. O ther com plaints w ere the<br />

Israelis' im patience and im politeness, the banks, the phones, the cockroaches, the Hebrew language,<br />

and th e fact the "Isra e lis d on't give you your change in your hand... alw ays on th e co u n te r." But, we<br />

m ust apologise fo r neglecting to include the best thing about Israel and Israelis. It w as a a m ajor<br />

oversight. As w e all know , Israel has many w o n derful th in g s to offer. One OYPer expressed his<br />

thoughts w e ll: "I'm kosher and in Israel I can go out to eat anyw here. It may sound trivia l, but I th in k it's<br />

great. Israel makes me feel at hom e."<br />

M y Encounter with OYPers<br />

W ritin g an article in English w h e n it's not your m other tongue is rather d ifficu lt. I am from Belgium ,<br />

and study as a regular student, at Hebrew U niversity. The firs t week that I w as here I fe lt quite lost,<br />

especially w hen I heard and saw the One Year Program people. A ll I heard was ' ,Hey, w h a t's up?" I<br />

really d id n 't understand w h a t w as going on. I looked all around to see w h a t w as up, but there w as<br />

nothing there. I co u ld n 't believe how loud they were, and I fe lt very intim idated. I th o u g h t "O h my G־d.<br />

W ill I have to deal w ith these people all year? W ell, ye a h ." I w as kind of trapped and I had no choice. So I<br />

told m yself th a t I w o u ld try to make the best of it, and to my surprise, it really turned out to be fantastic.<br />

M ost of my frie n d s now are on the OYP, as w e ll as my w o n d e rfu l boyfriend (the editor). I learned so<br />

m any new th in g s and my English has im proved incredibly. Now I go around shouting "Hey, w h a t's<br />

up?" w ith o u t th in kin g th a t it's strange. As tim e goes on, the more th a t I hang out w ith the One Year<br />

people the more I enjoy it. It's a great experience and there is nothing of th is year th a t I regret.<br />

Canadians Speak Out!<br />

I Are you Am erican?... W here do you live in th e U.S.?... These are ju s t tw o of the naive questions<br />

Iisked by most people of Canadians. Canada is not the 51 st state, it is not "little A m e rica" in igloos, and<br />

t is not just "The G reat W h ite N orth". Canada is a land of diversity, a country that prom otes m ulti-<br />

:ulturalism and has its ow n designer labels — Roots, Club Monaco, and Beaver Canoe!!! During the<br />

jo u rs e of the OYP, the Canadians have made it th e ir business to stand out and be heard. M any of the<br />

ditors of th is yearbook are Canadian. Toronto is one of the most represented city on the program.<br />

These are ju s t tw o of m any statistics to support the case; although all Canadians are not bilingual,<br />

Canada is a bilingual country. Canada is one North Am erican country th a t recognises th a t people in<br />

■his w orld really do speak languages other than ju st English. The easy w ay to tell a Canadian product<br />

*rom an A m erican is to sim ply seeing w hich has the w ritin g in both English and French. M any great<br />

lelebrities have th e ir roots in Canada: M ichael J. Fox, W ayne Gretzky, W illia m "C aptain K irk"<br />

shatner, and the renow ned Dr. M. Nisan. Sure Canada has its problem s — acid rain, courtesy of our<br />

Neighbours to th e south, draft dodgers from the U.S. A rm y at the first sign of conscription to name, a<br />

(8w, but w e are sure to overcom e th is in the fu ture. The next tim e you're thinking of an alternative in<br />

!acation spots, consider encountering th is Canadian experience — a land of bustle, beauty, and<br />

TOGA<br />

The night of October 20th was a quiet night in the dorm itories of Hebrew University. A ll students<br />

w e n t to sleep as usual, expecting to wake up and face another autum n day in Jerusalem . But, October<br />

21 st w o u ld be a d iffe re n t day for these students. Little did they know th a t there w as som ething lurking<br />

in the halls th a t night that w ould change the young innocent lives of these Overseas Students.<br />

The m orning of October 21 st arrived. The w a lls of Resnick told th e story. Signs plastered all over<br />

them reading: Toga Party, October 27th, Tim e 9:37 p.m. ALL THE BEER YOU CAN DRINK. 5 shekels in<br />

toga, free if nude.<br />

No one could believe it after 4 m onths — a real party! Two young men know n to th e irfrie n d s as Rich<br />

and Shaun took it upon them selves to invest th e ir parents' money in 350 litres of beer.<br />

The night fin a lly arrived. The scene w as set. A live band, kegs flo w in g w ith beer, and lots of people<br />

ready to get sick and vom it everywhere.<br />

The rest, my friends, is history. There are m a n y accounts of th e g o in g ons a tth is p a rty,b u t th e tru th<br />

w ill never be know n. An innocent bystander said he could hear and sm ell the beer up in French Hill.<br />

O thers say that the party w as the best ever m aking A nim al House look likea Sunday m orning brunch.<br />

Rich and Shaun made history on O ctober 27th, <strong>1988</strong>, and repeated th is on New Year's Eve,<br />

changing the m eaning of the w ord "p a rty " at Hebrew University.<br />

NEW YEAR'S<br />

EVE<br />

Capitalism ! One of m an's greatest successes. C ontrary to popular belief, it is one of the greatest<br />

m otivating factors in today's society. It has propelled hundreds o f students to travel overseas, pursue<br />

an education, and, of course, seek out the biggest party possible.There are tw o kinds of people in this<br />

w orld: those w h o continuously search, and those w ho provide. M y close associate, Shaun Kobrin, and<br />

I are am ong the latter.<br />

W ith th e assistance of a little plastic credit card, w e th in k BIG and strive for excellence. New Year's<br />

Eve is the greatest party night of the year and provides the greatest opportunity fo r tw o young<br />

entrepreneurs looking to supply e ntertainm e nt fo r overseas students desperately seeking a good tim e<br />

w ith the greatest am ount of beer. Students found refuge in M oadon 18 from the longing<br />

hom esickness w e all w e n t through as our other friends w ere home celebrating. Like birds going South<br />

for the w in te r, 300 students flocked to building 18, only to be transform ed into drunk, bum bling fools.<br />

Never have I realised the value people hold fo r "A ll the beer you can d rin k". Of course, it w as not New<br />

u, Year's at home, but w e made our best attem pt to create an atm osphere very sim ilar to th a t of a New<br />

Year's party abroad.<br />

Apple Pizza, located in the midst of the bustle of downtown Jerusalem .<br />

It's a pleasant place for pizza served w ith egg, tuna, anchovies, olives,<br />

served "Am erican style" — efficiently, quickly and in a relaxed fashion.<br />

The personnel is almost exclusively New York Jewish. An excellent<br />

As the year draw s to its close, the student tries to redefine for him self his place vis-a-vis the eternal<br />

and the tem poral dim ensions of Jerusalem : kaleidoscope, cosmopolis, foundation stone of creation;<br />

and above all focal point of th e Jew ish experience,.<br />

I w ish you success in this d iffic u lt task.<br />

A round the w orld local alum ni associations are being set up for graduates of the <strong>Rothberg</strong> School<br />

programs. W e hope you w ill continue to see yourself as part of th e Hebrew U niversity fam ily and w ish<br />

W ith o u t a doubt, the pleasure of serving students from so m any countries around the w orld<br />

provides an enriching experience for the m adrichim and the OSA staff. One of the duties of the<br />

I m adrich is to support you in your d iffic u lt m om ents of loneliness and daily pressures, w h ich are very<br />

I typical for overseas students, and I hope the m adrichim made your stay easier fo r you.<br />

I take the opportunity to sincerely thank the student com m ittee for th e ir w idespread activity-from<br />

I last October 'til now. It is so exciting to see the students take part in the many projects offered at the<br />

I school, to see them w holehe artedly invest th e ir tim e and efforts and even th e ir own m oney at tim es,<br />

I for exam ple in th e yearbook project, the students theatre production, and the volunteers project. I'm<br />

I absolutely sure th a t w ith o u t your support th is passing year w o u ld have been very different.<br />

Special thanks to the volunteers w ho dedicated very special tim e to help deprived fam ilies and their<br />

I children. Recently I received m any letters form fam ilies and organisations for w hom the volunteers<br />

worked, and they all thank and appreciate your good w ill and contributions.<br />

Finally to all our students, w e hope you w ill support Israel and recount your w o n derful experience<br />

Good luck,<br />

SMOKE WAS IN<br />

Here's the song I sing fo r th e angels caught in w a r<br />

And the tear it brings because they didn't know w h a t for<br />

Here's the song I sing as th e flam es arise<br />

For a w o rld th a t d id n 't see smoke w as in th e ir eyes.<br />

And a nation listened hypnotised to the G d־ th a t they had made<br />

And his clothes w ere made of satin, and his sustenance w as rage<br />

Like lem m ings to the sea they follow ed anyw here he led<br />

Til th e ir m inds w ere those of zombies<br />

And th e ir hands w ere crim son red.<br />

Chorus<br />

And the people fed on fear and fancy follow ed to the end<br />

Til the masses w ere as anim als in the darkest hour of men<br />

And the victim s all w ere guilty, being born th e ir only crim e<br />

Because a m onster hated m illions, blam eless m illions had to die.<br />

W here's the logic? W here's the mercy?<br />

Was the planet fast asleep?<br />

The entire w o rld w as guilty for the smoke they didn't see<br />

As the m others, and the children, and the fathers, and th e ir kin<br />

A ll w ere sw allow ed up in furnaces or show ered in toxin.<br />

Chorus<br />

Now m any years have passed since th e furnaces and gas<br />

And the w o rld has gone along its w ay<br />

But the day may come w h e n the people tu rn again to guns<br />

In a frenzy they may lose th e ir m inds<br />

Caught up in dem agogic lies<br />

If you th in k th a t w e 're too civilised<br />

It's been done before, my friend... NEVER AGAIN!<br />

Yad Vashem<br />

Remember the past.<br />

Live for the present.<br />

And trust in the future.<br />

Yad Vashem...<br />

A museum that displays<br />

the suffering, destitution, and torment<br />

of the Jewish people<br />

during the time of the Holocaust.<br />

A memorial — a mere grain of sand<br />

in representation of the 6 million<br />

that together united to form<br />

an everlasting symbol of sacrifice.<br />

A people that died because of their Jewish identity.<br />

How does one identify with this?<br />

A force so strong, so powerful,<br />

that people are murdered for it.<br />

A religion, a faith, however one wishes to define it,<br />

is the breath, the living force of the Jewish nation.<br />

Like a candle, it is extinguished.<br />

With the raise of an arm;<br />

You, to the left,<br />

you, to the right.<br />

You live.<br />

You die.<br />

A power in the hands of a nation<br />

driven by sadism, cruelty, and jealousy.<br />

W hat may be the judge of a person's destiny?<br />

May w e never allow ourselves to be led<br />

by such a level<br />

of human injustice.<br />

May we neyer forget the past,<br />

in order to allow ourselves<br />

to live freely in the present,<br />

and trust faithfully in the future,<br />

Yad Vashem...<br />

Purim — the holiday w e've all looked forw ard to since w e got here. W here else in the w orld do we<br />

celebrate Purim fo r tw o days? M any of us began the celebration in Tel Aviv, w here w e got to<br />

experience th e m anic lunacy in the streets. But, then came the best part: Purim in Jerusalem . W e piled<br />

into Hecht Synagogue dressed up and excited — after already having distributed and eaten our<br />

m ishloach m anot. The M egilah reading w as quite an experience consisting alm ost com pletely of<br />

overseas students. A candy w a r w as waged between the balcony and those below. A fte r that, it w as<br />

tim e to celebrate Queen Esther's victory and w e drank so that w e could no longer d ifferentiate<br />

betw een Haman and M ordechai. M ost people happily fu lfille d th is mitzvah — as could be seen by<br />

those dancing and singing in the Forum and later stum bling around in tow n or at the Baraton.<br />

ISo... here w e are, the infam ous C alifornians from the U niversity of C alifornia. You may w onder<br />

hy C alifornians, w ho care so little anyway, w ould care about a fe w pages in a year book. W ell, the fact<br />

in th e ir in fin ite w isdom , our advisors Ju lia n and Chana decided to purchase a yearbook for all 50 of<br />

>from our UC budget. W e couldn't ow n a yearbook w ith o u t our mugs on some of th e pages now,<br />

!uld we? Since w e couldn't get in the year-book w h ile sitting our asses som ew here getting a tan, vye<br />

!needed that, yes, w e m ust do some w ork ourselves — very little ! So here it is, our U niversity of<br />

alifo rn ia Education Abroad Program and its EAPness!<br />

^<br />

W arning: th is section does not necessarily represent the opinions of all of the UC EAPnesses — not<br />

1at you or they care.<br />

Some people say certain th in g s about C alifornians, you know, kind of stereotype us. W ell, w hat<br />

ell, it may ju s t be true th a t w e are all vegetarians, su rf heads, peaceniks, and ju st too laid back. It 1<br />

ue that one of the bigger revelations made last year was: "Dude, there are waves in Israel!", or that<br />

ne of the bigger disappointm ents was: "W hen you said everybody w as getting stoned, w h y d id n 't you<br />

ay it w as by rocks!" — Not that C alifornians care about sports unless w e w in , but w e m ust gloat w hen<br />

's too hard not to. This is fo r all you pseudo-jock strap heads in the audience. You see th is year w as<br />

e lig h tfu l in the fact th a t w e could rub the Lakers, 49ers, Dodgers, and A 's into your sappy faces. Man,<br />

/e just hope that you New Yorkers can stop crying all day about the sporting ineptitude out there. It is<br />

Iso great to have stolen Gretzky from you Canadians. But, enough of that. O nw ard ho.


V<br />

Here w e have Richard Spencer and his reflections of our special Ulpan:<br />

The class w as a m icrocosm of Israel. Sum m er Ulpan class, Bet 1, at Haifa U niversity — w here the<br />

U niversity of C alifornia had its Ulpan — contained all kinds of different folks. There was us, a fe w other<br />

Am ericans, a Swede, a Germ an, a couple of Latin A m ericans, and a South A frican w ith an accent so<br />

thick you could slice it w ith a machete.<br />

Now, I don't w a n t to sound like Jam es W att, Ronnie Reagan's old Secretary of the Interior, w ho was<br />

made fam ous by his "B lack, tw o Jew s, a w om an, and a cripple rem ark. Each one of these students<br />

came to represent a life-style, a country, a continent. It w as like learning Hebrew w ith the United<br />

Nations — only a pro-Israel UN! W e connected — most of us, anyway — by being Jew s draw n to the<br />

Jew ish state fo r as many reasons as there w ere Jew s in the class. And th e non-Jew ish students'<br />

desire to learn Hebrew brought them closer to the rest, w ho also shared th is desire.<br />

W e w ere also of vastly diffe re n t ages. There w ere young Californians, the m iddle-aged South<br />

A frica n im m igrant, and a retired A m erican w om an w ith some spare tim e on her hands. It w as at firs t a<br />

little strange to be in the same class as someone th a t could have voted for W arren Harding, but in tim e,<br />

distinguish ing features like nationality and age became less im portant as w e grew to know each other.<br />

So th is is ju st a taste ■— maybe ju st a sm ell — of my sum m er Ulpan class. Som etim es it seems like<br />

yesterday that I w as greeting th e Colom bian w ith a "Com o estas?", som etim es like an eternity.<br />

Man, make up your ow n caption for this!<br />

You may ask, in your in fin ite jealousy, w h a t is so unique about UC and its big EAPness? W ell, firstly, 0<br />

w e apply to the program through our hom e university. You m ust have a 3.0 and go through a series of<br />

interview s to be accepted. C om petition is extrem ely tough. The UC representatives you see here are<br />

the select, th e fe w chosen among w h a t is rum oured to be m any candidates. We paid for th is year<br />

through UC, th u s saving us m uch dinero to spend on ourselves or others w ho are needy. Instead of<br />

spending a hot sum m er Ulpan living at Givat Ram and having to bus to classes, w e w ere taught<br />

Hebrew in the lovely environm ent of Haifa University. We lived in a nice highrise dorm overlooking<br />

Haifa, only a m inutes w alk from class. The beach alw ays beckoned after class. Our advisors knew q<br />

better than to divorce C alifornians from the beach during the sum m er.<br />

W e have our ow n office in G oldsm ith, com plete w ith professor Julian "N othing is com plete<br />

w ith o u t a p e titio n " Feldman from UC Irvine, one hell of a guy; and one of Israel's best natural<br />

resources, Chana "I hate p e titio n s " Arnon. The office is everything from post office to bank to<br />

psychiatric hospital. A w onderful place.<br />

A dditionally, w e have neat things such as: holiday dinners, great tiyuls, free yearbooks, guest<br />

lecturers, etc. M ost im portantly, though (tim e for some cheesy, sentim ental muzzak) is our deep 0<br />

friendships. No phony friendships here, folks — and consequently, no phony birthday parties. Fun,<br />

huh?<br />

The 50 or so of us arrived in Israel on Ju ly 14, after an all night flig h t. A lthough transatlantic<br />

flig h ts can be hellish, w e m aintained our ever-pleasant C alifornia laid-back attitude throughout. By<br />

the end of the flig h t, all of th e stew ardess w ere sm iling and a contingent of Brooklyn hassids w ere<br />

organising a tye-dye party to be held after Shachrit.<br />

It's a com bination of being here now, letting it all hang out, doing your own thing, and w a itin g for<br />

AEROBICS<br />

Instructor: Debbie Goodman,<br />

Hom etow n: Cape Town<br />

D efinition of aerobics: activity that is required in th e presence of oxygen — w h a t a joke! — or so I<br />

thought on a rainy day in M arch in Jerusalem . I w as prepared for some “ shopping” exercises; you<br />

know — grab the diet Coke, put it in the cart, wave to your frie n d across the aisle, faster girls... — I w as<br />

all prepared for the "w o rk o u t" w ith the essentials — my new Nike running sneakers, sw eat pants, a T-<br />

shirt I w ould never w ash, and a half litre of beer from Club 1 5. Trying to be suave, I strutted into the<br />

aerobics class ready to kick some "shoppin g " ass. W hat I saw w as about 10 fem ales and 6 guys trying<br />

to em ulate th is w om an running around this little stage. So I started to join in. It seemed easy fo r the<br />

firs t 5 seconds. Then the w e ird e st thing started to happen, my heart began to beat very quickly, sw eat<br />

poured dow n my face and my eyes began to bug. This w om an w as jogging, d rillin g her "stu d e n ts", and<br />

taking o ff her clothing. W orst of all her great fig u re w as ruining the trem endous concentration<br />

necessary to m aster the d iffic u lt dance steps th a t w ere included in the exercise. A t least, I began to<br />

understand the large and grow ing male interest in Club 18 aerobics. W ell, from that m om ent on I knew<br />

I had to get to know the instructor better. As Hebrew U's roving aerobic reporter, I fe lt it w as my duty to<br />

"in te rv ie w " the instructor and get an inside scoop on w h a t aerobics w as all about.<br />

Q: W hen did you start your legendary aerobic career?<br />

A: I started doing aerobics w hen I w as 16 and graduated high school, but I've been dancing ever since I<br />

w as a child. I supplem ent my dance know ledge into my aerobic routine. (W hat I th in k she w as trying to<br />

say w as: "I w as 16 and began to notice I w as getting hefty. I realised that some guys liked 'lovehandles',<br />

but I knew th is w as getting ridiculous. So I w ent out and did som ething about it.")<br />

Q: W hat specific event directed your life tow ards a career in aerobic physical fitness?<br />

A: A bsolutely no specific event. Keeping fit is the reason I do aerobics, and exercise is an essential part<br />

of being fit. As they say, "A fit body produces a fit m ind". (W hat I th in k she w as really trying to say was:<br />

No com m ent, th is question is so personal and im portant, th a t w ords ju st can't do the answ er ju stice.")<br />

Q: W hat excites you m ost during aerobics?<br />

A: First, seeing you in my class. Second, w hen I see people giving it th e ir all and know ing I'm the<br />

source of this intensity. (W hat I th in k she w as really trying to say was: "First, seeing you in my class.<br />

SeconcT;.seeing you in my class. Third, seeing you in my class ...")<br />

Q: Do you ever sleep?<br />

A: That is the stupidest question I ever heard. Believe you me, I sleep th e same as everybody else.<br />

(W hat I th in k she w as really trying to say was: "I som etim es find it d iffic u lt to sleep, because I'm so<br />

pumped up to do aerobics the next day. By the way, th a t was a great soul searching question. Did you<br />

steal it from Oprah?")<br />

Q: W hat w ould you recom m end for all those beginner aerobicers out there?<br />

A: Get to know your body. Start w ith a low -m edium intensity aerobics class and build up a good sweat<br />

w ith o u t straining yourself. (W hat I th in k she w as really trying to say was: "A ll you BUMS out there<br />

should get your fat, lazy, happy asses down to your nearest aerobics class and fin a lly begin to get your<br />

shape to resem ble som ething hum an.")<br />

W ell, thanks Debbie, but th a t's unfortunately all the space I'm allow ed fo r th is article and w e don't<br />

w a n t the editors to th ro w a shit fit. Good luck in life, to you, and to all OSA students.<br />

The m usic is cranked. Bodies glisten w ith sweat. G runts and groans reverberate through the air.<br />

This is our home aw ay from home. The Hebrew U. w e ig h t room. Some of us spend up to 12 hours a<br />

w eek in th is place ju s t fo r the fun of it, and it really is fu n Despite the physical torture it involves we<br />

m anage to get some really good laughs and develop really close friendships. The w e ig h t room has<br />

provided us w ith great m em ories and some really good muscles. The "c re w ” is pretty m otley — there<br />

are guys and girls from all over the U.S., South A frica, South A m erica, France, and, of course, Israel.<br />

A nd there are those "u n iq u e " people that the w e ig h t room w ould be incom plete w ith o u t. "The Cube"<br />

A Self-Guided Running Tour of Israel and Egypt<br />

The 19 8 8 -'8 9 OYP in stille d many m em ories and experiences in all of us. W e hiked, made life-long<br />

friends, visited historical sites, ate Shabbat dinners w ith religious fam ilies, studied??? A nd some of us<br />

learned how to cook. But, how m any of us can say w e ran thro u g h o u t Israel and Egypt and competed in<br />

races w ith Israelis and other athletes from over 20 other countries?<br />

Running has played a m ajor role in my life fo r the past year, but this year w as extra fantastic and<br />

w ill be a m em ory as long as I live. Some h ighlights include the fo llo w in g : running around M ount<br />

Scopus to G ivat Ram, running in Tiberias and along the Kinneret, running from Eilat to Taba, running<br />

from M igdal HaEmeq to Nazareth, running in Cairo at 4 a.m. and getting lost, running in Dahab,<br />

ru nning in Mea Shearim on Shabbat, running in Netanya and Tel Aviv, running in Jerusalem w hen I<br />

should have been in class!<br />

M uch of my to u rin g and sightseeing w as done w h ile I pounded the pavem ent and gazed at all the<br />

beauty surrounding me from all sides. Camels, donkeys, m ountains, sea, desert, forest, the Old City...<br />

Each of my daily ru nning ja u n ts added a new perspective and dim ension to my picture of Israel. A<br />

picture th a t I w ill alw ays carry deep w ith in my heart.<br />

A lthough I suffered a stress fracture in September, w h ile tra in in g in th e Golan Heights, I managed<br />

to stay in shape by sw im m in g every day fo r an hour at the G ivat Ram pool. My leg com pletely healed in<br />

early December, and I began tra in in g to com pete in tw o races in Israel. On February 18th, I ran the<br />

Giona Ron Ein Gedi, 25 km race. The course began in Ein Gedi and continued to th e foot of Massada<br />

before re tu rn in g to the fin is h line at th e Ein Gedi Spa. The vie w of the Dead Sea on my left during the<br />

race w as absolutely gorgeous! I com pleted the race in 1:46:27 and cam e in 48th place in the 200-<br />

ru n n e r field. I indulged m yself in the hot springs fo llo w in g the race.<br />

But, no day of running can com pare to my com petition in the Tel-A viv m arathon on M arch 15th. I<br />

m et runners from all over the w orld as th e w e a th e r conditions w ere perfect to carry on a conversation<br />

w ith other runners th ro u g h o u t the 26.2 m ile course along Dizengoff, Ramat Gan, and the city of Tel-<br />

A viv itself. I finished in a tim e of 3:14:34 and came in 58th place. Fellow OYP participant Jack "C oby"<br />

Zaremski cam e in 25th in a tim e of 2 hours and 42 m inutes (250 runners competed in the m arathon).<br />

W e ate ice cream at Ben and Jerry's fo llo w in g the great m orning of pain and accom plishm ent.<br />

As I return to the United States and continue running as w e ll as racing, I w ill k n o w th a t not a single<br />

day^of tra in in g can com pare to th e spectacular view s and my feelings during a daily run in Israel. It w ill<br />

be sad to no longer see the cam els or dash buses trying to run me over as I gaze at the views. My<br />

running in Israel w ill be treasured, and, perhaps, someday I w ill return for more.<br />

W hy go to Tel-A viv w hen Jerusalem is so obviously the superior city? I asked m yself the same thing<br />

rytim e I got on the bus to get there. I discovered there are a fe w good reasons to visit, despite the<br />

ussle and bustle of the crowded w esternised city. First, the beach, a w onderful excuse to skip school,<br />

r all, Jerusalem doesn't quite have a beach and a definite effort m ust be made to m aintain that<br />

ual tan. A n o th e r good reason is to v is it friends at Tel-A viv U. But let's be honest. W hat is the real<br />

w e all found ourselves in line at the far end of the Tachanah Mercazit? So th a t w e could get a<br />

taste of A m erican food. The openings of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, and of W endy's w ere tru ly G-<br />

-sends. No m atter th a t it's about a 20 m inute w alk between the tw o, w e have all managed to h it both<br />

n if w e're ju s t in for th e day. The w alk to Ben and Je rry's prior to eating W endy's ham burgers (still<br />

eeping kosher — even in Tel-Aviv) is ju s t long enough to earn us a large order of fries (as a side order)<br />

Bete Avon!


VOLUNTEERING<br />

Being in Israel th is year w as a w onderful experience and part of this experience w as intensified by<br />

the tim e I spent outside of my studies. One of the most im portant aspects of my life this year w as being<br />

involved in an Israeli child's life. This past year I volunteered at M avaseret Zion, a suburban area 10<br />

m inutes outside Jerusalem , on the Jerusalem -Tel Aviv highw ay. These children needed help w ith<br />

th e ir English hom ework, but they especially needed to be w ith new people. A t the same tim e th a t I was<br />

helping a child w ith his English, he w as helping me w ith my Hebrew. Since the children there needed<br />

a teacher or a big brother, it gave me an opportunity to see how Israeli children live th e ir lives and how<br />

they feel about everything th a t is going on around them . Giving my tim e w as occasionally d ifficult, but<br />

the end result w as so rew arding th a t it w as w orth it. To spend tim e and offer my help to these children<br />

gave me the feeling that no m atter w h a t the circum stances I could help a child feel good. In turn, I w as<br />

made to feel that my volunteer w ork w as an im portant and w o rth w h ile experience.<br />

Elwyn (form erly Sw edish village) is home to approxim ately 275 children, young adults and seniors,<br />

situated in Kiryat M enachem , a suburb of Jerusalem .<br />

The Swedish Village w as named in recognition of the g ift from the Swedish governm ent of several<br />

cottages and trees planted in m em ory of 99 Jew ish children shot dow n over Sweden during W orld<br />

W ar II. A t th a t tim e the fa cility w as a convalescent home. In 1958 it became a residence fo r the<br />

retarded, w h ich grew from 10 residents to its present num ber, under th e auspices of the Israeli<br />

governm ent.<br />

In Septem ber <strong>1988</strong>, Jerusalem Elwyn assum ed m anagem ent of the Village, a tth e invitation of the<br />

G overnm ent. In planning for the fu tu re , w e expect to im prove the physical plant and to enhance the<br />

q u a lity of life for the residents.<br />

Because our philosophy is client-centred, we have introduced th e case m anagem ent system as the<br />

basis fo r clie n t care. Every resident has a case manager, trained in special education, social w ork, or<br />

psychology, w hose prim e responsibility is to evaluate client strengths and needs and to form ulate an<br />

Individual W ritten Program Plan, w ith w hich to begin w ork w ith the client. We have added ancillary<br />

professional staff in. areas of speech, occupational, m ovem ent and recreation therapy, special<br />

education and psychology, to fa cilita te the im plem entation of individual programs.<br />

Today, 7 0 ,children are transported daily to neighbouring schools. The residents w h o are either<br />

under or over school age rem ain on cam pus w h ere they are involved in educational and vocational<br />

programs. Here, too, the em phasis is on enrichm ent of existing educational m aterial and im provem ent<br />

of vocational program s w ith no more diversified and challenging w ork. A fternoon activities are<br />

available to the residents.<br />

W e are interested in creating a volunteer netw ork of people w ho w ill contribute th e ir tim e and<br />

energy to Elwyn.<br />

The volunteers w ill w ork on im proving the physical plant and aiding the direct-care and<br />

professional staff eith e r w ith individuals or in groups. W e hope to utilise the talents and skills of our<br />

volunteers to expand our recreational program m ing into new areas.<br />

Elwyn also has a w ork activity program fo r clients w ho live in the com m unity. This is a day program<br />

in w hich the clients are taught basic w ork skills and appropriate behaviours. Goals for m any of these<br />

clients are entry into the com petitive m arket or supportive em ploym ent in th e co m m u n ity. Volunteers<br />

w ho w ork in conjunction w ith the day program, w ork w ith individual clients at the end of th e ir work<br />

day.


Elections<br />

Like everything else in Israel, the U niversity does not escape com plete politicalization. The student<br />

Ijn io n is run by political parties aligned w ith the national ones. Everyone has th e ir ow n political<br />

fconvictions, or th e y're te rrib ly confused. The cam pus is transform ed at election tim e. Posters, t-shirts,<br />

■lyers, and, m ost of all, stickers control the w a lls and blind the eyes. A rgum ents flair, friendships are<br />

te m p o ra rily suspended, and w hispered conversations echo the halls of Goldsm ith. The elections for<br />

■he 3 overseas seats w ere contested by the GILAD (the LIKUD faction) against a coalition of OFEK-<br />

13METZ (the labour and RATZ-M APAM factions). Each day, tables in fro n t of G oldsm ith advertised the<br />

■nerits of each group. Door to door cam paigning interrupted one at 11:00 p.m. By the last fe w days, the<br />

■ w o sides w ere fa r from speaking term s. But, afterw ards, friendships w ere renewed. The political<br />

■ever forgotten, the vote w as w on by GILAD, w ho captured all three seats.<br />

Student Committee<br />

The S tudent C om m ittee is a group of students w h o either realised that the bureaucracy of the<br />

school w o u ld not give us everything w e w anted, or just w anted to get involved in helping do<br />

som ething. In addition to the num erous parties organised ( The opening at the One Year Party, and the<br />

February Opening Party being ju st two), the com m ittee w as involved in the "M issionary Go Hom e"<br />

sem inar, distrib u tin g sufganiot for Hanukkah, organising certain sporting events: the year and in<br />

organising the Beit H illel-O S A theatre w orkshop's play "O n ly Fools are Sad". In addition they played a<br />

m ajor role in reopening the Apple M acintosh Com puter Room w ith in weeks of its being closed. In all,<br />

th is year has been a relatively successful one for the Student Committee, despite some brief rocky<br />

periods.<br />

The Hassid<br />

If you can spare th e tim e, I w o u ld like to tell you a story. It began in a sm all to w n as most of our<br />

stories do...<br />

The w ord w as spread, and so it began. A ll those interested practised th e ir craft w ith great<br />

anticipatio n as the judgem ent day grew near. Soon it w as upon them .<br />

They sang and told stories as the man named M ike w atched on, and those w hose num ber had not<br />

yet been called, w aited apprehensively.<br />

The selection had been made and the seem ingly im possible task of m aking som ething out of<br />

nothing had begun. The w ork w as hard and the hours long. Those w ho lacked the stam ina fe ll to the<br />

w ayside as th e place picked up. Those w ho rem ained became a strongly bonded w ell oiled acting<br />

machine. The <strong>1989</strong> Overseas Program 's presentation of "The H assid" w as to be a reality.<br />

Tim ing w as essential. Entrances, exits. Practise makes perfect. Do it again! FRUSTRATION —<br />

harm ony, hot lights, dance steps, make-up.<br />

O pening night ‏^י*‏ Tim e to do it — This is w h a t w e've w orked for. Standing room o n ly ^ th e curtain is<br />

Beit-Midrash<br />

Over th e past year, students have had the opportunity to participate in the Hecht Synagogue's Beit-<br />

M idrash program. Every M onday night, over 100 students and th e ir tutors meet and discuss topics<br />

ranging from Jew ish Philosophy, to Torah, to various holidays. B eit-M idrash has offered students the<br />

chance to choose subjects w h ich interest them .<br />

O ften these one-on-one sessions have led to unexpected friendships and an occasional invitation<br />

for a Shabbat or a festival. W hen w e leave Israel, B eit-M idrash w ill be among those experiences w hich<br />

m ost affected us.<br />

M A N N A<br />

Each one of us w h o came to Israel came fo r a reason. We could have studied in Belgium , England,<br />

France, Italy, Hungary, or Yugoslavia, but we chose not to. W e chose to travel to a little Jew ish state<br />

w ith m any big problem s. Why?<br />

There is som ething special here in Israel; older than Stonehenge and more valuable than the crow n<br />

jewels. G-d, Torah, Judaism . Every Je w can relate on his or her ow n level. This is our home. This is our<br />

past, and it's our future.<br />

I tru ly believe th a t if necessity is the m other of invention, then fru stra tio n is its father. These tw o<br />

ingredients along w ith a sprinkling of determ ination and more than a dash of patience form ed slow ly<br />

into a m asterpiece called M ANNA.<br />

M anna ( "y o u r Jew ish group on cam pus") began in Septem ber of '8 8 w ith the logo: M an cannot<br />

live on bread alone. I w as taking a chance. There w as no student-run tra d itio n a l Jew ish organization<br />

on cam pus so the tim e w as ripe. I w as w orking along the prem ise th a t "you and I can change the w orld<br />

and all the rest w ill fo llo w " ‏•״-‏ a fe w follow ed, w ith o u t the help of the Shauns, Eds, Asaphs, Matts,<br />

Joshes, and M elindas (etc...) there w ould be no M anna.<br />

W e began slow ly: a shabbaton on the subject of Jew ish m ysticism in the Old City of Jerusalem ,<br />

weekly planning m eetings, a very successful sem inar on the threat of "Jevvs for Jesus" and other<br />

cults and m issionary groups w hich w as later repeated on demand, another shabbaton dealing w ith<br />

m atters of interpersonal relationships, a visit to Hadassah Hospital on Purim to deliver M ishloach,<br />

song and sim chah and speakers on various topics such as G!~stnost, w om en's issues and the<br />

science/T orah dichotom y.<br />

Those w ho w ere afraid, slow ly began to emerge from th e ir hiding places to enjoy such events as a<br />

m id-eastern political sim u la tio n game, a sem inar in conjunction w ith the m useum of the potential<br />

Holocaust aim ed at raising awareness as to the problem of grow ing anti-S em itism in North Am erica, a<br />

Lag Baom er bonfire and barbeque, a chassidic festival, and an all night Shavuot study session ending<br />

w ith sunrise at the Kotel.<br />

To look back now, I am nothing less than overw helm ed w ith the success of th is group. This group<br />

gave me the opportunity to share a piece of my peace w ith all w ho partook in w h a t it had to offer.<br />

In the days of the Exodus, M anna fell from the heavens in order to nourish those Jew s w ho had left<br />

Egypt and w ere w andering lost in the desert. We, the Overseas Students, lost in the desert of Galut,<br />

soared some thousands of m iles through the heavens, to be nourished in some capacity by Judaism<br />

and all that Israel has to offer. I hope th a t M anna proved w o rth w h ile for those in the search for Jew ish<br />

nourishm ent.<br />

A nother interesting aspect of the Torah's M anna is that it tasted exactly as one w ished for it to<br />

taste; it w as w h a t you w anted it to be. In the same sense our M anna at Hebrew U niversity was<br />

moulded and shaped by all w ho participated, w e created it, it is w h a t w e w anted it to be — and how<br />

sw eet it is!<br />

To those w ho come next, and to all those w ho helped this seed to prosper — Thank you. I w ish next<br />

year's M anna all the good mazel that this year's M anna w as blessed w ith. Please rem em ber a 10<br />

thousand m ile journey begins w ith one step. In the w ords of H illel: Ifl am not for myself, w ho w ill be for<br />

me? If I am only for m yself then, w hat am l?And if not now — when?<br />

BASP Fairy-tale<br />

Once upon a tim e (w hat did you expect — it's a fairytale!), there w as a group of Aussies and<br />

Pommes w ho descended dow n upon the fa ir land of Israel. A lthough in a foreign environm ent, these<br />

people soon learnt to adjust, stealing cutlery from restaurants and purchasing under-age bus tickets!<br />

They discovered the delights of th e Israeli countryside and took Geology fie ld trip s on the num ber 23<br />

bus. This strange tribe also sought out and found a pleasant w ater-hole nam ed ,'The Cavern".<br />

Crossing the Egyptian border became second nature to them and many returned w ith tales o f<br />

"heady experiences". U nfortunately, the vice of gam bling set up as Poker nights became a regular<br />

feature of th e ir lives. People w ho had not picked up a paper in years now clam oured for a glim pse of<br />

"N ew s of the W o rld ". Letters (or the lack of them ) could make or break ones day. Those Aussies and<br />

Pommes sure had a w e ird dress-sense; w e re n 't sheets for sleeping on in most cultures?<br />

Soon they began to appreciate the fin e r sides of th e ir hom e lives back in G.B. and A u stra lia — to ile t<br />

paper, vege-m ite, and neighbours! However, w hen things became too much, one could always resort<br />

to drinks at th e Hyatt on ones credit card, of course.<br />

And, last but not least, the w ork, essays, hom ework... No? Oh w ell, I guess all fairytales ca n 't end<br />

happily ever after — but th is one cam e pretty close!<br />

Some say that for the spirit, cold show ers are refreshing<br />

WALES.<br />

I th in k th a t I can consider m yself to be one of a rare breed, in that I am a W elsh Je w w ho has come to<br />

study in Israel, even if it's only fo r a year. Being a Je w in W ales, is quite a rarity, fo r all the ones there<br />

w ere m any th rivin g com m unities in South W ales and the Valley Regions (in am ongst the coal mines)<br />

there now rem ains only one center of Judaism in W ales, in the capital city, Cardiff. Even there, there is<br />

only one orthodox synagogue and about a thousand Jews, of w h ich only a score are strictly Observant.<br />

These are, indeed, sad tim es for a country w h ich has so m uch in com m on w ith Israel. W ales is<br />

approxim ately the same size as Israel, w ith approxim ately the same population. Like Israel, W ales has<br />

the sea as one of her borders, and a language different to those spoken in other lands. W ales has<br />

th e Israeli tra it of being fa irly pathetic at sports, w ith the exception of rugby. The tw o countries are also<br />

both surrounded by th e ir enem ies on all sides. W ales has a beautiful countryside, m uch like Israel has<br />

in the Golan and G alil. Also, the in stitu te s w here the W elsh language is taught are called Ulpanim.<br />

A lthough Israel is the place w h ere all Jew s should try to live their lives, W ales, in my opinion, w ould<br />

perhaps be one of the next best places, if it had a larger Jew ish population. 0<br />

W hat is encouraging fo r Je w s in W ales, and C ardiff in particular, is the num ber of youngsters<br />

com ing to Israel, e ith e r tem porarily or perm anently. It is doubtful w h e th e r my com m unity in Britain, of<br />

com parable size can boast as many high ranking soldiers in the Israeli arm y and airforce as Cardiff.<br />

A m ongst the youngsters w ho are still in Cardiff, many express a preference to move away from the<br />

city, although quite a high num ber say that living in Israel is a realistic possibility.<br />

Having been in Israel for 8 m onths now, it w ill be w ith m ixedfe e lin g sth a t I return to W ales. On one<br />

hand, I w ill retu rn to the "Land of my Fathers" as the fam ous rugby song goes, and there I w ill be able<br />

to encourage more people from Cardiff to come to Israel, but I w ill be leaving Eretz Israel, the beautiful<br />

country w h ere I made so m any friends and had such good tim es. Hopefully, my departure w ill only be<br />

tem porary.<br />

SQUEEGY W O M EN<br />

• •<br />

BASP<br />

If your alarm doesn't w ake you, they w ill. They come every m orning at the crack of daw n and are<br />

more punctual than an atom ic clock. And they come armed, armed w ith a soppy old rag on the end of<br />

an odd-looking mop thing and a sloppy pail of stagnant w ater. B u tw o rs e .fa rw o rs e th a n th e irp e c u lia r<br />

w eaponry is the noxious , stom ach-turning odour, capable of pervading an entire building, th a t they<br />

e m it w h ils t going about th e ir ritu a listic business. They belong to a unique breed of m am m al. They are<br />

the Squeegy W om en, origins unknow n, but possibly D arw in's m issing link. They are the w om en w ho<br />

come and erect an assault course of suds and floods on your floor every day. They are unavoidable. The<br />

squeegies are loud, clattering and conspicuous. Go into the kitchen, th e y'll be there. Go into the toilet,<br />

th e y 'll be there. Go into the showers, th e y'll be there, squeegying away. These tribeslike wom en,<br />

atired in the m ost bizarre costum ery and headwear, haven't yet m astered th e art of speech. They are<br />

not uncom m unicative, but th e ir w ords are unin te llig ib le and they raise th e ir voices to fe w decibels<br />

short of concord. Nor are they unskilled, for they are experts at getting in your way, and they shaft<br />

around w ith the speed of a sloth.<br />

The Squeegy W om en are a phenomena. Come the m orning and these causers of the greatest<br />

floods since Noah suddenly leave. They announce th e ir arrival at an unearthly hour like a bomb gone<br />

off, but w hen they go you do not even notice. W here they go, nobody knows. Despite the damp and<br />

a w ful lingering sm ell of tackled grim e, you can breathe a sigh of relief, leave the sanctuary of your<br />

room and w ade out across the landing. But come the crack of dawn the Squeegies w ill be back.<br />

BASP: Character Resumes<br />

M r Peter Harold Clem ents: Peter, a prom inent m em ber of BASP, contained all the qualities of a<br />

w ell-bred, good J e w ish football hooligan. Such is his com m and of the English language (an A-1 at A-<br />

level, lest you forget), w ould make a hardened Israeli soldierfeel q uite ill, w ith m em orable and moving<br />

sayings like, "U p your s and f - - your m o th e r!" Peter has w on much respect w ith in the U niversity<br />

w ith his d u tifu l and studious approach w ith the Hebrew classes.<br />

Peter's gentlem anly chivalry comes to the fore fro n t w ith his courteous and rom antic behaviour to<br />

his loved one (or loved ones as the case may be), his charm ing declaration of his "a m o u r" can be heard<br />

fre q u e n tly echoing through the corridors of Resnick 4, "F --- off, you fa t bitch... F - - off! You s m e ll!" and<br />

other subtle innuendoes.<br />

M r. M arc Charles O ppenheim : Marc, w ho caused a large am ount of concern during th e program<br />

w h e n it w as revealed th a t he w as suffering from A norexia Nervosa. In fact, his infam ous generosity<br />

w h e n it com es to food, w as partly the cause of this. S m iling, he w ould w elcom e a hungry passer-by<br />

w ith , "m y fridge is alw ays open, it's not a problem ."<br />

M r. M ark Leonard G rynberg: M ark's athletic build and his v irility has w on him the adm iration of<br />

m any long-legged, m odel-like w om en w ith in the campus.<br />

Though M ark's excessive generosity has often led him into trouble, m any take advantage of his<br />

s p e n d th rift characteristic.<br />

Though M ark's sym pathetic nature is most prom inent during our Tuesday night poker sessions, his<br />

concern and com passion fo r those less fo rtu n a te than him is tru ly adm irable, w ith kind and caring<br />

rem arks like, "A royal flu sh of hearts is better than p— " ... or, "D o you need a loan of 5 shekels,<br />

though I need it back at 6 a.m. w ith interest. "Though, norm ally teetotal he still retains a rem arkable<br />

a b ility to consum e large am ounts of alcohol, w h ils t still rem aining cool, calm, and collected.<br />

Though com ing from a w e a lth y fam ily, M ark is surprisingly coy and bashful about his personal<br />

properties. He prefers to take a back-seat roll w hen it comes to conversations about financial m atters.<br />

M iss Kim Jaquelin e Pryer: K im 's pacifist nature and gentillesse became apparent from the very<br />

beginning, her soothing w ords to Mr. Peter Clem ents, "If you laugh, I'll burn a hole in your fa c e !" Her<br />

slender, sensuous fig u re is accentuated by her inexpensive choice of clothes. Kim prefers the<br />

Bohem ian look, one can see her w h irlin g m ajestically through the Resnicks w ith her colourful head<br />

scarves blow ing softly in the w ind.<br />

Though K im 's am azing athletic ability stunned many on the sea to sea hike, she became an<br />

exam ple fo r many, leading w ith the equally energetic Lisa. The tired and w eary saw her scarf as a<br />

symbol of strength.<br />

M iss Lisa M iriam Sotnick: Lisa, a shy and introverted girl, w ho unfortunately has been plagued by<br />

acne since th e beginning of the course, came to the Hebrew U niversity on a scholarship due to her<br />

poverty-stricken background. Her dainty footsteps and her modest, hum ble dress sense reflect her<br />

relaxed m e llo w tem peram ents.<br />

Her secure and solid relationship w ith the m ature and sensible Sim on is an exam ple to all other<br />

couples... Her ability to discuss, calm ly and quietly, dom estic problem s is rem arkable. Lisa, as w e can<br />

see, is a very in tim a te girl w h o w o u ld rather be alone w ith a good book than socialising w ith the<br />

w e a lth y Je w s in th e ir "R alph Lauren U n ifo rm " in places such as "L'E q u ip e ".<br />

Her relationship w ith others in BASP, especially w ith the skinny philanthropist, M arc Oppenheim,<br />

has laid the foundations fo r a long and lasting friendship. Her im m ortal w ords "Even my fa th e r doesn't<br />

speak to me th a t w a y " has become a touching catchphrase. M arc's pet-nam e, "piece of m eat", is<br />

equally m eaningful.<br />

M r Mark Jutsen: M ark is one of th e particularly obnoxious m em bers of BASP. M ark's loud boasting<br />

of his sexual conquests resound thro u g h o u t the campus. His "w a s tin g -a w a y " room m ate suffers<br />

endless hours of detailed descriptions, in particular about a short and fa t girl w h o lives on a kibbutz.<br />

M iss M iria m S chreiber and Mr. Raphael Berg: M iriam is a loud, dom inant m em ber of BASP.<br />

Frequently seen dow bing several pints w ith the lads at the Cavern, and leading the boys in a chorus of<br />

"W e are red, W e are w h ite , W e are f---in g d yn a m ite !" Her character in juxtaposition to her boyfriend<br />

Raffi is a stric t contrast. Raffi spends most days w andering aim lessly in his flared jeans and Jesus<br />

sandals, handing out leaflets or nuclear disarm am ent w ith an olive branch entw ined in his long,<br />

flo w in g hair.<br />

M r. A n th o n y G runfeld: Tony, th is m ysterious, enigm atic character is alm ost unknow n in the<br />

U niversity. His lofty, m anly fig u re moves silently in the corridors. His reclusive, introverted m anner<br />

happily com bines w ith his room m ate, and from th e ir room in Resnick 3 gentle, lyrical m usic subdues<br />

these tw o naturally quie t individuals.<br />

M r. E lliot G rossm ith: Elliot, a natural rugby player, w hose low intellect only allow s him to read<br />

trashy novels, and to listen to heavy m etal. But Elliot has suffered m uch during the program due to the<br />

lack of contact w ith home, especially his m other, w ho has forgotten his com plete existence.<br />

BASP 25 Years On<br />

o<br />

O<br />

The decaying beer-stained w a lls of the Cavern Pub rem em bered a tim e, long ago, w hen m erry<br />

laughter, yards of ale and rugby songs bellow ed a sym phony to the sounds of "M a d D og"Ted Cooper.<br />

But, BASP '8 9 had long since departed, scattered around the w o rld to rebuild th e ir lives after 6<br />

m onths of sex, drugs, and rock and roll (for those lucky enough to get it). The Cavern w as left empty.<br />

U ntil tonight.<br />

Sporting a rather obese beer-belly, in came Daniel "I like my b e er" Kingsley hotly pursued by Justin<br />

Donn, w ho had been devoting the past 25 years to rem oving the scars from his face and transferring<br />

them to th a t of his fo rm e r room m ate.<br />

M rs. M iriam Berg arrived alone, apologising fo r Raffi's absence, due to him having been jailed for<br />

m assacring 5 children. Peter had been sent to jo in him fo r bigamy. As the party got underw ay, Simon<br />

reflected on the Camels he used to smoke, but n ow rides, and on the lovely tim es w ith Princess Lisa.<br />

W h ilst Oppy w as still trying to dow n a pint in one, in burst old EC-Tel, rem em bering his days as a<br />

com m ander in the IDF and the rivalry that there used to be betw een him and Jonny "I love A rsenal”<br />

Abram s. Rabbi Cantor could be seen quietly praying in the corner, apparently still m uttering chants of<br />

W ales under his breath. M aking a late entry, in strolled Big Ben, w ho can now no longer Dong on the<br />

hour every hour.<br />

Huddled quie tly in the corner; Emma, Eddie, Sally, and Jo w ere catching up on every bit of gossip<br />

missed over the past 25 years, oblivious to th e fact th a t Adina was s till m issing — or had she sim ply<br />

gone to her sister? Tara took the opportunity to announce th a t she had ju s t divorced her seventh<br />

husband, w h ils t M andy announced that she had to leave — her m other w as having yet another baby.<br />

Jon had fin a lly m arried O livia — or w as it Alison? We never could quite rem em ber w h ich one w as<br />

w h ich! G rynny had ju st been moved from the A ussie Bar for w earing his country's flag instead of a<br />

gow n.<br />

A nd so w e leave BASP of '89. The Cavern Pub w ill certainly never be the same again.<br />

A Semester in the Life...<br />

As the Aussie "convict” mob sauntered wearily off the airport mini-bus, they weren't prepared to<br />

be stifled by the "David Niven", very cultured British lads and lasses. Little were Aussies to discover<br />

that the Brits were actually a bunch of closet meat-head, beer swilling, cavern obsessed alcoholics<br />

and sex fiends. This was only the beginning of what proved to be a very happy association<br />

Yoel, our director, G-d and F-letter perpetrator carefully defined our status at our first BASP<br />

meeting — we were a special group of hand picked individuals, in contrast to the past groups, who had<br />

given BASP such a horrid reputation. Yoel had difficulties competing with Pete, Marc, and Simon's<br />

(Goldstars in hand) raucous laughter. I don't know about the hand-picked bit, but we were definitely<br />

individuals. Ask Sara Anton, whose phobia about her eyeballs popping out and being stepped on has<br />

made her subject to extensive group counselling. Pete, "Alio, Darling, I'm a homosexual" Clements<br />

was completely unaware of the potency of his utterance when interjecting in Tali’s self-description —<br />

Pete to Tali — (interrupts) "You are gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous". We all thought Tali was<br />

completely unimpressed, as indicated by several shades of red Little were we to know that the direct<br />

approach would lead to infatuation.<br />

Brits and Aussies mixed, friends were made, romances blossomed (Lisa and Simon had achieved a<br />

head start by taking advantage of the flight to Israel), and roommates thrown together to discover each<br />

others filthy and intensely annoying habits, characteristic smells, etc. Habits ranged from blowing<br />

one's nose into ones extended y-fronts, farting, burping, accumulating vast quantities of rubbish,<br />

terrorising each other, and feeling the crazed impulse to plaster ones walls in Goldstar bottletops and<br />

Camel cigarette packets.<br />

I wonder if our parents know what we’re doing here. Proudly, I can state that we adhered strictly to<br />

our contract. To "gambling, drunkenness, and the use by anyone of every illegal drug is strictly<br />

forbidden in the rooms or dormitory grounds." This is testified to by poker evenings (Tuesday nights)<br />

and Simon (where's the Vaseline) Usikin’s mysterious fainting spell one particular "sick" evening.<br />

Rumour has it that he was suffering from "gastro-entoritis" and is said to have undergone a liver<br />

transplant at Hadassah Hospital. Another gambling performance was made at the infamous Cavern,<br />

where "rubber-guts" Oppenheim broke the world record for downing, then upping, a pint of beer. Will<br />

Tony Grunfeld ever forget the beach party, or will he ever remember it? Also, it is rumoured that<br />

Grynberg is opening a bar and a la carte restaurant with Elliot. We certainly know why we're here — to<br />

have a good time and, hopefully, acquire some wisdom and knowledge along the way. Unfortunately,<br />

most BASP students suffer from a perpetual identity crisis. Unfortunately, no one knows who we are,<br />

besides Yoel, who wishes he didn't know who we are.<br />

A typical scenario:<br />

Librarian — What programme are you on?<br />

BASP student — BASP<br />

Librarian — What? Mechina? OYP? 4YP?<br />

BASP student — No... BASP (emphatically).<br />

Librarian looks quizzical and eventually concedes to write down "BASP"<br />

Certain prominent people on campus deserve a special mention. Andy, a great guy, who constantly<br />

has exams and an elusive wife. We're slowly trying to council him through his difficulties. Andy is<br />

usually good to go to with problems, especially when he innately responds "F---off, I've had 10 exams<br />

today."<br />

Some lecturers w ill remain with us forever. Lily Pollack, Israel's South African import, is also<br />

known as the Voice of Israel. Shrieks of Zionism at 8:15 in the a.m. are poor elixirs for "sick" Monday<br />

night Cavern hangovers — BASP students nauseously clutch their throbbing heads in one hand, and<br />

cups of coffee in the other. Mr. "the diagram is wrong" Sapir is our intrepid Historical Geographer.<br />

We're finding finding the course really difficult. Apparently, next week the course is being terminated.<br />

Mordechai understated Middle East Nisan — what can I say?<br />

The odd dose of illness, sickness, disease, are all synonymous with living under each others asses.<br />

The chicken pox epidemic is soon to lead to the establishment of a BASP leper colony, kindly founded<br />

by Justin Donn, Katy Filer, and Mark Jutsen.<br />

Luckily, BASP students can escape the campus to the "Hyatt". What would we do without that<br />

revered edifice? Ourv last bastion — of luxury. BASP specimens can regularly be seen hanging around<br />

in sportsjackets or swimming costumes in this now familiar environment. Synonymous with this are<br />

visiting parents which, in turn, is synonymous with a good feed.<br />

BASP students are soon to change their names to "the jet-set". Hello Egypt, Greece, and Turkey.<br />

Hello mum and dad in England, we couldn't stay away from you a whole 5 months. Wait, I'm sure<br />

Mandy's still on the plane to Australia, she left a week ago. Was it a boy or a girl? From the regular<br />

pilgrimage to Dahab, many of us have learnt the meaning of pissing out of our asses. Now, the Brits<br />

have found their pigments to proudly display at home.<br />

Yes, when we head for our respective homelands, how will we ever forget the loud, impatient<br />

American family in the Post Office, the extremely cute little red-headed counter woman at the<br />

supermarket, schnitzel and pasta 7 times a week, Olivia nakedly exposing herself to Justin's parents,<br />

love triangles, shabbat meals at the Kotel, French boyfriends, scares of being kicked off the course, and<br />

the Cavern.<br />

If not next year in Jerusalem, then I'll see you soon in Sydney, Melbourne, London, or Manchester.<br />

BASP: Egyptian Impressions<br />

Egypt revealed an array of im pressions, ranging from the life-style, politics, and body odour of the<br />

people. The predom inant ones are as follow s;<br />

My firs t encounter w ith one of the natives involved the "Essence Experience". Here, an overly<br />

friendly Arab offered to show my group his "h o s p ita lity ". Our host escorted us into a back room w here<br />

he displayed a variety of perfum es, trying to sell them . W e'll never know w h e th e r the Ralph Lauren,<br />

O pium and M usk w e purchased w as the real thing, or sw eat sm elling alcohol<br />

By the end of our trip, Sim on, Bary and I had transform ed into Salem, Barook and Machm ond. We<br />

searched the streets fo r stray foreigners, trying to im itate our Egyptian counterparts. Even w ith our<br />

Fergs and Turkish trousers, our act w as less than convincing.<br />

On the tra in to Luxor, I w as left w ith a rem arkable im pression of a cultured Egyptian attitude to<br />

Israel. Having asked th e guard his opinions on th e Israel-Egyptian entente, he thought for some tim e,<br />

and replied "s ix ", and started te llin g me the names of his fam ily. I then got out a map and re-phrased<br />

the question, w ith graphical back-up. Finally, he expressed his sentim ents, "Israel is s h it".<br />

Luxor w as the adventurous-sm okers paradise, w ith innum erable Egyptian tobaccos to offer in the<br />

many w ater bong stalls. The m agnificent carpet shops, the old men riding by on donkeys, and the<br />

com plete neglection of tim e, created a scene out of the Arabian Nights.<br />

Further South, in Asw an, the m ain attraction of Abu Simbal w as aw e-inspiring. However, to get<br />

there and back w ith o u t tu rn in g into a pool of sw eat presented a problem . During a stop by our taxi, Ben<br />

and I w alked o ff into th e desert, in te n t on having a yellow w in e com petition. My active result, closely<br />

follow ed by Ben's am ber deposit reflected our respective dehydrated situations.<br />

The feluka journey back up the Nile w as so enchanting, you alm ost forgot you w ere caught up in a<br />

violent, chaotic, M iddle East. A m em orable m om ent occurred w hen, after our ears had taken th e ir fa ir<br />

share of our Nubian captain's ballards, w e gave him a W alkm an w ith Fleetwood M ac's "T u sk" in it. He<br />

didn't take the hint, and resum ed w ith renew ed vigour.<br />

Back in the rom antic and aesthetically pleasing capital, w e encounter a frig h te n in g aspect of<br />

Egyptian life, nam ely the attitude to tim e. The "L e t's G o" guide confidently states th a t the average civil<br />

servant w orks fo r 27 m inutes a day, m ost o fth e m as considerate, publicly aware tra ffic policem an. On<br />

the subject of cars, a Cairo taxi journey makes a 23 bus trip through the Arab village during Ramadan<br />

one to look fo rw a rd to. A t one point, I caught sight of a guy on a bike carrying bread loaves on his head.<br />

He w as sw erving from side to side, w eaving his path through an autom obile m inefield. We watched,<br />

and our expressions changed from fe a rfu l anticipation of the inevitable collision, to subsequent relief<br />

as another vehicle w as safely avoided. The man him self rem ained facially em otionless, as though his<br />

| fate w as m ore in the hands of Allah than his handlebars.<br />

An Egyptian resum e is not com plete w ith o u t com plim enting its culinary delights. A lthough<br />

ן<br />

tem pting food w as never fa r away, w e nevertheless decided to bid our budgets adieu and make for the Ramese H ilton Buffet. Visa, you saved my life that night. Never again w ill I launch a com plaint against<br />

shnitzels or tuna-salads.<br />

A ll in all an interesting fo rtn ig h t, my friends and I had no qualm s agreeing w e w o u ld n 't send our<br />

I fu tu re m o th e r-in -la w s there.<br />

BEASTIAL COUPLINGS<br />

W hen the gorgeous Rosalind A u stin assem bled on one program the most desirable, cultured and<br />

gorgeous Englishm en and som e less than virtuous English roses and the A ustralians sent out their<br />

usual rag-bag collection of convicts, BASP u n w ittin g ly lit a fuse that exploded, quite lite ra lly and<br />

prem aturely, in the classic rom ance of the Beauty and the Beast- nam ely the delicious and yum m y<br />

Simon Usiskin and the luscious Lisa Spotnick. A m idst bottles of Toppex and vaseline and inane<br />

laughter, they found each other in the uninhibited euphoria of a rom antic birthday reunion. Lisa<br />

expressed her undying love-physically m anifested in the external love sym bolism of a lum inous<br />

frisbee, a toy bat and deeper still, a kite. Love flourished and trium phed in Resnick. Hee-hee!<br />

For M onique Barda, it was, in the im m ortal w ords of the great Oscar W ilde, a question of "The<br />

Im portance of Being B arry". Resisting the charm s of every Mark, Mark, and Mark, she aw aited the<br />

arrival of her knight in shining arm our. She w as not to be disappointed. In the genre of farce the<br />

im m ortal Barry, hobbled, a painful testes operation later to proclaim "Is mi B arry" and you are the most<br />

"Is h ta r" w om an I have ever beheld. However, as Shakespeare w isely observed: "The course of true<br />

love never did run sm o o th " and the gorgeous M onique w as to find a rival fo r Barry's affections —<br />

Ralph Lauren. The fa iry-ta le rom ance, though, happily reached its beautiful conclusion. Spurning the<br />

polo player, Barry professed his love for the ravishing M onique over a rom antic shw arm a, in the exotic<br />

setting of Ben Yehuda Street.<br />

A u stralians have a reputation fo r the hedonistic pursuit of the pleasures of life, and th a n kfu lly we<br />

w ere able to rely on Mark Grynberg to uphold his tradition. His love fo r the petite and sensual Rachel<br />

w as never in question and as he rained flow ers upon her, many began to question his A ustralian<br />

m eathead ancestry. However, M ark proved him self to be a true Aussie, w hen during an illic it poker<br />

evening in his favourite state of inebriation, he im m ortally declared: "A royal flu sh of hearts is better<br />

than p— ." Bob Hawke expressed all of our feelings w hen he presented Mark w ith a drained w hiskey<br />

decanter inscribed: "G ood on yer mate, You'd make a great Prime M in is te r"<br />

However, not all in the m erry ranks of A ndy and Yoel's BASP program m e, w ere im m une to the pain<br />

and heartache of unrequited love. That noble and chivalrous lover of an all but forgotten age, Marc<br />

Oppenheim, in a dignified and essentially British game of chess pondered the unpredictable<br />

vicissitudes of life and love. In a bold and gallant attem pt to capture the perfect beauty of the Queen, he<br />

found him self checked by both moves of Rook and Bishop. And so he was stale-m ated, however, w ith<br />

indefatigable spirit and the help of 14 year old G lenm oranje he ponders his next move.<br />

U nfortunately, the confines of 10 pages w h ich A lison so valiantly w on for all of us do not a llo w for a<br />

detailed account of the num erous BASP rom ances- so a fe w w ords on the rem aining w ill have to<br />

suffice.<br />

There was:<br />

M ark Israel and Kim Pryer, the clandestine lovers of Shakespeare's "Romeo and J u lie t".<br />

Becky Birk and her fam ous French lover, Henri, w hose passions came to an abrupt end w hen they<br />

said a touching "A u R evoir" at the cam pus laundry.<br />

Raffi and M iriam w h o consum m ated th e ir love at an A rm y Base in the W est Bank w ith an M 1 6 and<br />

an Uzi sub-m achine gun.<br />

Of course, w e m ust not forget (how could we?) those w ith absentee lovers. A fter m onths of pining<br />

and subjecting us all to relentless and dull stories of th e ir boyfriends, Olivia, Sara, Jo, Eddie, and<br />

Emma w ere reunited w ith th e ir boyfriends. Hoping fo r a little respite, our illusions w ere soon<br />

shattered, w hen on their respective departures the pining chorus for Jon, Simon, Richard, Daniel and<br />

Steven recom m enced, only m ore vociferously th is tim e.<br />

Having ju st w ritte n th is a rtic le , I have at last found ju s tific a tio n fo ra long, nurtured theory of m inenam<br />

ely there is no such th in g as love- only a quick bang follow ed by a long nag.<br />

SINAI<br />

It is 10 p.m., on one of Jerusalem 's coldest and rainiest December nights of the year. Long gone are<br />

those unbelievable sum m er days, w hen everyday w a s fille d w ith nothing but blue and cloudless skies.<br />

Instead, tu rtle necks, long johns, jeans and sw eatshirts are a must, for hail is forecasted th is Shabbat!<br />

So w h a t does one do in a situ a tio n as such? Remain in the cold and dreary dungeon like floors of<br />

Resnick? These are questions th a t need no hesitation. For w here do Hebrew U niversity students go to<br />

to escape the w in te rs calling... South naturally, to th e outrageous beaches of Sinai. This w as exactly<br />

the solution my frie n d s and I w ere seeking that m iserable December night.<br />

W ith our backpacks and sleeping bags in hand, we w ere off to Tel-A viv to catch the M idnight Bus<br />

from Hell to Eilat. This w as not our firs t tim e through the process, so w e knew to beat the early<br />

m orning Sinai crow ds, and w e n t through custom s like true veterans. However, as many tim es as you<br />

cross the border fro m the Is ra e l/E ila t side, you w ill alw ays experience the heebie jeebies. Eilat is a<br />

com pletely developed, w esternised, to u rist trap, fo r Europeans, second sem ester Hebrew U niversity<br />

students, and yes, you too South A fricans! To ׳Sinai w h ich is never-ending m ountains, the aqua-blue<br />

Red Sea, and its untouched, unpolluted beaches.(That my friends, is w h a t it takes to create paradise).<br />

You'll notice only one road to all of S inai's destinations, and nothing in sight but tents and hovels. We<br />

are talking pre-historic age w h ere even the Flinstones w ere m ore advanced.<br />

The tw o areas of Sinai to w h ich one can journey, are th e ever-popular Dahab, and my personal<br />

favourite, "B lu e B us". Dahab is a collection of beachfront cafes, rocky beaches, th e Red Sea and its<br />

m agnificent coral reefs on display. If you are lo o kin g fo re xcite m e n ta n d "lo ts " of interesting travellers<br />

to hang out w ith from all over the w orld, then Dahab is the place for you. Dahab has probably one of the<br />

greatest collections of coral reefs on the Sinai coast, therefore snorkelling is a m ust and should be<br />

repeated often. You w ill also have the honour to m eet som e of A m erica's greatest in uniform ... the<br />

courageous MFOs, w ho w ill attem pt s u chJife threatening feats as opening tw o M illers and one<br />

Heineken beer blindfolded. I salute you boys, for doing such a good job w ith the peaceful situation, and<br />

your iron stomachs.<br />

If you w a n t to escape S inai's "tre n d in e s s " for some real peace and quiet, and avoid any annoying<br />

Hebrew U niversity students w ho are constantly clim bing up and down cam els for stupid photos, then<br />

journey to Nuweiba and the Blue Bus.<br />

W here else can you be am ongst Bedouins, and be invited back to one of th e Bedouin's shacks on<br />

the beach? (Understand, th is is fo llo w in g a session w ith Ishm ael, and the piece-de-resistance w ith<br />

M oham m ed. If w e w ere talking in baseball term s they w ould no doubt be my th ird and clean up<br />

batters... I'm talking... "O u t of here".)<br />

A fte r my th ird tim e to the Blue Bus M oham m ed, Ishm ael, and Issau became my adopted fam ily.<br />

A fte r my fifth tim e to the Blue Bus, the locals decided I, too, had Bedouin blood in me, and I w o u ld now<br />

be referred to as "M oham m ed A li".<br />

On my last trip to the Blue Bus, we w e n t down prepared — six bottles of vodka and plenty of goodies<br />

to give to my "adopted fa m ily ". N aturally they w e n t nuts, psyched to see us, and in m inutes ran to the<br />

kitchen to cook one of th e ir many cuisines. W edid w h a t isalw a ysdone in Sinai: playshesh besh, sit in<br />

the blazing sun, snorkel, toss the disc, sw im , and the ever popular m ale-bonding sport of deep sea<br />

dipping and dum ping.<br />

A nother sixteen pages could be w ritte n on Sinai experiences, but let us ju s t end by saying w hat an<br />

experience Sinai is — sittin g in a Bedouin's prim itive shack drinking tea to the background music of<br />

Pink Floyd's "W ish You W ere H ere"<br />

This article is dedicated to M oham m ed, Issau, and especially you Ishmael, fo r I thank all of you for<br />

m aking every Sinai excursion an adventure and a half.<br />

The travels of overseas students, made possible by ample breaks, have taken them all over this area<br />

of the w orld. Some of us have let our bug fo r travelling take us to not so traditional destinations: Israel's<br />

Arab neighbours, w h ich are still officia lly at w ar w ith our adopted home for the year. These countries<br />

include Jordan, Syria, and Iraq. The d ifficultie s to get to these places are not few . First, since m ost of us<br />

had evidence of Israel in our passport, we had to get new passports issued from an A m erican embassy<br />

outside Israel. Next, one m ust cross over to these countries. Jordan is the obvious starting point since<br />

it is a m e llo w country th a t essentially has ,'u n o ffic ia l” peace w ith Israel. It allow s passage through the<br />

A lle n b y /K in g Hussein Bridge on the pretext that you are co m in g /g o in g from the W est Bank, not<br />

Israel. Illogical, huh? You can also cruise dow n to Nuweiba in the Sinai, get a diffe re n t kind of stoned<br />

than in Israel, then hop a fe rry to Aqaba, in Jordan. Once in Jordan, you fin d w h a t many of us consider<br />

our favourite sight: Petra. It is an incredible place, so we w o n 't try to describe it. Just look at the pics<br />

and go before it is too overrun by obnoxious tourists. As w as said, Jordan is a friendly, m ellow place<br />

w ith a guy running the show w ho looks conspicuously like Sean Connery. He also has a very blonde<br />

w ife w ho doesn't look of the Arab origin she claim s to be. I guess good old Hussein knows how to pull<br />

the right strinc s, huh? W hat a dog!<br />

Now, Jordan is the logical jum ping off point to Syria and Iraq, but people have also gone via Turkey<br />

to Syria. Syria is som etim es d iffic u lt to get a visa fo r if your passport looks suspicious — such as having<br />

a brand new one issued in Istanbul. Supposedly, they a re n 't as strict anym ore. Syria does provideyou<br />

w ith probably the biggest rip -o ff in the travelling w o rld w h e n it com es to exchanging money. You must,<br />

as they sa y,"kin d ly exchange $100 US at the border." Now the catch is you get 11 pounds to the dollar<br />

at the border, 20 at the bank, 45 at the black market, if you can fin d it, (Syrians get 15 years in ja il for<br />

dealing in it) and 70 to one dollar in Am m an, at the bank. Pretty screwed, huh? Also, hotels m ust be<br />

paid in dollars. A ll th is aside, Syria is an interesting country. A llepo and Damascus have beautiful old<br />

cities. The m ountains and coast have nice scenery and interesting sights. There is much history in<br />

Syria. Some of us loved th £ place, some of us th o u g h t it not w o rth the bother to see. The people are<br />

very nice and helpful and probably all of us w ere invited to som eone's hom e at least once. Secret police<br />

are quite evident. The general reaction was: glad I w ent, glad to be out.<br />

Iraq provides a very unique travel opportunity, having only opened its borders to travellers in<br />

January. It is a controversial place, to say the least. This is a place to look, listen, and learn. Baghdad is<br />

a pleasant, m ellow , M iddle Eastern-city. The Kurdish north is very beautiful w ith people in traditional<br />

dress. The south is w here the w ar devastation is. It w as a shock to see the devastation in such m ajor<br />

cities as Bosua. Some of us visited the form er fro n t lines. It w as sobering. Babylon, the old historical<br />

sight, is being reconstructed "to its fo rm e r glo ry", but looks cheesy — not a great place to see. Iraq is<br />

d irt cheap, if you exchange m oney in A m m an and sneak the m oney in. You get 2.2 diners to the dollar<br />

there w h ile only 0.33 to the dollar in Iraq. The best deal w as o v e rn ig h tfirs tc la s s s le e p e rtra in s fo r $2-<br />

3. The place seemed frie n d ly to some of us, but others had hassles w ith the police. Basically, the<br />

reaction to th is place w as the same as for Syria.<br />

I'm sure all of us w ould say our travels to these countries w ere rew arding, but not w ith o u t some<br />

paranoia and fear (more fo r one of us than others). W e all gained valuable insights, got to see more<br />

than enough pictures of Hussein, Assad, and th a t dem agogian d -—head Saddam Hussein (this<br />

a u th o r's unsolicited opinion), and came out w ith a vie w of countries fe w people in our position get to<br />

see.<br />

J A BUG FOR TRAVELLING


W ell, it had been a tough year on the One Year Party. A fte r spending "h o u rs " in the library every<br />

day firs t sem ester, w e needed to get away. We decided th a t 3 weeks in S w itzerland and Italy w ould<br />

provide the relaxation w e needed. On our flig h t to Zurich, w e w ound up in Business Class instead of<br />

Tourist Class — so far, so good. During our week in Switzerland, w e had many... w ell... "in te re s tin g "<br />

adventures. First of all, w e found out th a t S w itzerland is a very trusting country, and w e proved that<br />

North A m ericans a re n 't used to that. W e alm ost got arrested for not paying for our 50 cent bus ride.<br />

Luckily, playing th e dum b to u ris t eventually worked. W hen w e got to Lucerne, w e stum bled onto<br />

Carnival — a w ild tim e, to say the least. W e got drunk on free cham pagne by 10:30 a.m. and danced<br />

through the streets w ith the tow n people dressed in elaborate costum es. But by far the most<br />

exhilarating m om ent on our trip w as skiing in Zerm att alongside the M atterhorn. It w as one of those<br />

m om ents to brag about back in th e States. Being in Italy w as especially exciting for me since my mom<br />

w as born there. It w as like going back into her childhood. In Trieste, w e stayed w ith my aunt fo r a few<br />

days, w h ich w as nice, but sort of stressful, because she speaks no English and w e speak no Italian.<br />

But, of course, w e knew all the food w ords, and food is one of those international languages. From<br />

Trieste, w e made a day trip to Yugoslavia — one more stam p for the old passport! Venice w as very<br />

rom antic and due to our lack of m ale com panionship and shortage of funds, w e only spent a day and a<br />

half there. In Florence w e m et up w ith a fe w more One Year Programers and even did a bit of the art<br />

scene (many, m any renderings of "M adonna and Bam bino"). D efinitely th e scariest city w e w e n t to<br />

w as Naples. W e'd never encountered so m any lecherous men — not even in Istanbul. We made sure<br />

w e spent as little tim e there as possible, making day trip s to Pompeii and Capri — both incredible<br />

places. We finished up our trip w ith a fe w days in Rome. W e explored the ru in s o f A ncient Rome, w ent<br />

to Vatican City (we even heard the Pope speak, although w e co u ld n 't understand a w ord he said) and<br />

browsed in designer shops w here w e could never afford to buy anything. We also got the opportunity<br />

to go to Friday night services at the Great Synagogue and have a Shabbat dinner w ith an Italian Jew ish<br />

fa m ily (pasta a n dchallah — a great combo!). W hen w e got back to Israel, w e had lots of great m em ories<br />

and w ere ready once again for the rigours of the OYP.<br />

M y soul sank slow ly in an alley<br />

near the w all<br />

in the rain<br />

In the darkness shadows danced<br />

And I saw yesterday and tom orrow<br />

W here exactly w as I?<br />

I’m not entire ly certain<br />

But the rain obscured my vision<br />

Heavenly tears upon my glasses<br />

W alking on<br />

Sounds of running w ater<br />

Darkness in the light of<br />

Jerusalem beneath my feet<br />

I w atched my life pass<br />

Like an actor in a movie<br />

Lit a cigarette — tossed the match<br />

In the shelter of a long black coat<br />

And hat<br />

In Jerusalem<br />

Holy enough to let the rain pass through<br />

And find me even here — alone —<br />

W ith my back against the w all<br />

And tim e stood still<br />

Ju st long enough for me to look another tim e<br />

A t life —<br />

And love -<br />

A ghost man w alking<br />

Smoke is rising<br />

In Jerusalem<br />

Richard M aisel


The questions I get asked the m ost outside of Israel are: "Is it safe? A re there riots?" People have a<br />

hard tim e d istinguish ing betw een the areas occupied by Israel in 1967, those under Israeli m ilitary<br />

adm inistration, and Israel itself. For us studying at Hebrew University, the W est Bank is always close<br />

at hand. The university is surrounded by East Jerusalem and from here it is possible to lookout across<br />

the desert and see the hills of Jordan rising from Judea. Because of the Intifada, the Palestinian<br />

uprising th a t started in December of 1987, the W est Bank has not been a popular destination fo r us<br />

students. Some of us, however, made trips. I found it im possible to live here in Israel and not make an<br />

effort to see w h a t w as going on in the W est Bank and Gaza, w here Israel controls a m illion and a half<br />

Palestinian Arabs. I made trip s to the W est Bank on about 10 occasions: 3 tim es to Nablus, tw ice to<br />

Hebron, to Jericho, Bir Zeit, Bethlehem , and Ramallah It can be a very scary experience. You leave<br />

Jerusalem in an Arab-shared taxi. Im m ediately, the only signs of Israel th a t you see are the army. All<br />

signs are in Arabic and English. It takes tim e to pass through the m ilita ry checkpoints. Every w a ll in<br />

sight is covered w ith n a tionalistic g ra ffiti th a t the arm y has painted over. W alking through the tow ns<br />

everyone stares at you. There are no tourists, but people are fantastically friendly. They invite you to<br />

th e ir homes for a meal, to drink tea, then w alk you around tow n until they see an arm y patrol. Then,<br />

they vanish into alleyw ays, because they are afraid to be seen w ith you. The atm osphere is tense, and<br />

w hen the stores close th e streets become deserted. W e once ran into the arm y teargassing the m arket<br />

in Nablus. It is like being in a w a r zone at tim es. But the experience w as w o rth it because despite th e ir<br />

circum stances, th e P alestinians hospitality and friendship shone through.<br />

Josh Schwarcz


JERUSALEM<br />

In the place w here David w alked on cobblestone highw ays<br />

I hear the voices of th e sages call my name<br />

In the city of G-d, I feel his love surround me<br />

And I know som ehow I'll never ever be tn e same<br />

Chorus:<br />

Oh, oh, oh Jerusalem (come on now...)<br />

Oh, oh Holy City w alls<br />

Oh, oh, oh Jerusalem<br />

I can hear the call, I can hear your call.<br />

And I recognise the grand illusion<br />

And find reality has caught me by surprise<br />

I fin a lly com e to the conclusion<br />

That the answ ers to my questions<br />

W ere right before my eyes — I'm singing...<br />

And the w o rld keeps tu rn in g<br />

And the people dizzy in th e ir flig h t<br />

Can't seem to see the tru th through<br />

S e lf-inflicted night<br />

Lots of bodies happy, but th e ir souls are dying slow ly<br />

W hen all they need is to be fed on som ething holy<br />

Chorus<br />

Take another look now at the w ay th a t you've been living<br />

W hat are the reasons for the life th a t you've been given<br />

Are you ever w in n in g at the games that you've been playing<br />

Can you find your peace of m ind in the w ay that you're behaving<br />

PRODUCTION BY GEFEN LTD. <strong>1989</strong>


GOING HOME<br />

If ever there w as a tim e in my life I w as afraid of leaving friends, fam ily, or a beautifu l city, it is now.<br />

Thoughts of th is past year pass through my head — thoughts from my heart. So as I w rite , I rem em ber<br />

the in itia l fears I encountered w hen I arrived to this, th e greatest of all places on earth. H ow it is<br />

d iffic u lt to im agine leaving a city w h ich has offered so m uch to so m any young, aspiring students.<br />

Often, these students joke about th e ir year as being a One Year Party. Perhaps th is is true to some<br />

extent. However, th is year has provided us w ith so m uch more than a sim ple party.<br />

Like a single, burning flam e, 650 strangers came together and shone for perhaps the most<br />

rew arding tim e of th e ir lives. Each w ith his ow n story, each w ith his ow n unique background,and each<br />

w ith so m uch to offer. That one year couldn't possibly be enough tim e to express him self fully. Yet,<br />

during th is tim e, enough w as shared to create a single u n it of love and friendship. As w e reflect upon<br />

our firs t days in Jerusalem , it is im portant to rem em ber all our accom plishm ents and the dream s w e<br />

made real. For everyone adapted and lived in th is not-so-strange culture, and made the m ost of<br />

enhancing th e ir tim e in th is very special place.<br />

Upon your a rrival home, do not dw e ll on the sorrow of a year's end. Each one of us is part of a group<br />

th a t can never be replaced in our hearts. As th e tears begin to w ell in your eyes, th in k not of the year<br />

past, but of th e experiences th a t allow ed you to grow and become a com plete individual. W hen you<br />

attem pt the im possible of explaining your year to those at home, do not feel frustrated because no one<br />

understands. S im ply rem em ber th a t there are 650 others w ho w ill alw ays understand. As I bid<br />

farew ell to the fa m ily I have created, I w ill not say good-bye, but rather, good-day. For f am confident<br />

th a t som e day w e w ill m eet again and say “ S halom ":<br />
