Dr. Christian Lenz, curator in
charge of the project, mourned
the fact that both young and old
found reasons to oppose the
project. Young people complain-
' ed that what Frankfurt needed
was hospitals, not paintings.
Others said it was up to the Jews
to buy the painting, and a few
voiced the fear that it must be

because the price was so high.
The owner is not Jewish.
Despite the failure of the cam-
paign, the museum hopes to buy
the painting. The city has raised
a third of the price through private
appeals to banks and businessmen.
A considerable part of these con-
tributions is from Jews
Dr. Lenz said the picture has

over breakfast cnd the big Sunday newspapers and many extra
cups of coffee. For still others, a time for teaching . . and a time
for learning.
Sunday morning, in short, is what you make of it.
At Temple Kol Ami, we try to make a lot of it.
From 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon, we conduct our Religious
School
for kindergarten through 12th grade youngsters. Since we don't
yet have our own facilities (we're a young and still-growing cong-
regation), the Religious School meets at the Orchard Lake Middle
School, on Orchard Lake rood north of Maple.
Kol Ami is o liberal, reform temple—and the school reflects
the philosophy of the congregation. The program, therefore, is not
locksd in to a rigid curriculum.
Certainly, there are the traditional and essential basics,
such as
Hebrew studies and Jewish history. But for the older students, there
ore elective classes, such os dramatics, music and debating. All the
electives keep sight of the basic tenents of Judaism, but they ore
designed to bring a stimulating freshness and flexibility to the
religious learning experience.
In addition to the Sunday morning sessions, Hebrew classes
are held on Wednesday afternoons for those boys and girls who
choose to take them, or who are planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
It is worth nothing that at Temple Kol Ami, a Bor or Bat
Mitzva is regarded as a ceremony which is neither an end in itself,
nor even an ultimate goal. Rather it is a voluntary port of our
regular and continuing Religious School program. And, since this
voluntary ceremony becomes part of our regular Sabbath services,
any celebration following the ceremony is simple and in keeping
and dignity of our religious services.
If Temple Kol Ami sounds right for your family, please give
with the spirit
542 - 3001. Whether or not you have any
Religious School-age youngsters, we'd love to hove you join us.
