Yeshivah President Describes
Children's Love of Tradition
.Editor, The Jewish News:
Detroit children love to learn
Torah and Jewish traditions.
You may see this fact estab-
lished statistically in the record
of growth of Yeshivath Beth
Yehudah. The 120 enrollment
with which we opened our class-
room building on Dexter seven
years ago is now over 600. The
seven children who started our
day-school five years ago have
grown to 255. Our populafity, in
fact, is now embarrassing. Some
80 or 90 children are waiting to
study in the Yeshivah—but we
lack 'funds to set up classes for
them.
Or you may see most vividly
the child's delight in forming a
link with a 3000-year past when rael
you visit one of our classes. Sup-
pose you should walk into one
of our Kindergarten classes on
a Friday afternoon. The chil-
dren are preparing a Sabbath

night festive board.
