producer, Cliff Solway; correspondent, Michael Maclear

First of a two-part program concerning the internal problems facing the nascent nation of Israel. Includes footage of a shipload of Romanian immigrants arriving in Israel, being processed and distributed to rural and urban areas. Issues examined include: the imbalance between skilled and unskilled immigrants; the efforts of the new society to compromise with old traditions; the decline of religious fervour in favour of a greater national identity among citizens; the rising popularity of the co-operative system of farming over the communal kibbutz; the social and educational divisions that have arisen within the population; and the assimilation of recent immigrants into the army, which every citizen in the 18-40 age group owes two years service. Michael Maclear acts as writer-correspondent. <30mn>
