More than 200 delegates and observers from 34 countries will gather in Arad, Israel from July 24-31 for the 15th triennial congress of the World Union of Jewish Students. The main topics on the agenda are Soviet Jewry, the Middle East conflict, Zionist ideology, the situation of Jewish students in the diaspora, religious and secular problems in Israel, the relationship between Jewish students and Jewish organizations, and aliya. A tour of the country has also been organized for the delegates. This will be the first time since the Six-Day War that so many Jewish students from widely different backgrounds will gather and discuss together their future.
