Akiva Hebrew Day School,
working with the Torah de-
partment of the Jewish Agen-
cy, will send its first senior
class to Israel for the first
full-year 12th grade study
program.
The Aug. 15 departure will
mark the culmination of a
year of planning, involving
parents, students, Akiva fac-
ulty, Jewish Agency and Is-
raeli yeshiva educators. The
class will return home next
May for final exams and
graduation.
Rabbi Joseph L. Shuchato-
witz, Akiva principal since
July, said this new educa-
tional venture "was conceived
as the most effective way of
deepening our children's com-
mitment to the Torah, the
land and the people of Israel.

living the dream and the mir-
acle of the state of Israel,
not only will expand their
horizons in terms of Torah
knowledge, but also will equip
our boys and girls with the
strength, the zeal and the
knowhow to be champions of
Israel on the American col-
lege campus."
Following a special ulpan
and tour, the class will -join
the regular scholastic pro-
gram of two schools in the
Haifa region which are part
of the Bnai Akiva yeshiva
system.
The girls will attend Segu-
la-Ulpana l'Banot in Kyriat
Motzkin, a suburb of Haifa,
and the boys will attend Tik-
vat Yaakov, in the Jezreel
Valley moshav of Sde Yaa-
kov.
In addition to their Torah
and general courses, the Aki-
va seniors will have special
classes in 12th year English
literature, civics and elec-
tives in math and physics, to
fulfill graduation require-
ments of Akiva and the state
of Michigan. They will be
given special tours and an in-
tensive study of the history
and geography of Israel.
The selection of schools and
program was launched by
Rabbi Shuchatowitz during a
February visit to Israel. He
visited many schools, accom-
panied by Rabbi James I.
Gordon, chairman of Akiva's
education committee, who is
on sabbatical in Israel and
is helping coordinate arrange-
ments.

Akiva

Action Line

By CHERYL BALBAN
As in the past, the Akiva
Student Council has done its
utmost in fund raising, which
is used to enrich the school's
audio visual program. Its
latest event was an Akiva
Roller Skating Night Tues-
day at the Ambassador Rol-
ler Rink.
Akiva students participated
in the Independence Day
Parade, in honor of the 25th
anniversary of the state of
Israel on Lag b'Omer (May
20). Students from grades 4-
11 marched in the parade
carrying the posters that
they created and singing the
songs that they had learned
especially fOr the parade. At
the end of the march, the
participants arrived at Oak
Park Municipal Park for a
special program. The parade
and program proved to be an
interesting experience.
In observance of Yom Ha'-
Atzmaut (Independence Day),
the entire third grade attend-
ed the Israel Trade Fair at
the Jewish Community Cen-
ter. There were jewelery ex-
hibits, glass blowing, and
crafts from Israel. Everyone
found it most enjoyable.
In honor of entering the
Akiva High School, the 8th
and 9th grades are planning
a class trip to Toronto. They
plan to stay for three days
and then leave for Cleveland
for Shabat, where they will
participate in the Central
East Regional Convention of
the National Conference of
Synagogue Youth of the Un-
ion of Orthodox Jewish Con-
gregations of America.
Akiva encourages all of its
students to take part in all
local and national Orthodox
youth groups, including
Young Israel Teens, Bnai
Akiva and others.

LETTER BOX

Hebrew Students
Missed Parade

Editor, The Jewish News:
On Sunday, May 20, 1973 a
beautiful thing happened in
Oak Park. It was the setting
of a parade honoring Israel's
25th anniversary. It was a
wonderful experience for the
children and parents attend-
ing. But unfortunately, not all
children could attend. Appar-
ently, the majority of He-
brew and Sunday schools did
not find this an important-
enough occasion to dismiss
school for the day.
Learning does not only take
place in a classroom. It could
have taken place in the park,
seeing the parade, hearing
the speeches and seeing the
Jewish state and people being
so honored.
I'm very glad one of my
children marched and the
other, being too young, could
watch.
When will these children
have an occasion again to see
our people so honored —
another 25 years?
Sincerely,
MRS. STEWART
SILVERMAN
