Twelve Inches o f Snow Isolates Jerusalem; Coast Hit by Gales (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) TEL AVIV — Snow driven at times by gale force winds still cov- ered large portions of Israel this week. But a warm sun broke through the clouds at Tel Aviv and Haifa, on the coast, Tuesday morning, indicating that the worst storm to hit this country in 30 years was abating. Fresh snow cut Jerusalem off from coastal regions Tuesday after emergency squads had labored most of Monday to clear the Shaar Hagai .road. Police and military personnel using vehicles with four- wheel drive distributed bread and milk to people in outlying areas. But most grocery shops and dairies in Jerusalem re-opened. Police and army units also pro- vided emergency transportation to hospitals. The situation was similar in Galilee where most roads remain- ed blocked by snow.

Emergency crews of Jerusalem's Sex Education Course Permanent Addition to Synagogue School NEW YORK (JTA) — The rabbi of a Manhattan synagogue which tested an experimental program in sex education for 10th grade stu dents at its religious school said this week that its success had led to a decision to make the program a permanent addition to the 10th grade curriculum. Rabbi Ray Soloff, spiritual leader of the East End Temple, said the goals of the project were to advance the personal growth of the student, demonstrate and rein- force the use of Judaism as an asset to the student in growth and development, and to work directly to equip the students to behave effectively in specific situations. Rabbi Soloff reported that the project at the East End Temple was started with an evaluation of "Consecrated Unto Me; a Jewish View of Love and Marriage." by Reform Rabbi Roland Gittelsohn, as providing "a new opportunity and incentive for Reform synago- gues in particular" to act on the matter. A meeting was held of congre: gants who included pediatricians, school principals, psychologists, social workers and religious school board members. The topic was whether such a course should be tried and how. A number of guide- lines were approved. One was that parents of children in the proposed program should be fully informed in advance. Another was that the caliber of teachers handling such "emotionally charged material" be on the highest. It was also agreed that the best place to introduce such a course would be in the confirmation class, the tenth grade, where some sex education and more preparation for marriage could be integrated "into the still larger perspective of a course in psychology of personal development." The framework of the program would be to treat sex as an aspect of the student's total maturation_ Rabbi Soloff stressed. THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, January 19, 1968-5 ON MANY ADS!
