Jewish Education
Is Disintegrating
I couldn't believe it!
I added up the cost of my cigarette

I "kicked the habit."
Now I bank my money.

would succeed in the proposed
global education proposal where
the Jewish Agency itself had made
"so little headway." He added he
felt that the trouble with Jewish
education in the Diaspora was that
it was not based on the centrality
of Israel in modern Jewish life.
Sachs asserted that Hebrew
teachers in the United States re-
carded the centrality of Jewish
life as being in New York and
not in Israel, a view he said ap-
plied also to Jewish schools he
had visited in Britain and other
countries. The Board of Jewish
Education in South Africa has
stressed orientation towards Is-
rael from the start.
Sachs also declared that a Jew-
ish Agency survey had shown
that South African Jewry was
among the top Diaspora commu-
nities in its work for Jewish ed-
ucation. He said plans were being
made to expand the day school
system, adding that one million
rand ($1,260,000) would be the goal
of the forthcoming education fund
campaign.

The university's main buildings
are concentrated under one roof.
The main building is 300 yards
long and 70 yards wide. There
is room for additional construction
to meet future student growth.
Located in an area of heavy
Arab population, the university has
begun to adrnit large numbers of
Arabs and Druze so they can be
educated to help meet their com-
munity's needs.
In a recent report issued by
Acting President Prof. Benjamin
Akzin, the Haifa U. growth was

its student population from 675
