Jewish education is not one, bit all of these things. In ancient days. illiteracy amongst our people was almost as disgraceful as crime or sin. Maimonides admonished: - Every man of Israel is obliged to study the Torah. be he poor or rich. well or afflicted. young or very old and feeble. Even a poor man living on charity and going about seek- ing alms. must set apart periods. day and night. for study of the Torah. And thus he must do until the day of his death. for when- ever he fails to devote himself to study. he is sure to forget." If Israel is to survive on this hemisphere. Jewish education must be a major communal activ- ity. How can we do away with Jew- ish self-hate? The answer is: by helping our children to develop inner defenses. Let us teach the child to re-live Judaism from day to day. to share in all its glories. in its wonderful history. in its re- ligion, in its customs and cere- monies, in its aspirations for n. homeland. Let us tell them again the stories of the Prophets. the he- roism of our forefathers.
