'A Decent Society' "A society, or a people that does not care for its aged, that has no respect for them, that robs them of their dignity in their old age, is not a decent human society. I know that with all our understand- ing and with all our desire to help, it has been beyond our ability to care for them adequately. I dread to think what Israel would be hire today if so many of the old people had not been given a dignified, de- cent, happy home by JDC/Mal- ben."—Golda Meir. with an award in recognition of its pioneering efforts to organize and sustain an intensive Hebrew study program in Israel. At a conference of directors of Jewish communal education agen- cies of the United States and Canada, held in Jerusalem, Albert Elazar, president emeritus, and Dr. Benjamin L. Yapko, president of the Midrasha, accepted the citation on behalf of the Midrasha. The Midrasha was cited because of its role in initiating and helping to implement the Summer Col- legiate Institute at the Hebrew University. The SC', established in 1968, is open to Hebrew high school graduates who wish to con- tinue their Jewish education. Six weeks are spent in intensive study at the Hebrew University and two weeks are devoted to touring Is- rael. Since 1968, approximately 60 of the students have continued their Judaic studies: The Summer Collegiate Institute is cooperatively sponsored by the Midrasha, department of educa- tion and culture of the World Zionist Organization and the He- brew University's Center for Jew- ish -Education in the Diaspora.
