developing a creative Jewish life
in this country, only if the Jewish
community accepts Jewish educa-

sibilities facing it today.

nual meeting of the American
Association for Jewish Education

Meeting simultaneously with
the national laymen's organiza-
tion fostering Jewish education
was the National Council for

the sessions were held jointly.

`Eternal Light' Stories
Cover Wide Jewish Field

Both the technique of the work
and the content of the stories
mark Morton Wishengrad's "The
Eternal Light," recently issued by
Crown Publishers, as an outstand-
ing work.
The author's introduction, which
outlines the technique of radio
writing, will be found most valu-
able by students preparing for
radio work as well as the aver-
age reader who is interested in
the form of preparing scripts and
plays for radio presentations.
The stories included in "The
Eternal Light" embrace a wide
Jewish field. Biographical and
historical material is amply
covered. Outstanding personali-
ties like Mendelssohn, Brandeis,
Rabbi Israel Salanter and many
others are among those covered
in the interesting scripts.
Hasidic tales, holiday themes
and current issues are featured in
the volume. Among the Outstand-
ing plays is "The Battle of the
Warsaw Ghetto."

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Segal of 2447 Glynn Ct., has
been awarded a two-week camp-
ership to Camp Metamora, of-
ficial Girl Scout Camp of the

who excell in leadership, co-
operation and scholarship.
Judith is a member of Troop
230, meeting at Roosevelt School
under ' the direction of Mrs.
David Arnold and Mrs. Sidney
Alexander Jr.

The keynote of the meetings
was struck by Dr. Abraham Neu-
mann, president of Dropsie Col-
lege, who said: "we have within
us the means to create in Amer-
ica a Judaism that will be a syn-

thesis of all past Jewish civiliza-

tions, not transplanted, but creat-
ed in the spirit of America. It
will be a Judaism that will spring
from and be native to the soil of
America making its contribution
to the whole land."
Speaking at the same session,
Dr. Horace M. Kallen, professor
of philosophy and psychology at

the New School for Social Re-
search, said the central communal
agency for Jewish education, "a
relatively new phenomenon in
American Jewish life has become
art important factor in the de-
velopment of a creative Jewish
life in this country."
