Most of the text is in the Aramaic language and without vowels, but we have learned to translate and discuss all of the Talmud, Rashi and Tosafot commentaries in He- brew. (The fifth graders learn Mishna without the Talmud commentary, the sixth graders learn Talmud on the beginners level, and the sev- enth graders learn Talmud with Rashi commentary only.) We pre- pare and review our lessons with study partners. In Talmud, the emphasis Is on the logic and understanding of each rabbi's opinion. This sharp- ens our thinking and teaches us how to cope with problems. For example, we recently learned about the Torah rule called Kal Vachomer. This means that if we fond in situation A that the Torah law is lenient in the first respect but is strict in a second, then in situation B, where the Torah is strict even in the first respect, it surely must be strict in the second, also. The Talmud applies this reasoning, HILLEL HAPPENINGS among other things, to partial confessions in court. Besides studying Bible, prophets, history, Jewish law and grammar, we spend about 10 hours a week on Talmud study. • • * Akiva recently invited repre- sentatives of Jewish women's or- ganizations In metropolitan Detroit to a brunch, discussion and tour of the school. Mrs. Max Stollman, president of the Women's Division of Jewish Welfare Federation was the guest speaker.
