The book is illustrated and Hebrew terms, in Hebrew type, are used frequently to emphasize the traditional values. According to Farber the second volume will not repeat any portion of Cycle I, except for sentences that are basic. The third volume will contain new concepts and ap- proaches and challenging inter- pretations. "Young people justifiably pro- test" says the author, "because of the constant repetition of holiday material. They squirm and remon- strate when holidays come around. 'Do we have to go over that again?' is an oft repeated query." These student frustrations have led to negative results and and certainly have not enriched our young Jewish people with a priceless holiday heritage." The Farber volume aims to cor- rect these misconceptions.

Talk to the kids of Yeshiva Beth Yehudah. 1) They receive the finest in Jewish education—includ- ing Bible, History, Hebrew language, and Talmud. 2) The Phi Beta Kappa Society of Michigan has awarded more certificates of commendation proportionally to the boys and girls of Beth Yehudah than any other school in the state — public, private or parochial. At the last Wayne State University graduation, three out of five of our graduates were admitted into the society itself. 3) Parents are especially proud of the Bar Mitzvah train- ing their children receive. Their children are taught how to conduct services, read the Torah Scroll and sing the Haftorah. (Incidentally, all Bar Mitzvah instruc- tion is free.) 4) The children learn to love Land of Israel. In fact, close to 20 of them are now continuing their studies in Israel. 5) They're proud to be Jews — as well as Americans. You'll be proud of them too. The kids know all of this and they won't kid you. Their brand new school on Fairfax in Southfield will open during the fall. Girls' classes will be held in the beautiful building on 7 Mile and Lesure. You can register your child, nursery through high school, by calling UN 2 6668 - Hurry now before your kids beat you to it!
