A Junior College of Judaic
Studies will be established in
Ann Arbor, it was announced
this week by Albert Elazar, su-
perintendent of the United He-

Dean of the Jewish Theological
Seminary College of Jewish
Studies.
The new school, to be called
Midrasha, will be administered
cooperatively by the Seminary
College and the United Hebrew

Elazar and Rabbi Fox.
It is intended that the
Midrasha will meet the needs
of students currently enrolled

who are seeking an opportun-
ity to continue their Jewish
studies on the collegiate level.
The representative of the
Seminary College at the Ann
Arbor school will be Rabbi

Aggadah in the Seminary Col-

junior colleges to be established
