The

Jews in the Dutch Antilles

AMSTERDAM —What is the Jewish community in the Dutch Antilles like? According to a receni traveller there, it is quiet and orderly but wholly separated from world Jewish affairs ot Zionism. 1. S. de Vries, an Amsterdam lawyer who has headed the United Israel Appeal in Holland tor the past 10 years, told a (London) Jewish Chronicle correspondent that there were 250 tamilies on Curacao and 35 on Aruba. On Curacao, the Sephardi number among the oldest and most respected members ot the community. Most ot their ancestors arrived m iw island in the mid 17th century. Those that have descendeo today have 'espected positions, many in bating, but not in the government or the professions. More than halt of Curacao’s Jewish population lives in the island’s only city, Willemstad.

There have been two congregations on Curacao for the past 100 years, Mikveh Israel, officially Orthodox, and Emmanu-El, which is Reform. Currently there are plans to unite the two congregations under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Simeon J. Maslin, an American-born Ashkenazic Reform rabbi. Their fusion will be easy because, according to de Vries, Mikveh Israel is only Orthodox in name, having chopped most Orthodox practices. TIk other large group of Jews on Curacao are Ashkenazic families who came from Rumania and Poland about 30 years ago. They own most of the textile shops in Willemstad and are not in the higher social registers, de Vries said. The 35 Jewish families on Aruba are also Ashkenazic and own shops on the island. The community recently built its first synagogue and center.

Kashrut, Facilities for Services Should be Checked at Colleges

The observation has been sadly made that Jewish College students, on the whole, have no int e r e s t in Jewish learning, customs, holiday observances or kashrut- The college years appear to be a time when Jewish interests are suborJUDY dinated to the students other pursuits. For the large majority of students, active Jewish participation takes last place on the totem pole. WE’LL EXPLORE this problem further some other tune. Today we’re interested in that energetic minority of Jewish students who haven’t the slightest intention of relegating Jewish activities to the last place in line. In particular, for those of you who are juniors or seniors in high school, we’ve drawn up a checklist ot things you ought to consider when choosing a college so that you will not be excessively hampered in your attempts to lead a full Jewish life while in college. 1. Opportunities to observe kashrut easily. If you are going to a large city, you may count on finding a fam-

ily with whom you can board (and room if you wish). You may prefer to live in the school dormitoriei. and just eat dinners with this family. In any case, contact the Hillel director oi your intended school or a rabbi of a large congregation in the city telling them of your wish for kosher meals. They will be happy to help you. Clearly, you are going to have an easier time in a large city than you will in a small town In some colleges there may be no Hillel Foundation or Jewish organization of any kind to help you. CO-OPS are popular at many schools. Several students eager to observe the dietary laws get together and purchase and prepare their own' meals at the Hillel kitchen or some other kitchen, with facilities for separate dishes and refrigerators. Other groups u/e fortunate enough to find that Hillel provides lunches and dinners for a small fee. Unless there is a demand for this sort of arrangement, it will not exist. I recall one boy at Northwestern some time ago who could find no one to share his kosher meals with him and ended up keeping his own kosher food in the Hillel refrigerator. Sounds like a lonely proposition. IF YOU are in a large city with kosher restaurants near the campus, you can eat most of your meals in the dormitory cafeteria and eat your meat dinners at these restaurants. During Passover, the cooperative method works well at many schools. While some students will not make the effort during the whole year, there seems to be a large group who wish to observe the proper laws during Passover. 2. Opportunities for Sabbath servancesFriday night meals in the beautiful tradition to which many of us are accustomed are difficult

to duplicate on many campuses. Some Hillels sponsor regular or occasional Sabbath dinners, depending on the number of interested students. If this is important to you, write to the Hillel director and request information on the matter. Students at Columbia and Barnard, of course, have the marvelous facilities of the Jewish Theological Seminary and those in Cincinnati can participate in Sabbath observances with the Hebrew Union College students. IF YOU MAKE plans in ad*ance, you can arrange to have Sabbath meals with a family in the town and then attend services with them, if the town you are in has a synagogue. Many excellent colleges are in towns noticeably lacking a rabbi or synagogue. Don’t overlook these problems when selecting a school for yourself. If Orthodox services are a must for you, you will be disappointed in the usual variety of Hillel students services, I can assure you. Make sure you will have an opportunity to attend services that will satisfy you. 3. Holiday observances. Often the High Holy Days come after school has opened Students don’t want to travel home after jus. arriving on campus, so gigantic crowds frequently turn out for the student services at larger schools. You may confuse the event with a fraternity mixer, rush party or fashion show, but at least you have an opportunity to pray if you are so inclined. (Pardon the sarcasm, but the behavior of students at those services is one of my pet gripes!) Next week we’ll continue this discussion. Meanwhile, if you have any questions or suggestions for Jewish teens who are college bound, please contribute them to Teen Talk, 1416 Arbor View Blvd., Ann Arbor, Mich.
