THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH HADASSAII PRESIDENT
Community Participation FOODS TO REMEMBER
A Major Israeli Problem
by DAVID HOROWITZ
By LEAH LEONARD
NEW YORK, (AJP)—Getting
new immigrant—primarily from
Oriental countries—to participate
in community life is one of the
major problems facing Israel to
day.
This was revealed in a special
interview with Dr. Miriam K.
Freund, national President of
Hadassah, upon her return from
Israel last week.
“Community action is of great
significance for community
health,” she observed. “But for
community development, citizen
participation is of fundamental
importance. This fact is under
scored in Israel, where more
than 400 villages have been
established in eight years—vil
lages composed of immigrants
chiefly from rural, underdevelop
ed areas of the Middle East and
North Africa, where they were
incapable of self-government or
organized social action in the
democratic pattern.
“Hadassah, experimenting with
methods of community organiza
tion in the Israeli village, has
evolved techniques for the stim
ulation of leadership from among
the newcomers and the encour
agement of volunteer participa
tion by groups of village folk in
meeting their own daily prob
lems. This has been an activity
of Hadassah’s health agency in
closest cooperation with the ag
ricultural development organiza
tions and the Ministry of the In
terior.”
Dr. Freund explained that the
agricultural development organ
izations are primarily responsi
ble for the founding, construc
tion and development of the
Interior, responsible for the
smooth running of local authori
ty, takes over from the develop
ment organizations when the
village is “more or less” viable.
In the earlier phases of the his
tory of the village, the health
and welfare agencies cooperating
with the agricultural agency pro
mote the formation of citizens
committees for various purposes
such as education, health and
welfare, cooperative purchasing
and marketing, civil defense,
etc. “The pattern these commit
tees follow is determined by
need and the recognition of
need,” Dr. Freund noted. “An
invariable committee is the
elected local government com
mittee. The committees are guid-

ed and trained by the village de
velopment workers from the ag
ricultural agency in collaboration
with the community organizers
from the Hadassah health team.
The goal of this community
organizational work is a village,
stable, autonomous and versed
in ways of democratic and co
operative self-government. The
nearer a village progresses to
ward this goal the more likely
it will be to maintain its stand
ards of health and W'elfare. All
health agencies have a vested
interest in this development pro
cess.”
Dr. Freund stated that in many
neighborhoods of Jerusalem cor
ridor, community organizational
activity has entered deeply into
the daily life of the people. “The
most important product of this
activity is clearly in the fact
that the citizen himself is con
sidering his own community
needs and is helping to meet
them. This, of course, means that
he is learning how to meet his
problems and in doing so be
comes less dependent, more self-
reliant and resourceful and in
time places himself on a new
plane of expectation from life
and standard of living. This, in
effect, is the goal of Community
health work.”
In underscoring the import
ance of the Hadassah health
team to community organization
al work, Dr. Freund said: “A
single Hadassah health team con
sists of general physicians, fami
ly nurses and community organ
izers. It is trained to assess the
health and social status of the
neighborhood or village and de
sign a program accordingly. The
health team works in schools,
nursery schools, in the homes
with the family, with youth
groups, the older members of
the community, wherever it may
be needed. Under the previous
system of preventive public
health work the physician and
nurse were specialists in one of
several fields, such as child
health, school health, pre-natal
care and so on. "Today, the
health worker in the Hadassah
team has a general knowledge
of the needs of all age groups
and is, therefore, able to follow
the development of the individ
ual from conception to the last
days of life. Moreover, with a
wider view of the situation, the
health worker is for the frst
time able to track the manifold
forces in the family, and in the
community, which in the end de
termine a person’s health, stand
ard of living and happiness. The
health team is not only trained
to measure these forces but can
meet them through family and
community education and the
stimulation of agency or com
munity action.”
Dr. Freund stressed that the
intensive work of fostering com
munity growth and standards—
springing from the consciousness
of the Hadassah health team—
has given a new inclination to
services and agencies and to
community leadership. Social
problems which today still seem
so inevitable, may yet yield be
fore new methods of public
health and welfare work now
being sought in Israel.

Of course everyone knows that
pie is to the American cuisine
what strudel is to Jewish cook
ery. So, let’s try one of the
variations of fruit pie crust that
doubles for tarts when it is a
matter of individual desserts.
You’ll want to repeat this recipe
often for either, and use what
ever fruit filling fits in with the
menu of the day. Here is one of
our favorites:
ORANGE JUICE PASTRY
(For Pies or Tarts)
% cup shortening
2 cups sifted flour
Vi teaspoon salt
4 to 5 tablespoons orange
juice
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
Cut shortening into flour with
a pastry blender or two knives
till the mixture resembles small
peas. Add salt to orange juice
and stir into the mixture, add
ing the grated rind as you mix
till the dough forms a ball. Chill
in the refrigerator for 30 min
utes or while preparing the fill
ing.
For pie, roll out dough to 1/8
inch thickness. For a two-crust
pie cut dough in half first. Roll
out one and fit it into an 8 or
9-inch pie pan, leaving about an
inch overlap to be turned up and
fluted for a stand-up edge. Prick
bottom with fork. Bake at 400
deg. F. Cool before filling with
your selected fruit.
For square tarts, roll out half
the dough on a 12-inch square
of aluminum foil. Cut with scis
sors into 4 6-inch squares. Turn
up edges of foil-and-pastry to
gether, about lVi inches high.
Pinch corners together and trim
with scissors before fluting the
edges as you do a round pie
pastry. Use a fork to prick the
pastry to prevent uneven bot
tom and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake 10 minutes at 425 deg. F.
Cool before removing foil. Fill
each tart in turn after replacing
on cookie sheet till serving time.
Yields pastry for 2 open faced
pies or 12 tarts.

24 blue plums or soaked and
drained large dried prunes

soaking overnight and remove
pits after cutting in halves. Heat
sugar and water and boil 5 min
utes, stirring constantly till sugar
dissolves. Boil 5 minutes then
drop in plums and cook about 3
minutes or till just tender but
