greater emphasis on the con-
tributions of Yiddish to Jewish
culture and daily living. With
the focal point in the present,
we select from the past those
materials which will illuminate
and enrich our experiences.
Therefore the curriculum in-
cludes: Community life in De-
troit, America, Israel and the
world; Bible and history; Yid-
dish and Hebrew; Meaning of
traditions and holidays; Litera-
ture—Music, arts and crafts,
dancing and dramatics are the
means through which the pro-
gram is being implemented.
The school's facilities enable
the child and his family to en-
joy social, cultural, educational
and recreational activities to-
gether. Enrollment is open to
the entire Jewish community.
