mentary, secondary and higher
schools of learning is a threat to
the very existence of the several
Jewish school systems in the
United States," he report said.
The conference adopted a
resolution urging amendment of
federal income tax, laws to per-
mit parents of children attending
full-time religious schools to de-
duct from their taxable income
a portion of funds spent for tui-
tion to such schools. The resolu-
tion stressed that such an ar-
rangement would not infringe on
the principle of church-state
separation, but "would ease the
present unfair burden of double
taxation on such parents at rela-
tively little cost to the federal
treasury."
In another resolution, the dele-
gates urged the Jewish federations
and welfare funds "to provide ade-
quate support for commercial He-
brew schools through central com-
munity agencies for Jewish edu-
cation" and to provide adequate
facilities for such schools "to meet
the needs arising from changing
conditions in the Jewish commu-
nity, particularly from the current
mobility of the Jewish population."
The delegates also urged the
American Association for Jewish
Education to organize the com-
munal Hebrew schools of the
United States and Canada "into a
national federation to advance and
strengthen the communal school
movement."
Dr. Samuel Dinin, vice-chancel-
lor of the University of Judaism in
Los Angeles, addressing the con-
ference, proposed that the organ-
ized Jewish community create a
fund of $5,000,000 to be used sole-
ly to strengthen Jewish education
in the United States, particularly
in the recruiting of young people
for careers in Jewish education.
Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfield, di-
rector of the Department of Edu-
cation and Culture of the Jewish
Agency in New York, urged the
Jewish educators to seek to correct
the "inadequate and sometimes
distorted" ideas held by young
American Jews. He told the dele-
gates that such ideas constituted
"a caricature of Israel and its
meaning for American Jewry."
Dr. Alexander M. Dushkin, pro-
fessor emeritus of the Hebrew Uni-
versity and former executive vice-
president of the Jewish Education
Committee of New York City, dif-
fered with the prevailing view that
Jewish education in the United
States now had not improved over
the past 50 years.
Dr. Judah Pilch of New York,
director of the National Curricu-
lum Research Institute and chair-
man of the project, reported that
a chair had been established in the
Institute of Contemporary Jewish
Studies at the Hebrew University
under sponsorship by the National
Council for Jewish Education
through an Alexander M. Dushkin
Fellowship.
Hebrew Day Schools
Start $10,000,000 Drive
FALLSBURG, N. Y. (JTA) —
Representatives of the 300 Hebrew
day schools throughout the United
States and Canada decided to es-
tablish a National Torah Fund
Campaign with a yearly goal of
$10,000,000 to cover the annual
deficits of the schools and to pro-
vide capital financing for construc-
tion needs in line with the expect-
ed growth during the coming
decade.
In a resolution adopted at a na-
tional planning conference spon-
sored by Torah Umesorah, the
National Society for Hebrew Day
Schools, at the Pine View Hotel
here, the more than 400 delegates
approved plans for the fund which
"will serve as the fund-raising arm
for Hebrew day schools on the
local, national and international
levels."
Reuben E. Gross, chairman of
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Friday, May 29, 1964

the conference, said that the fund
was necessary to cover annual
deficits of the schools estimated at
$4,000,000 and to provide funds
for construction costs and estab-
lishment of new schools estimated
at $6,000,000 per year. Citing the
annual growth rate of the Hebrew
day schools over the past 20 years
from 5,000 to more than 50,000
pupils, Gross predicted that the
total would reach 500,000 by the
end of the next two decades.
President of Hebrew U.
Reports to American Group
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Eliahu
Elath, president of the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem and Is-
rael's first ambassador to the
United States, said that one of the
major preoccupations of the uni-
versity was the training of sec-
ondary school teachers for Israel.
Addressing a national leadership
conference of the American
Friends of the Hebrew University,
Elath stressed that the university
was "bending every effort to pro-
duce an increasingly large number
of able teachers without whom Is-
rael cannot solve the critical prob-
lem of expanding secondary school
education for the children of its
citizens."
