Hadassah Adds Poverty Programs
for U.S. Children to List of Concerns
By BEN GALLOB
(Copyright 1969. JTA, Inc.)
Two major public aid programs
for children of America's dispos-
sessed, now operating far below
their potential for lack of trained
volunteers, are scheduled to get an
infusion of dedicated womanpower
from the largest women's Zionist
organization in the world.
Hadassah's first national program
involving members directly to help
fight hunger, poverty and children
from impoverished families make
more effective use of public school
education through tutoring de-
veloped from an interaction process
between the leadership of the or-
ganization and its 318,000 mem-
bers, according to Mrs. Max
Schenck, Hadassah's president.
For some time, Hadassah mem-
bers had been suggesting to lead-
ers in Hadassah's 1,350 chapters
and groups and at regional and
national conclaves that they want-
ed to join the growing army of
volunteers aiding the many-faceted
anti-poverty programs of recent
years.
Correspondingly, the leaders be-
gan to ponder how Hadassah, dedi-
cated from its inception 58 years
ago to the Zionist movement and to
the creation of massive world-
famous medical and Youth Aliya
programs in and for Israel, could
have a useful role in the fight
against poverty in America.
The question was resolved at
the midwinter meeting in New
York last February of the
Training of volunteers has start-
ed and will continue through the
summer, Mrs. Schenck said. The
goal is to have many trained Ha-
dassah volunteers ready, when the
next school year begins in Septem-
ber, to assist in expanding the
school lunch program and in tutor-
ing children in English and mathe-
matics, which are regarded as the
critical essentials for school prog-
ress.

the Agriculture Department had
funds to provide school lunches for
more than 6,000,000 undernourished

lunches during the school year.

Former Detroiter
Dana Kahn Studies
at the Hebrew U.
JERUSALEM—Dana Kahn is a
sabra, a native-born Israeli,. who
has spent most of her life in the
United States, having left Israel
with her mother at the age of two.
Now the 23-year-old redhead is
back in the land of her birth as a
fifth year special student in the
faculty of humanities at the He-
brew University.
Dana is one of close to 1,000 stu-
dents from America, representing
some 130 U.S. colleges and univer-
sities, who are studying at the
Jerusalem campus this year. This
is a record number up by 300 since
last year.
Dana lives in a student apart-
ment on Mt. Scopus, and besides
enjoying the view, likes the fact
that "approximately 500 students
reside there—about five in each
apartment—and everybody kind cf
gets together."
Dana received her B.A. from
Michigan State University. Why
did she decide to come to Israel?
"Well, my father is buried here,"
she says. "And I wanted to see
where I started. I have many Is-
raeli friends in the United States.
so everything motivated me."
Her mother and stepfather, Mr.
and Mrs. E. Greenlick, live on
Greenfield Rd., and as Dana says,
"You remain associated with your
own society no matter where you
are."
One of the things that Dana has
found in Israel is that "people
from so many different cultures
are able to live together." She has
also discovered an "amazing phy-
sical and mental strength in the
people here" and that "the family
is very important."
Dana hopes to line up a teaching
position in one of Israel's elemen-
tary schools.
"I'm planning to go into the
ministry of education," the pretty
sabra-come-home says.
The group is planning a family
outing during the summer. Also,
members are taking orders for im-
printed New Year's cards. For in-
formation on how to order, contact
Nancy Harelick, 399-2487 or Linda
Mares, 541-7956.
