Our Letter Box

Lauds Hebrew Schools'
Teaching of Passover
Editor, The Jewish News:
Last week I had the pleasure
of watching studen.ts of the Phila-
delphia-Byron school go through
the ceremony of conducting the
Seder. It was a beautiful sight,
with several tables completely
set in the auditorium, with white
tablecloths, l e i c h t e r, matzos,
wine, moror, charoses. Every stu-
dent took part in some part of
the ceremony, under the able
direction of M. Lachover, and
the students took much delight in
reciting perfect Hebrew and sing-
ing the Pesachdik songs.
The story of Pesach is familiar
to all or us, but how sensible it
is that theHebrew schools tell it
so beautifully to their young stu-
dents. I also attended a typical
Classroom under the direction of
Mr. Elpern, where I heard each
child recite, among other things,
the "fier kashas."
These children really, know
what it is all about. They learn
to read the Haggadah and the
Torah, they know the meaning
of the ceremonials and above all
they are imbued with the spirit
of the holidays.
The child naturally asks ques-
tions concerning our people, our
religion, our history, our customs,
our observances, our festivals,
our ceremonies and our alphabet
and he is entitled to a great deal
more than the usual off-hand
brush-off manner of reply.
These Hebrew school children
will be better Jews and better
citizens, to serve God and their
fellowmen, proud of their know-
-ledge of Hebrew and not one of
the unlucky ones to whom the
Hebrew letter is something un-
intelligible. '
The pressure of assimilation is
very powerful in this country. A
child completely ignorant of
Jewish history and thought will
not create any Jewish way of
- life. Our children need the Heb-
rew school or little will remain
for them of a Jewish spirit per-
vading their life.
