Akiva Action Line -1
By ALAN GORDON
(Alan, 14 and in the 8th grade,
enjoys sports.)
In our Jewish history class, we
did four research reports about
the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.
First, our Hebrew teacher, Rabbi
Cohen, divided us into three
groups. Group one dealt with In-
ter-Relationships Between Judah
and•,Israel, group two investigated
Religious Life in These Two King-
doms and group three researched
International Relationships of Jud-
ah and Israel. The fourth group
was assigned to determine the
boundaries of eretz Yisroel from
the time of Joshua until the days
of Herod and then make maps of
- them.
The eighth and ninth grade girls,
They Made
The Grade
under the direction of Mrs. Cohen,
were assigned different research
projects. Group one dealt with
Spain before the 13th Century;
group two studied France and
Germany before the 13th Century;
and group three researched ancient
Babylonia.
Students have already sub-
mitted oral reports about their
research findings and now plan
to publish them for all of the
Akiva students.
Student reasearch has been suc-
cesful at Akiva in other ways. Joel
Bigman, Bennie Micznik, Sheldon
Mandelbaum and David Tenen-
baum studied the books of Bamid-
bar, Samuel I and Ruth on their
own initiative and won first, third,
fourth and fifth places respec-
tively in the Detroit Bible Contest.
Joel will now participate in the
National Bible Contest in New
York City.
Also, Audrey Krakovits received
a blue ribbon at the Cranbrook
Science Fair for outstanding re-
search into photosynthesis and
radish plants.

By ALAN MENDELSON
On March 25, the ninth grade
class spent the entire day touring
various Jewish organizations and
institutions as part of our study
of the Detroit Jewish community
today.
Among the places we visited
were the Jewish Home for the
Aged, Sinai Hospital, the Butzel
Building and the Community Work-
shop, all of which are supported
by the Jewish Welfare Federation.
One of the highlights of the day
was our bus ride through the old
Jewish neighborhoods of the city.
At the Home for the Aged, we
watched occupational therapy
groups in progress. The function
of the Community Workshop was
explained to us. It provides
physically and mentally handi-
capped people with jobs subcon-
tracted by factories. Both the
workshop and the Home for the
Aged supply work for which the
people are paid.
At the Butzel Building, we vis-
ited many of the offices of the
Jewish organizations located there.
Several of the offices provided
spokesmen to explain the purpose
and workings of their particular
office. This was followed by a
question-and-answer period.
At Sinai Hospital, our last stop,
we saw a slide presentation of the
various places of the hospital we
weren't allowed to visit. We did
tour the medical library and the
Shiffman Clinic.
The ninth graders would like to
thank all the spokesmen from
each organization, our teacher,
Mrs. Robert Ellis, our chaperone,
Mrs. Fred Baum, and especially
the two representatives from the
Jewish Federation, Mrs. Lewis
Grossman and Mrs. George Stutz,
for a very interesting and informa-
tive day.
