Israeli Race Merger
ConfWmed by Patai
By NEAL FRIEDMAN
Dr. Raphael Patai, director of research at the Theodore
Herzl Institute in New York said last night that despite the
vast differences in backgrounds between the races in Israel
today, there is evolving a merging culture.
Patai said there are two basic groups of immigrants in
Israel—those from the West (east
ern and central Europe), and
those of the East (the middle east
ern Moslem and Arab countries).
Patai spoke on "Israel Between
East and West: A Study in Hu
man Relations" at the second of
three lectures in commemoration
of the 10th anniversary of the
founding of the State of Israel at
the Hillel Foundation last night.
At present, said Patai, the
population of the country is
about evenly split between the
two groups, but due to the high
er birth rate of the Eastern
peoples, in aboui another 1 0
years two-thirds of the poputi
lion will be of Eastern descent.
One - of the major problems Is
rael faces today, Patai said, is the
assimilating of the Eastern peo
ples into the population. The
Easterns come mainly from small
villages, whereas the Westerns
come from large cities.
The European fam i I y is also
vastly different from the Middle
Eastern family. In Europe the
family consists Of the parents and
minor children. The middle East
ern family may number more than
50.
Polygamy is permitted and the
father, while the head of the
family, may live with several
wives and all of their children.
In addition, a son brings his
family to live with his father
when he is married.
When this large family is
brought to Israel, economic con-

'S ANNUAL SPRING CARNIVAL with its many attractions, ranging from panel and quiz shows, days of the wild frontier, and sus
detective scenes to the thrill of the ferris wheel and other an'usements, attracted students and residents of State College and the sur
to the TM field for an entertaining evening. -
litions prevent the whole family
from.living together and in most
cases they are all not able to
nractice the trade which has been
passed on to them for generations.
i'n lieu of this, they must work as
unskilled laborers, which often
forces the women to work also.
Petal. said the Western culture
will play a predominate role in
the creation of the new culture
except in the field of the arts.
Pattiz said he does not foresee any
conflict resulting from the merg
ing of cultures, but rather sees
them existing shoulder to shoul
der and slowly becoming one.
