American Zionist Groups Sponsor Eight-week Study Institute in Israel for U.S. Students

An eight-week summer institute of “work and study,” combining intensive instruction in the social sciences, Israeli affairs and Hebrew with residence and labor in Israel rural settlements, is being offered to U.S. students this summer “in a scheme of cultural reciprocity between the greatest and the youngest democracies in the world.”

This was announced today by Professor Goodwin Watson, of Teachers’ College, Columbia University, and Professor Benjamin Wolman, of Tel Aviv Teachers’ College, now visiting this country, at a joint press conference on the Columbia campus. Cosponsors of the institute are the Hechalutz Organization of America, Bachad Organization of North America–religious pioneers for Israel–and the American section of the Jewish Agency.
