The Lecture Bureau of the
Jewish Welfare Board has initiated
an experimental program of lec-
tures by experts in the field of
the visual arts and Jewish life in
response to a growing interest in
the visual arts on the part of the
American Jewish public. To aid
the increasing number of syna-
gogues, Jewish Community Cen-
ters and YM & YWHAs, and other
organizations which are conduct-
ing art shows and exhibitions and
which want to invite authorities
to speak on the visual arts in
relation to Jewish life, JWB has
issued a publication titled LEC-
TURERS ON ART IN JEWISH
LIFE. The publication gives the
background of each lecturer and
the topic or topics on which he
or she is prepared to speak.
