Mendelsohn-Levy
Troth Announced
Suggests Macabees Academy
Editor. The Jewish News:
As an enlightened and pro-
gressive group, the Jewish Com-
munity has overlooked the need
for our youth in military
careers.
This has been a grievous
omission. Although we have
developed leaders in every field
of endeavor, we have scarcely
done so in the military field.
True, we have had our war
heroes; but few, if any, have
chosen the military as a career
in peacetime. Why not? The
Jew is no longer a non-aggres-
sive nor a pacifist member of
society. He has fought for his
life and the life of his country
all over the world. He has dis-
played ingenuity and fortitude
in Israel. Never, since the time
of the Maccabees, has he been
called upon to fight so often as
in the past twenty years.
My suggestion is to create a
fund, operated through the sub-
scriptions of American Jews,
to send young boys to military
academies throughout the coun-
try. Spiritual guidance could be
provided either by military
chaplains or by local commun-
ity Rabbis. Applicants would be
accepted on the basis of scho-
larship and financial need. The
curriculum in these schools is
broad. Students are given mili-
tary training and physical fit-
ness instruction in addition to
their academic studies. The
period encompasses the fourth
through twelfth grades. We
would hope that our outstand-
ing students would go on to
military or police colleges.
This rough plan would be a
double-edged endeavor. W e
would be taking boys from
broken and under-privileged
homes off the hands' of our
welfare agencies, and turning
out good citizens.
