School for Deaf Pupils
Operated by Synagogue

LOS ANGELF-C (JTA)—Officials
of Temple Beth Solomon of the
Deaf announced that registration
will be held Sunday for the only
Jewish religious school for deaf
children in the area.
Temple Beth Solomon was found-
ed 10 years ago by the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations.
In 1966, according to its officials,
it became the first deaf congrega-
tion in the world to have its own
synagogue building.
Classes are provided for both
deaf and hard-of-hearing children.
Oral instruction is given through
lip-reading and visual interpreta-
tions by specially-trained teachers.
Boys and girls entering their teens
are prepared for Bar and Bat
Mitzva.
The synagogue also sponsors a
religious school for children with
normal hearing. Many are children
of deaf parents or of others who
live in the San Fernando Valley
where the synagogue is located.
The two groups of children play
together in the synagogue play-
ground and. work together in pre-
paring for such celebrations as
Passover, Hanuka and Purim.
