Ground-breaking ceremonies were held recently on the grounds of Letchworth Village for Retarded Adults and Children in Thiels, an upstate New York town. Jacob M.

The synagogue is being built un- der auspices of Cong. Bnai Israel of Letchworth, a non-profit orga- nization incorporated in 1965 and comprised of several hundred parents, relatives and friends of Letchworth residents. Members of Bnai Israel have managed to raise $125,000 toward the total $175,000 cost of the synagogue, the JTA was told. The synagogue building will have special inside and outside ramps for wheelchair patients, four classrooms, a rabbi's study and seats for 500 worshipers. In addition to serving as a house of worship, Rabbi Cohen said the synagogue will offer courses in Jewish history, literature and other religious and cultural subjects. • FULL OR HALF DAY SESSIONS • HOT, NOURISHING LUNCHES • TRANSPORTATION (if desired) For details ...phone 358-3721 LEARN TO SPEAK HEBREW The Easy Way No homework!
