NEW YORK (JTA) — A resolu-
tion calling on the New York City
Board of Education to close all
public schools at 3 p.m. on Fridays
during November, December and
January so as not to conflict with
the onset of the Jewish Sabbath
was adopted here at a general
meeting of the Association of
Orthodox Jewish Teachers of the
New York Public School System.
Asserting that requiring Friday
evening attendance in New York
City high schools for Jewish stu-
dents and teachers was "an af-
front to the very large Jewish
community," Max Zakon, presi-
dent of the teachers group, de-
clared at the meeting that prob-
lems of religious observance had
driven many public school students
to enroll in parochial and other
private schools.
He said the resolution would af-
fect only high schools, and that
any time lost could be made up
on other days.
