check based upon the number of
members in a respective family,
plus five pounds of matzo products
per individual.

tive, Orthodox and Reform syna-
gogues in the Detroit area.
In 1965, a few students of the
United Hebrew Schools assisted at
the distribution center for the or-
ganization. Following is a report
which was sent in by one of the
principals of the United Hebrew
Schools, written by one of the
students who had given service
in the distribution center:
"A few days before Passover
our class at Beth Aaron exper-
ienced the true meaning of charity.
Our teacher took us to the Beth
Tefilo Emanuel Synagogue, t he
headquarters for the distribution of
Mo'os Hitim, under the sponsor-
ship of the Mo'os Hitim Organiza-
tion of Detroit. Mo'os Hitim is the
ancient custom of giving food, wine
and ritual articles to needy Jewish
families and individuals so that
they can celebrate Passover.
"I do not think any of us realize
that so many Jewish families in
Detroit would be unable to observe
Passover if they did not receive
help from this organization. We
saw large quantities of matzo prod-
ucts, stacked in neat piles in the
chapel of the synagogue, ready to
be distributed to needy people.
Each person in a family was given
five pounds of matzo products, as
well as a check with which to pur-
chase meat and other 'necessities
for the Passover holiday. If the
people could not pick up the order
themselves, because they were too
old or sick, then a special commit-
tee would deliver the items and
would also cash the check for the
family.
"The names of the people who
receive help for Passover are kept
secret so that no one will be em-
barrassed or ashamed. Had we not
gone to this place and seen it with
our own eyes, we would never have
understood what Mo'os Hitim stands
for."

tribution to the Mo'os Hitim Or-
ganization of Detroit should con-

man, 2641 Woodstock, TO 8-2784.

The past few weeks at Bir-
mingham Groves have been
tumultous, as "the most active
student body in Michigan" parti-
cipates in drives and activities of
all sorts.
Heading the list of activities-
participated-in is basketball. The
Groves cagers are on top. They
sport a perfect record of 16-0, and
are rated sixth in the state. By the
time of this printing their North-
west Suburban League Cage Title
will be official, making them the
only team in league history to win
an undisputed league title.
This past week has been Ameri-
can Field Service Week at school.
Each homeroom had a project to
raise money for this worthy cause.
The projects ranged from the
shining of shoes in the halls to the
selling of bagels and cream cheese
at lunch.
Final tryouts for the annual
Groves talent show were also held
last week. The long list of audition-
ers was narrowed to 16 excellent
acts, which will provide a rollick-
ing, entertainment-packed evening
for a nominal fee. Highlighting
the show on the 26th of this
month, will be the jazz trio of Neil
Klein, • Brent Hughes, and Geoff
Gale, and the piano solo of Merle
Carson.
Students have been contributing
to two drives lately. One is a drive
for old clothing to be sent to the
needy of Oakland county. The
other drive is for soap of all kinds-
to be sent to the bedraggled,
disease ridden countries of Viet-
nam. Both drives have been re-
ceived with fantastic support,
having been termed successes at
their halfway points.

Israel Camp Program at Hakfar
Hayarok
Goes Into 5th Season With Premier's Praise
Israel's largest and oldest sum-
mer camp for American teen-agers
was hailed by Prime Minister Levi
Eshkol as "a project worthy of con-
tinuation" as enrollment for the
fifth season, the summer of 1966,
began in cities throughout the
United States and Canada.
Founded in 1962, the camp spon-
sored by the Histadrut Foundation
for, Educational Travel is situated
at Hakfar Hayarok (the Green Vill-
age), an agricultural school just
north of Tel Aviv. The seven-week
program, including round-trip jet
airline transportation, costs $959,
within the range of prices for good
American summer camps.
In his statement, Prime Minister
Eshkol said, "The removal of the
walls which estrange the Jewish
youth of the world from the youth
of Israel is one of our most impor-
tant educational goals, important
for the sake of the Jews in Israel
and for the Jews of the Dispersion
alike. Every point of contact be-
tween our youth will add to the
unity of our people throughout the
world."
More than 150 American teen-
agers are expected to share this
summer's program with an equal
number of Israeli boys and girls.
Campers live in newly built
cottages with no more than four
occupants to a room. Facilities
include an Olympic-size swim-
ming pool, basketball court, base-
ball field, library, synagogue and
outdoor amphitheater.
Activities of the Histadrut Sum-
mer Camp include field trips to
all parts of Israel, conversational
Hebrew classes, sports, arts and
crafts, folk dancing and optional
work on the village farm.
The Histdrut Foundation for Edu7
cational Travel has also arranged
an eight-week kibbutz and vacation
program for college students in
July and August.
