Speaking at the opening session of the 34th international AZA convention, which was attended by 150 delegates from the United States, Canada and Britain, Lefcoe said the present situation was something like "taxation without representation." "We are asked, and in some communities are high-pressured, into giving without having even a single voice in determining where our dollars are given," he said, asserting that BBYO "contributes thousands each year." He urged not only a voice for Jewish youth on local federations but also "in the religious life" of the Jewish community as well. He asked synagogues and temples to "demonstrate their true interest in youth and youth's opinions by giving us representation" on their boards.

Stresses Participation In accepting the invitation of the Beth Am Center, Rabbi Bonder stated: "It is my intension to make the services, within the traditional framework, both meaningful and inspiring to those who will attend. English readings, musical responses and the maximum pai ticipation of the vorshippers will be emphasized.
