Jewish students on 25 university campuses across the country will be challenged to ponder the universal implications of the kibbutz way of life when they host a traveling “Kibbutz Karavan” during the next two months. Muki Tsur of Kibbutz Ein Gev and co-editor of “The Seventh Day,” who conceived the Karavan plan, said that mindful of American students’ search for new social forms and new ways of communal living, the Karavan will recreate an archetypal kibbutz social structure and life style in the student centers. Tsur and Michal Kidron of Kibbutz, Zikim will lecture on various facets of the kibbutz, and a group of five Israeli singers and an American poet will provide dramatic readings of Israeli and Yiddish poetry and songs.
