Knesse t ca l l s f o r a r es ta temen t o f t he f r eedomswhich citizens of this country enjoy.

There Is the freedom to vote for the party ofone's choice. And let it not be dismissed lightlyfor we are the only country in our region, and oneof a diminishing number worldwise, that grantsthis fundamental right of a democracy.

We are also privileged to be here at all, to participate in freely casting our votes. Behind the IronCurtain and within the sealed borders of severalArab countries, there are Jews who can only lookwith lortging towards our land. Both the Sovietand Arab governments will not even grant themwhat we consider an inalienable right to freelyemigrate to the land of one's choice.

There was hardly a time in the long and torturedhistory of our People when we were not deniedthe basic freedoms that other men. women andchildren took for granted. Long before the Nazis,before the Inquisition, before Antiochus "Epipha-nes", before Nebuchadnezzer. we were deniedrights granted to others not of our faith. The rightsof Jews to be enfranchised and to be elected werenot always granted at the same time as they wereto non-Jews; our rights were again fought for andgranted piecemeal.

Now, more than 32 centuries after Joshua ledour ancestors into a land which is centrifugal toJudaism, we are masters of our own house andfree to determine our own destiny.

This makes it all the more incumbent uponcitizens of Israel to cast their votes in the forthcoming elections. Abstentions on the groundsthat one vote cannot influence the outcome is aMlittling of the right to vote and an insult to those^isoners of 2ion abroad who have bartered theirfew remaining freedoms for their defiant demandto be allowed to l ive with us.

Some countries, notably Australia, have madelegal provision for penalizing voters who do notcast their ballots at all. Similar legislation herewould mean that we regarded the precious rights

we aspired to for so long as of little concern tous now. This would be a betrayal of the dreams, ofso many Jews from many generations before us.The right to ignore the right to vote is a luxurywe cannot afford and a disgrace we dare notpermi t .

Advice for Immigrant LawyersBy Setwyn J. Musikanth B.A.. LLB. (Cape)

Editor: Selwyn Musikanth, a former Wyn-berg lawyer, came on aliyah with his wife, Ber-nice, and daughters Lynn and Shirley, early lastyear. After attending Ulpan Ben-Yehuda in Ne-tanya they moved to Raanana where they nowlive, Selwyn is currently in Articles with theDistrict Attorney's office in Tel Aviv and hopesto be admitted at the end of October this year.

Generally speaking. South African lawyers arediscouraged from requalifying in Israel — not bythe lawyers here, but rather by the relativelystringent tests imposed by the Israel Bar to seeto it that only the competent and dedicated enterthe profession. These tests involve a high cost intime and money.

Timevyise, it is clear that from the purely practical point of view an experienced South Africanlawyer cannot requalify here in less than 15 months

Assuming he/she has a basic knowledge ofHebrew, the aspirant may pass the initial Hebrewlanguage exam set by the Israel Bar after fivernonths at an Ulpan. Passing the exam is a condition precedent to commencing Articles. In practice,the minimum period agreed to by the Israel Bar iseight months. (Depending on the circumstances,the period can be as much as two years.)

In addition, there are a number of Statute Lawexams. Whilst the South African lawyer receivescertain exemptions, he/she must still write approximately seven exams.

In the light of the aforegoing — the times whenthe various exams are written, the times whenAdmission Ceremonies take place, Klita (Absorption) problems etc. — it is probably correct to saythat it will take the average qualified South Africanpractitioner approximately 18 months to requalifyi n I s r a e l ,

Moneywise, it speaks for itself that the incumbent Israeli lawyer will have to finance requalifyingto a certain extent. The Articled Clerk receivesapproximately IL.1500 per month while a familyneeds approximately IL.4000 per month to live onmoderately; it's all a matter of simple arithmetic.I am probably understating financial considerationsand It suffices to say that requalifying has adefinite price.

The high cost in Time and Money is certainlyvvorth the effort to those dedicated to the profes-sion. The relatively short term strains are outweighed by the long term benefits, as many doorsclosed to the immigrant lawyer during the formative years in Israel become open when he/sheadjusts properly to the society and becomes reasonably fluent m Hebrew.On the positive side it should not be forgottenthat on the basis of Time, with the exception ofEngland, it is easier to requalify in Israel than inany other country in the world by virtue of the factthat the South African qualification to practise asan Advocate or Attorney is recognized as suchby the Israel Bar.

The prospective oleh who seeks to requalify oru® f" Advocate should clarify the position with the Israel Bar at 2. Hasoreg Street, Jeru-

fcrLT'J should be mentioned that inIsrael there is no distinction between Solicitors andBar r i s te rs andAdvocates on the other).

The only advice I have to offer is to come ona®^P°ssible. In our profession moret i l k ? y o u n g e r o n e s t a r t s h e r ethe better, as the older one is the more difficult

may be able to represent others — which is themam function of being an Advocate.

Keeping up with the Jones'K e e p i n g u p w i t h t h e J o n e s ' n o w a d a y s m e a n s

moving to a kibbutz to be part of a rural, deeply-mot i va ted commun i t y ! Those who remember S tanas a top Sal isbury accountant and his wife, Babs,as teacher-cum-act ive WIZO worker, wi l l find themas genial as ever and immensely happy in thecompany of their children and grandchildren.

The transition to active kibbutzniks began unwittingly a decade and a half ago when their eldestof three sons, Avi, came on a three-month youthv i s i t t o I s r a e l .

Avi, now a member of Kibbutz Ein Hashofet, andhimself the father of two sons and a daughter, putshis first impressions of Israel crisply: "1 felt athome and at ease with my Jewish identity." Whilestudying at the Ulpan on Ein Hashofet he met andlater married Tetma, a daughter of the kibbutz. Agraduate In geography and statistics from theHebrew University in Jerusalem, he is currently ona year's sabbatical from the kibbutz high school,s tudy ing maths a t Oran im.

Stan and Babs followed in his footsteps someyears ago — Stan becoming financial comptrollerof Peltours Travel Agency while Babs commutedfrom their rented Ramat Gan apartment to the TelAviv University to read for her B.A. in EnglishLiterature. As Pesach approached this year she wasputting the final touches to her theses in 1&thcentury English Literature for her M.A.

Now. after a year in the sylvan setting of Kibbutz Ein Hashofet, Stan and Babs are readyingthemselves for another simha; Barry, their secondson, who IS a member of nearby Kibbutz GanShm l, and his Swiss-born wife are expecting theirfirst-born in the summer. The youngest of the threeJones sons, 6'2" Simon, 19, is halfway throughhis national service in the Air Force.

Stan and Babs have integrated so well that it'ssecond nature now for them to rise with the sun —Babs sometimes starting her English lessons atthe regional high school on the kibbutz as earlyas 6.40 a.m. Stan works in the accounts department which, on Kibbutz Ein Hashofet handles millions of lirot from the huge turnover in the truckingbusiness, orchards, dairy and beef herds and factories manufacturing screws and parts for neonlights.Their living quarters don't differ much from thoseon kibbutzim throughout the country: compactlounge, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. But theyhave some creature comforts which point to thekiobuu beirig a financial cut above many others:each house IS centrally heated, has TV with electric cables leading to one central antenna to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the kibbutz, andhas a stereo record player.

The kibbutz — lying high up on rolling landscapebetween Megiddo and Haifa, with a fine view ofMt. Hermon on clear days — has an Ulpan whichnearly always numbers students from South Africa-

currently studying here are Karen Heiman and Me-l a n i e F i n n .

Other fac i l i t ies wh ich make i t a k ibbutz out -o f -the-ordinary Include a swimming pool, auditoriumwith seating capacity for 1000 — drawing leadingperforming artists of the likes of Leonard Bernsteinand the Is rae l Ph i lharmonic Orchest ra — a smal lzoo, horses for trail riders and a number of playgrounds with imaginatively created swings, carousels, cars and tractors.

"We love it here," said Babs as she gesturedwith a grand sweep to the enormous JNF forestsof pines and cypresses around the kibbutz.

Stan, well-known to Israel's golfing community,has hung up his woods and irons but looking fitand heal thy.

"It's a big change from the cities but we haveour family here and have made very good friends,"be said.

Language doesn't present a problem either as*nany of the founders of Kibbutz Ein Hashofet camefrom the United States.

It's just gone a year since they made the move —but Stari and Babs are beginning to feel as ifthey've lived here all their l ives.

Focus on: a challengThfs country still has much to offer those who

are seeking a challenging and meaningful way oflife. Some of these challenges may require sacrifices and hardships; others merely require a smalldose of pioneering spirit. The South African ZionistFederation (Israel Committee) is happy, to offerthe young South African families with the latterquality, an opportunity to make a new life forthemselves.

Nestled in one of the most beautiful parts ofthe country is Moshav Shitufi Neot Golan, over-looktng the placid Kinneret just 10 minutes driveaway, and under the watchful eye of Mount Harm o n .

The young Israeli families who founded thismoshav in 1969, lived for three years in a temporary camp until they moved onto the site onthe southern Golan Heights, some 12 kms fromthe point where the Israeli, Jordanian and Syrianborders meet, in 1972. Today they number 20fami units which, after discussions with the Jewish Agency Settlement Department and the 'Fed'have agreed to accept another 20 South Africantamilies over the next four years.

We regard ourselves as very fortunate in this

respect as Moshav Shitufi has become a preferredway of life for many olim from South Africa —something which is in short supply In Israel. Ourfortune extends even further as housing is alreadyavailable and we hope to start settling our firstfamilies in the next couple of months.

So, who are we looking for? We want youngfamilies (the average age on the moshav Is between 27 and 29 years old) who believe In thecommunal way of fife of a Moshav Shitufi, andwho are prepared to contribute their share of toiltowards this fast-growing meshek. We want families who feel the need for and who want todevelop the Golan Heights. And we want familieswho desire to share their satisfaction of contribution to the country, with their neighbours.

What does the meshek offer in return? A visitto the moshav wilf tell you all. You will see the83 square metres, three-and-a-half roomed housestanding on a 400 square metres plot of land. Youcan spend an hour travelling through the lushfields where four different crops are grown, andadmire the orchards of fruit trees. For those whofancy a touch of the old "western", the cattleherds Uor beef), and the accompanying cowboyson the hillsides will seem to be exciting. The noiseemanating from , the four turkey runs verifies theexistence of 16.000 birds produced twice a year.

Don't get me wrong. We are not selling a holiday farm! We are offering a difficult, challengingway of life. And not everyone who applies is ac-cepted. The procedure, which includes medical andgraphological tests, a week's stay on the moshavand personal interviews, is a straight one. Oncehaving passed this, the family is accepted for ayear s candidacy, during which time the personworks for three months in each branch. To befinally accepted as a member, two-thirds of themembers present at the General Assembly mustvote in the candidate's favour.

In addition to* all this, the prospective membermust look at Neot Golan as a prospective home.I he facilities and services are all-important Acreche and kindergarten on the moshav and primary school up to grade two in the neighbourinqregional centre of Bnei Yehuda, serve the 33 children of Neot Golan (the oldest children are 7-8years old). T^e doctor and nurse from Bnei Yehuda three kms. away — visit the moshav twicea week but are on call every day. For emergencies,the ambulance — which is permanently on thernoshav — can reach the nearest hospital in Tiberias, 40 kms away, in reasonable time. Neot Golanboasts its own resident dentist who serves thewhole area. The recreational and sports facilitiesinclude a flood-lit basketball court which doublesas a tennis court, and a club hall plus an espressom a c h i n e l

The monthly familybudget is calculated in an involved way, so sufficeit to say at this stage that it covers the family'sdaily living expenses. Iri comparisori with otherm o s h a v i m I t i s q u i t e g e n e r o u s f o r a m e s h e k s oy o u n g .

Ideologically, Neot Golan is aligned with the OvedHatzioni Movement which does not propogate astrict philosophy in regard to communal living. Afamily is entitled to set up home iri accordancewith i ts taste and means. There is no objection tothe ownership of private cars as long as the family can afford the upkeep. The basic principle couldbe seen as one al lowing almost anything, providedthat too great a social gap is not created betweenmembers. No one may work off the meshek, andat the moment work fo r women i s vo lun ta ry, bu tthis may change soon to compulsory work.

FROM THE BOOKSHELFTHE ARAB BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL by Dan 8. ChHI.P raege r Pub l i she rs , New York . I L29 (pape rback ) ,I L . 9 5 ( h a r d c o v e r ) .

This recent addit ion to Praeger's Special Studiesse r ies o f t op i ca l , compac t books on sub jec ts re *lated to Middle Eastern Economics, is by a highlycompetent and experienced attorney and publicist,with backgrounds in the U.S. and Israel, and pres*t ig ious academic qual ificat ions.

It is a study of economic aggression, and theau tho r does no t sh i r k f r om eva lua t i ng A rab sue*c e s s e s a n d f a i l u r e s i n t h i s e c o n o m i c b a t t l e fi e l d o ftheir own choosing.-

I remember how some twenty years ago, in adrab committee in Johannesburg, israel Dunsky,now a popular figure in Kfar Shmaryahu and otherparts of the country, and then Chairman of theS.A. Zionist Federation, requested a handful of usto gather in order to formulate a counter-boycottprogramme. When I look back on that meeting,and having read Chill's book, which although effective and well-documented is by no means comprehensive, I <Jon*t know whether to laugh or cryabout how naive we were in those days.

Even at the time of the infamous Lord Mancroft— Norwich Union Global Tours episode, thirteenyears ago, Israel and world Jewry was hardly assertive in stating the rights of a country, a people,a company and an individual to practise the freetrading which the free world was, and still is,preaching.

Fortunately, even the instances quoted by Chill

in his study are sufficient to prove that wherewe put up a fight, we nearly always won, in the end.T h e r e a r e s c o r e s o f c a s e s t o w h i c h C h i l l r e f e r s ,and which he analyses intelligently and briefly,which have become precedents for commercialguts and nat iona l pr ide.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, I s r a e l ' s o f fi c i a l a t t i t u d e t o t h eArab boycott has been somewhat ambivalent, andthis too is brought out in several chapters of thebook, particularly where Chill reports blandly howin 1971, the Israel Government decided to closeits Political-Economic Planning Division and to disregard the Arab boycott! No wonder Chaim Herzog,Israel's Ambassador to the U.N., is sometimes derisive about our tactics of lying low and sayingl i t t l e .

It is of course correct that on one front oranother, diplomatic intervention with the Arabs isadvisable in order to point up to them the deleterious effects of their boycott and the boomerangingbuilt-in risks of such a policy. But by and large,and this, too, is brought out in the book, as in thecase of the Mexican vote against Israel in the U.N.and the subsequent effectiveness of counter-measures taken by organised Jewry and Israel actingIn concert, only loud, clear and unequivocal stepsto punish those who wish to use the boycott weapon are truly effect ive.
