MONTREAL-
At almost any Jewish public gathering in Montreal, a group of youths in blue "cha-lutz" uniforms are likely to make their appearance^ deploying themselves at strategic pomts, ready to prevent ajdisruption.
According to Dov Kaufman, their leader; 'these youngsters are trained in karate and first-aid and would rush to Uie aissistance of a "besieged" synagogue or Jewish school, invited or uninvited.
The B'nai Yehuda (Sons of Judah) is a Montreal based ^ youth organization with a. membership of some 150 Jewish boys and girls ranging in age from 13 to25,Kh9 3 are dedicated to "the pres- " ervation of Jewish Identity .4*.^ Protecting Jews from anti-Semitic violence is "the only thing we have in common wiUi ttie JDL," says Kauf- ^ man, liimself an ex-JDt/ member who helped disband J th^ organization in Montreal. "Our philosophies are totalr ly different," he stresses. Kaufinan conceived the B'nai Yehuda three years ago.
"We are against any political group or religious organization' or cultural tendency which alienates Jews from Judaism or Zionism," says Kaufman. . He explains ttiat the B'nai Yehuda aims for the involvement of alienated Jewish youths and to interest them in a new or stronger sense of Jewish identity through educational programs. Its' ultimate objective is to have ■ them go on aliyah.
Kaufman stresses the or-ganization is "anti-Communist, because Commun-^ ism makes non-Jews or even anti-Jews out of Jews." The ' kids are looking for a cause -' and they get drawn-in by the ; Hare Krishna people or into the Jews-for-Jesus move-;m'ent; we want to help them ~ return to some form of in- ^ terest in Jewish life."
The B'nai Yehuda is not a political or religious organization, claims Kaufman. Although its members are highly indoctrinated and conservative, he maintains they come from all sides of the -poUUcal ispectrum, and that the group contains both fe-ligious and non-religious people.
Moreover, one of the B'nai Y^uda's concerns is "get-ting people off drugSi" The youngsters regularly, meet -for a couple of hours every /evening ^xcept Fridays. Kaufman says attendtoce is always fiiU, as discipline is stressed. "Bad apples," may be.eq>eUed irom^the group. . t .V.

their heritage and resist assimilation."
The educational program includes lectures on Israel. "UnlUce Uie. Shillchim, we don't give a rosy picture of Israel, we tell it like it is," says Kaufman, who believes that "every Jew should live in Israel." ,
When Kaufman conceived
Uie B'nai Yehuda he had difficulty In getting the funds necessary to get It underway. After a year of seekhig support, the idea interested Ltd.-Col. (Ret.) Joel Wolfe, president of the Zionist Organization bf Canada eastern region, and then the B'nai B'rith. Later, a fOundtog rally was called and 100
