THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
LETTER BOX
Wants Teachers
4o Have a Say in
Education Study
Editor, The Jewish News:
We have noted your March 5
article on the "resolution which
declared the need for a study of
Jewish education" and the let-
ters in your Letter Box of March
19.
Who will appoint the study com-
mission and who will serve on it?
-Who is qualified to interpret class-
room interaction of American
Jewish youngsters? What type of
teacher relates to this youngster
and why? What is the relevancy
of the Hebrew school classroom to
everyday existence?
These and other pertinent ques-
tions must be soul-searched.
There are but a handful of quali-
fied people to implement such a
monumental task. Unfortunately,
they are too humble and reticent
to seek the limelight. While a lay-
man would not dare guide a
physician during an operation, ex-
perts in Jewish education are
legion.
Hebrew teachers for the Am-
erican Jew Ish youngsters are
doomed to oblivion for we do not
__ knew of a single American Jew-
ish graduate who specifically
chose Hebrew classroom teach-
ing as a career. Why? Jews are
heavy in - secular education, so-
cial work and administrative
careers. Could the lack of re-
spect,' Ihonor, and earning a de-
cent living in this uniquely
specialized field be a bottle-
'iieck?
Since we have not reached the
t where we can honestly ap-
h a bright Jewish high school
`te and entice him to join
anks in the Hebrew school
Broom as a life-long career
A, our voice is critical in the
,.ouncils of any effective commis-
sion.

Wants Blue, White Colors
Worn on Israel's Day
Editor, The Jewish News:
I had this feeling as I noticed a
few customers where I am em-
ployed proudly wear the color of
the St. Patrick's Day tradition: Let
our color of the Mogen David be
recognized.
Jews years ago in Europe had
to walk the streets wearing a yel-
low star by demand and had their
privileges taken away. Those were
the colors then.
Now I would like to see a nation-
wide recognition of the Inde-
pendence of Israel on that day,
celebrating with pride by wearing
blue and white.
Sincerely yours,
NATALIE SCHNEIDER
