Hebrew Taught in 50 Public
Schools in New York City
NEW YORK (JTA)—Fifty schools
in the New York City public school
system now offer Hebrew language
courses, according to Dr. Judah
Lapson, director of the Hebrew
Culture Council of Jewish Educa-
tion Committee of New York City.
He reported that the latest schools
to offer Hebrew language courses
were the Franklin Delano Roosevelt
High School and the Canarsie High
School, both in Brooklyn, and the
Curtis High School in Staten Island.
The latter is the first in the bor-
ough to provide modern Hebrew
language courses. Schools in the
four other boroughs have been
teaching Hebrew for more than 35
years, Dr. Lapson said. He report-
ed that more than 3,200 students
were registered for the Hebrew
classes in New York City schools
at the end of the school year last
June.
Dr. Lapson said that students of
Hebrew in public schools receive
full language credits for Regents
examinations and for entrance and
that hundreds of high school grad-
uates continued the study of He-
brew in colleges and universities in
the city. He reported that more
than 1,500 college students in the
city were enrolled currently in He-
brew courses.
