S. African Zionists
Seek Accord on
Mission to Israel
JERUSALEM — A delegation
of leaders of the South African
Zionist Federation arrived here
Tuesday, presumably to discuss
the situation arising from Isra-
el's opposition to the apartheid
policy practiced by the Republic .
of South Africa.
The delegation is composed
of A. Horowitz, president of the
South African Zionist Federa-
tion; H. Trock, treasurer; and
Z. Infield, secretary. They were
scheduled to confer with mem-
bers of the Jewish Agency. It
was expected that they would
also confer with officials of the
Foreign Ministry.
19th Century Scholar
Zevi Hirsch Chajes, a 19th
century Polish rabbi, was one of
the pioneers of the modern sci-
entific study of the Talmud. His
major work was an Introduction
to the Talmud, explaining the
methodology of the Talmud.

(for
Communal Affairs:
Leaders in Jewish education in this country are no longer
boasting of an increase in the number of children attending
Jewish schools . . . There is no further increase foreseen for the
Jewish school year which started this month, as well as for some
years to come .. . The number of enrolled children in all types
of Jewish schools this year is about the same as last year . . .
The decrease in Jewish births and the increase in Jewish mixed
marriages are beginning to make themselves felt in the class-
rooms of Jewish schools . . . And although the number of pupils
in Jewish schools throughout the country will still be about
600,000 during this academic year, some 250,000 of them will be
attending Sunday schools only . . . Of what value can Jewish
education be when it is given only once a week for a few hours?
. . . It cannot penetrate deeply even if given several more hours
a week in afternoon schools . . . Especially if the dominant aim
is preparation for Bar Mitzvah, as is the case with the majority
of the Jewish pupils . . . Jewish education is of basic value only
when continued by children in secondary schools . . . Unfor-
tunately, of the estimated 300,000 Jewish children of high school
age, only about 40,000 receive any form of secondary Jewish
education . . . The majority of these are pupils of Jewish Ortho-
dox all-day schools . . . It is the Orthodox element in American
Jewry that succeeded in establishing a school system which- goes
all the way from kindergarten, through elementary school, to
high school and Yeshiva University or other Orthodox schools of
higher learning.

that President Kennedy requested that Israel refrain from scien-

its 24-megawatt reactor at Dimona would not come under the

training and research and the production of relatively unimpor-
tant quantities of plutonium, a weapons material.

The expedition, which will
remain at the site for six
months and will employ 200

abroad, will excavate the palace
on the northern edge of the
cliff which also served as the
last Jewish resistance strong-
hold against the Romans during
the Bar Kochba uprising in the
year 93 C.E.
Yadin, who expressed the
hope that the expedition will
result in important reevalua-
tions of the historical remains
on the site, will later super-
vise the reconstruction of the
palace destined to become one
of the leading tourist attractions
in Israel.
