THE JEWISH NEWS

Yeshivath Beth Yehudah Outlines
Educational Policy in Statement

Yeshivath Beth Yehudah this
week issued a statement outlin-
ing its educational policy. The
statement follows:
"The Hebrew Talmudical
Academy Yeshivath Beth Yehu-
dah aims to give its . students an
intensive training in Torah and
to prepare them for Jewish liv-
,
ing in conformity with our re-
ligious law. Yeshivah 'eduCation,
therefore, has two-fold purpose:
to impart the knowledge of Bible
and Talmud and to develop a
healthy Jewish personality. For
the realization of these - objec-
tives, the Yeshivah employs a
thoroughly integrated cirriculum
and extra-curricular activities.
Instruction is given in a maxi-
mum number of hours by men
of tested pedagogical ability and
proven religious fervor, in an in-
viting physical environment and
through the use of the Most mod-
ern educational methods.

A Sad Spectacle
"For more than a generation
we have been witnesses to the
sad spectacle of the rapid disap-
pearance from Jewish life of that
complete personality, well versed
in our lore and zealously devoted
1, the upkeep of our traditional
institutions. The causes of this
decline are definitely to be traced
to the failure of those systems
of Jewish education which were
satisfied with a mininium • of
knowledge and practice. and,
therefore; could not possibly
train the children to follow in
the footsteps. of their fathers.

"While welcoming every sin-
cere effort for the extension of
Jewish schooling to all boys and
girls in our community, we are
nevertheless convinced' that the
future of a full-grown Jewry in
America depends upon those of
our children who will be willing
to overcome the difficulties in
the path of a complete Jewish
education and will be provided
with harmonious guidance from
early childhood through adoles-
cence to Jewish manhood.
Elementary Program
"In order to fill this need, to
meet the request of a large num-
ber of Jewish parents in our
community and to prepare stu-
dents for its advanced classes
where Talmud and Codes are
studied, Yeshivath Beth Yehudah
has carefully developed an ele-
mentary department. Yeshivah
education, from the very begin-
ning, imbues the child learning
the Aleph-Beth with the sanctity
of the Torah and a love for Israel_.
"It brings the pupil in immedi-
ate and direct relationship with
the two fundamental institutions
of Judaism, the Beth I -Iakneses
and the Beth Hamedrash, the
synagogue and the house of study,
Both the environment and the
teacher's attitude are conducive
to arouse in the student a sense
of pride in his Jewishness. In
the shortest possible time the

In the Bnai Brith ritual the
seven lights of the Menorah are
illuminated to the accompani-
ment of a special prayer. The
lights, in order, stand for LIGHT,
JUSTICE, PEACE, TRUTH, BE-
NEVOLENCE, BROTHERLY
LOVE and HARMONY, the lat-
ter three being the three virtues
which make up Bnai Brith's
motto.

pupil is introduced to the una-
bridged sacred texts, which are
explained to him in conformity
with the rich treasures of the
oral Law. Thus, the study of
dietary and Sabbath laws, the
feStivals and their prescribed
customs leads to the practical
observance of the Mitzvoth.
School for Girls
"The Ladies of the YeShivah,
in sponsoring the Beth. Jacob Re-
ligious School for Girls and the
Beth Jacob Kindergarten, are
working toward the above goal
in the field of the education of
the daughters of Israel.

"In its desire to achieve a con-
gruity of learning and living,
Yeshivath Beth Yehudah has
chosen a _ s its motto the words of
Aboth: 'Not theory but practice
is the aim of study'."
