Young Judaea's senior Massada, Bogrim and Magshimim groups met recently to inaugurate their program. Over 60 youth between the ages of 14-19 attended at the home of the Ames Boys.
Matti Golan, Judaean leader, described what has been termed as "the best organized and tentatively most successful year" in Young Judaea's history. Many among the record turnout at the Kumsitz applied for volunteer counsellor work.
An informal meeting of old and new friends followed Mr. Golan's talk. Many representatives from other Zionist groups were welcomed and evinced a marked interest in the program. Young Judaea hopes to sponsor a number of inter-club activities.
Special guest of the evening was Mr. Sam Kaplan, publisher and editor of The Jewish Western Bulletin, who presented a fascinating story on how he came to meet David Ben-Gurion in Israel recently. Part of a special tape on which Mr. Kaplan had interviewed Mr. Ben-Gurion was beard, followed by a question and discussion period.
Outstanding decorating both on the Friday evening and on Sunday afternoon for the Judaean Rally was the handiwork of David Komar. J.N.

positions. There is great need for a collective effort on the part of the community, educator, group worker, Federation personnel and camp people to meet and try to solve the staff problem. Proper staff are the sine qua non for carrying out the objectives of Jewish camping."
The report—^which is of a preliminary na;ture and is still being revised—^was very pessimistic in trying to answer certain key questions. It stated: "From the point of view of Jewish continuity and the monetary investment of the Jewish commimity in its educational enterprises, the prime question is whether or not we are exploiting the camp as a Jewish educational instrumentality. Are Jewish camps fulfilling their commimal obligation?"
"Unfortunately," the study declared, "most of the questions must at present be answered in the negative." The questions included fulfillment of Jewish communal obligations in the camps, sufficient communal return from communal investment, and the relationship between the Jewish
camp and the Jewish school. Observance of kashrut and the Sabbath in the Jewish summer camps were also studied in the survey. It was shown that 29 percent of the camps that receive communal funds fail to observe kashrut. Only 58 percent of the camps reported Sabbath regulations; 81 percent reported some form of Oneg Shabbat; 71 percent reported having Sabbath services^ Daily religious services were reported as being held in 32 percent of the camps.
In addition to recommending more communal attention to Jewish camps and to their programming in Jewish content, the study mader these other recommendations:
1) Inclusion in the curricula of

Hebrew teachers colleges of courses in group work with an orientation to camp staff work;
2) Efforts to convince social v/orkers who direct Jewish camps "of the need and value of introducing Jewish programming in their camps";
3) Creation of a central agency, such as the AAJE, which should give serious consideration toward the development of a camping department with a professional con-sulation staff;
4) Organization of an association CT council of all Jewish summer camps, which is to hold annual conferences;
5) Making federations and welfare funds more aware of the importance of the Jewish summer camp and its right to communal support; and
6) Insistence on the fact that, if the community invests in camping programs, the camp programs must include Jewish programming and mugt, as a minimiun, recognize two basic Jewish principles: observation of kashrut and of the Sabbath.
