dinner to Judah Lapson, director
of the Hebrew Culture Council
of the Jewish Education Corn-
mittee of New York, on March

Lapson was presented with an
illuminated scroll which cited
his devotion to the cause of the
advancement of Hebrew in the
public school system over the
past two decades.
He stated : "On completing
two decades in the life of the
subject in our schools we proud-
ly point to the fact that there
are over 5,000 students in the
high schools and junior highs

NEW YORK — American stu-
dents wishing to spend the sum-
mer in Israel have a choice this
year of two institutes. Each of-
fers varying combinations of
study, field work and guided
tours at a cost of less than $1000
including passage, it was an-
nounced by. Dr. Nahum Gold
mann, chair-man of the Ameri-
can Section of the Jewish
Agency.
The Agency's youth and chalu-
tziut department sponsors both
institutes; one jointly with He-
brew University and the other
jointly with the Hechalutz Or-
ganization of America in coop-
eration with Bachad - religious
pioneer movement - and the
Columbia University Study
Tours. Both are open to students
between17 and 35, and provide
academic credits.
The Agency-Hebrew Univer-
sity project stresses formal uni-
versity studies but includes a
two-week visit to agricultural
settlements and_a guided tour of
in both Hebrew and English, in-
the country. Courses, to be given
elude literature, Jewish history
and philosophy, IS-rael geogra-
phy and Near East civilization,
as well as a special course, ar-
ranged by the World Zionist Or-
ganization, on contemporary Is-
rael and Zionist problems. The
institute will run from July 3 to
Aug. 21 and will cost $980 per
student.
The other institute will stress
field work rather than formal
studies. Students will leave for
Israel in June and live for eight
weeks in different types of agri-
cultural settlements,
Persons desiring further in-
formation on either institute
should write to the Youth and
Chalutziut Department, Jewish

This North African Jewish youngster reflects the sad
plight of Jews in the Moslem areas. Her transfer and up-
bringing in Israel, as well as the immigration of 150,000 other
homeless Jews in 1950, are tasks which American Jewry must
carry through with funds contributed to the UJA.
and about 1,500 students in our
municipal colleges now study-
ing modern Hebrew.
"During- the past 20 years, I
believe that a total of some 50,-
000 students have taken advant-
age of these courses. This work
has given courage to several
other cities to launch the sub-
ject in their own high schools."
