“Israel Week” is being held at this ancient university town by the Cambridge University Israel Society. A special event is scheduled for each evening this week, including lectures, a forum on the kibbutz, a session of Israeli songs and donses and an Israeli wine tasting session. The entire event is organized by student volunteers who are paying for the expenses out of their own pockets. They have also seen to it that the many book shops in the town are displaying material on Israel and Zionism.
