Hillel Joins Pilot Project to Study
Organization of Jewish Community
These 7-year-old Jerusalemites, working in a supervised after-
school study program in the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library,
were born just about the time that the Mizrachi Women's Organiza-
tion of America established the JFK library as a tribute to the mar-
tyred president. The library, now operated as a joint project of the
American women's organization and municipality serves the con-
gested Bakka neighborhood of Jerusalem. It is adjacent to Mizrachi
Women's Bakka Settlement House.

The ninth grade of Hillel Day
School is being exposed to the or-
ganized Jewish community as part
of a pilot project for the Jewish
Welfare Federation, in coopera-
tion with Federation's synagogue
and religous committees chaired by
Mrs. George Stutz.
Twenty-one members of the Hillel
graduation class, armed with cam-
eras, are carrying out a study de-
signed to introduce them to the
organization of the community in
terms of services available, the
major agencies and problems fac-
ing the local community.
The class is perparing a slide
presentation, to which it will add
a tape narration to convey the
story of the Jewish community of
Detroit.
This study follows a unit on the
history of the Jews in America
which has designed and developed
in conjunction with the school's
eighth grade study of American
history.
After an introduction to the pat-
terns of American Jewish settle-
ment, the students turned to the
Detroit area to trace the different
neighborhoods and patterns of
movement.
The next unit showed how Jews
have organized to take care of their
needs and those of their fellow
Jews on local, national and over-
seas levels.
As part of this study, the 21
class members went on a Federa-
tion-sponsored tour of the com-
munity Thursday. This junket in-
