stand of the Jewish Community
Council of Metropolitan Boston
against Released Time religious
instruction by voting to con-
tinue use of their synagogues
for the program.
The Released Time program,
in effect in Massachusetts for
18 years by act of the State
Legislature, provides for tak-
ing pupils from public schools
for one hour weekly to churches
and synagogues for religious
instruction. The Boston Bureau
of Jewish Education, on advice
of the Jewish Community Coun-
cil, has refused to provide Re-
leased Time instruction for
Jewish children.
Spokesman for the two con-
gregations said that while Chris-
tian denominations in Boston
have taken advantage of the
Released Time program since
its inception, "no similar pro-
vision has been made for Jew-
ish children for the past 11
years. Two months ago the Jew-
ish Released Time Committee
was formed to end this neglect."
The congregations argued that
a large number of Jewish chil-

Jewish religious instruction and
that the Jewish Released Time
committee was offering a direct
means to reach such children
and arousing their parents of
the need for religious train-
ing for their children.

Sunday Law in New Jersey

three-judge federal court that
the New Jersey state law on

observe Saturday as the Sab-
bath.

Released Time program had be-
come "an essential part of a
campaign conducted by religi-
ous educators destined to result
in the injection of more and
more sectarian religious observ-
ances into the public schools.
