The annual Balfour Concert of

Ford Auditorium Sunday eve-
ning, had a record attendance,

prevented by illness from at-
tending or were out of the city.

dent, and Dr. Alexander Fried-
laender, chairman of the concert
committee, who greeted the
gathering, spoke briefly about the
projects to be aided by income
from the concert—the Kfar Silver
Agricultural School at Ashkelon,
Israel; the ZOA House in Tel Aviv;
and cultural programs in this city
and nationally. They stated in a
post-concert announcement that
none of the Balfour Concert in-
come goes towards the new ZOD
Cultural Center, funds for which
were provided by private dona-
tions.
The concert featured the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra under the di-
rection of Paul Paray and the
world famed violinist, Nathan Mil-
stein. "Serio-Giocosso" by Hanoch

Record BB Budget
to See Expansion
of Youth Activities
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
Bnai Brith board of governors Mon-
day voted a record budget of $4,-
887,000 for youth activities for
1966 in view of "the threat of
attrition in Jewish communal life
if religious and cultural activities
of Jewish youth are neglected."
The new nudget was an in-
crease of $215,000 over the 1965
budget and represented 42 per
cent of the $11,500,000 Bnai Brith
will spend on a national level for
all its activities next year. The
figure does not include an esti-
mated $5,000,000 in I o c ally
financed activities.
The board of governors, hold-
ing its 122nd annual meeting,
Sunday initiated plans to assist
the Jews of Latin America in
developing closer relations with
non-Jews.
Latin American members re-
ported to the board that the "spirit
of ecumenism" generated by the
Vatican Council in Rome "will ad-
vance intergroup harmony" in
Catholic nations, but that the "full
impact of the Vatican Council's
Declaration on the Jews will prob-
ably take one or two generations
to develop."
Bnai Brith adopted a program
of technical and financial aid for
human relations activities that will
be "locally-planned and locally-
directed" through Bnai Brith af-
filiates in Latin American coun-
tries. Bnai Brith has units in 15
Latin American nations.
Dr. William A. Wexler, Bnai
Brith international president, an-
nounced that the program will
begin early next year.
BBYO 'Mailbox Course
in Judaism' Underway
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The
Bnai Brith Youth Organization
Mailbox Institute of Judaism is now
available to members and other
youths interested in a unique cor-
respondence course in Judaism.
Rabbi Stanley Rabinowitz, chair-
man of the Judaism pamphlet corn-
mittee of the Bnai Brith Youth
Commission, explained that the
BBYO Mailbox Institute of Juda-
ism was developed in answer to
many requests from BBYO mem-
bers and Jewish religious schools
for an introductory course in Juda-
ism on the secondary-school level.
The first three Mailbox courses
explore Jewish religion, ethics,
ritual and family life as discussed
in the widely read BBYO pamphlet
series.
Rabbi Rabinowitz said "It is
hoped that after individual mem-
bers become interested in studying
the course, they will involve their
friends in small study groups that
soon develop into total chapter
educational programs." The pain-
phlets and courses are also avail-
able to non-members and to Jewish
religious school classes.
A certificate is given for each
course completed successfully.
After all the first three courses
are completed, a diploma is award-
ed.
More information about the
BBYO Mailbox Institute of Juda-
ism is available from the Program
Department, Bnai Brith Youth Or-
ganization, 1640 Rhode Island Ave.
NW, Washington, D.C. 20036.
