With the help of the Israel Education Fund, a program of the United Jewish Appeal, students in Israel will be en- tering secular and religious comprehensive and vocation- al high schools; specialized nautical, tourism, engineer- ing and fashion schools; and pre-kindergarten schools. Many will be children of Oriental Jewish families who might have been drop-outs. Others will be Israeli Arab youngsters encouraged t o continue with their studies. Still others will be Bedouin children whose parents until recently felt that formal edu- cation was a waste of time. And, of course, there will be sabras and recent young im- migrants from the Soviet Union. The IEF was born of the recognition that there were not enough high schools, that less than half of those in ex- istence at the beginning of the 1960s were four-year fa- cilities, that an insufficient number provided full-scale 1=41==>1 1{=11.C=Di PIONEER WOMEN PRESENTS The Premiere Showing of the Israeli Film "Ben Gurion Remembers" Tues., Oct. 9th, 7:30 p.m. & 9:30 p.m. Main Theater in Royal Oak Tickets available at office $3.50 851-0750 ENROLL NOW IN DANCE CLASSES At The ALL NEW JACK BARNES Dance Studios NOW LOCATED 6346 Orchard Lake Rd. and Maple (Above Durbin) • Pre Schoolers: Baby Rhythm classes. • Children: Tap, ballet, modern jazz, rock, ballroom. • Teen: Tap, ballet, modern jazz, rock,. ballroom.

The com- prehensive high school be- came the key element in Is- rael's breakthrough education program. While the average voca-, tional schools in the U.S. are usually dumping grounds for youngsters considered un- manageable in academic sur- roundings, the IEF schools are geared to mesh with the industrial, artistic, scientific and cultural developments of that young nation. Kiryat Malachi is a devel- opment town half-way be- tween Ashkelon and Ashdod. There are families from North Africa, Poland and the Soviet Union among the 13,000 residents.' The IEF built pre - kindergarten schools, a comprehensive high school and a library. The high school has an out- standing industrial workshop preparing students to enter the metals industry, a phy- sics and chemistry labora- tory, an electric welding de- partment, and classes in car- pentry, sewing and fashions. "The textile factories in the area need fashion and dress designers," said Sara Cohen, chief librarian in Kiryat Ma- lachi. "The students at our school are so well-trained in these fields that they have no difficulty in making the transition from classroom to the factories." The library in Kiryat Ma- lachi is geared to meet the requirements of the high school. There are, Miss Co hen related, some 18,000 books used by students and teachers in the town and by students and teachers from neighboring communities. Olga Shamir, senior con- sultant to the Beersheba Board of Education, stood in the courtyard of the Musicaj Academy-Cultural Center and smiled. "It isn't quite like the High School of Music and Art (in New York attended by artistically and musically gifted children) but we hope it will one day become a con- servatory .of music." Beersheba, she pointed out, has an excellent youth band. Last year the youngsters competed in the International Youth Bands Festival in Vienna "and our band was rated excellent." Before the academy was completed last year there were musical edu- cation programs in this city, but the academy put it all to- gether. Some 600 students from the ages of 6 to 18 are now enrolled in it. In addition to this academy- cultural center, the IEF built three comprehensive high schools, a school of engineer- ing, a religious high school, three pre-kindergartens and a library. In Dimona, the IEF had what amounted to test tube educational situation. Almost half of the town's population of 28,000 are between the ages of 1 and 18.E 60 per cent are from North African coun- tries, Yemen and Iraq; 15 per cent from India; and 10 per cent from Europe, includ- ing 50 families from Soviet Georgia with six or seven persons per family. There are other outstand- ing IEF facilities throughout the country. In fact, as of June ire were 369 facilities completed or under construc- tion, (The figures last week were based on an earlier re- port.) At Kfar Habad, some 10 miles from Tel Aviv, the comprehensive high school for girls is designed to even- tually fill the educational needs of 1,200 students in three curricula : an aca- demic high school for com- plete Jewish and general ed- ucation, a technical high school and a teachers' semin- ary. Because the area to be served by this school contains families who have a deeply religious background, the curriciulum includes about five hours a week of addi- tional study devoted to the Talmud, Bible and Jewish law. It has 22 classrooms, 14 workshops, six laboratories, one lecture room, a library and a shelter. Baoua el Garbia, a Mos- lem Israeli Arab village 30 miles south of Haifa, will have a comprehensive school consisting of a junior high school and a high school serv- ing five surrounding villages. At Yad Benyamin, 20 miles southeast of Tel Aviv, the school consists of a yeshiva, a teachers' seminary and an ulpan for students from abroad. The existing central synagogue and the new dining hall will serve the students of all these facilities, includ- ing the proposed vocational school. The school will ini- tially provide three basic courses: aircraft and elec- tricity, electronics and motor- s a r mechanics, including tractor and motor electricity. Educators, municipal offi- cials and school administra- tors stressed that the base of all the educational facilities are the pre - kindergarten schools which in many ways are similar to the head start programs in the United States—but more effective in providing infants with the training to enter the school system. The IEF, determined to solve this problem, provided remarkable contributions in this field. With 104 pre-kin- dergarten facilities already completed and 171 under con- struction, the goal by the end of 1975 is to have 1,000 pre- kindergarten schools. These schools, designed to double as day care centers permitting mothers who must work the opportunity to be- come productive citizens and help raise the standard of liv- ing, are in effect vital early life centers for youngsters. The pre-kindergarten pro- gram currently involves thre4 and four year olds. But expansion to include one and two year olds is anticipated. According to IEF spokes- men, the goal is to provide at least one pre-kindergarten school in every development town and immigrant sector. Israel Anniversary Ends in Argentina BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — About 12,000 Jews, 5,000 of them youths carrying ban- ners and shouting, "aliya," filled the Luna Park stadium to celebrate the closing of Israel's 25th anniversary year. The event was sponsored by the Argentine Zionist Or- g a niz a tio n, in cooperation with the Buenos Aires Ke- hilla, the Federation of Ar- gentine Jewish Communities, the DAIA and the Argentine Jewish Youth Confederation. THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, September 7, 1973-43 Arabs in E. Jerusalem Benefit From National Health Insurance JERUSALEM (JTA—East Jerusalem Arabs are bene- fiting subsstantially from na- tional health insurance, old age pensions and accident compensation programs in the city, Labor Minister Yosef Almogi reported. He said that figures avail- able for the past four years showed a sharp increase in the benefits paid. Almogi reported that 4,006 birth benefits were paid in 1972 compared to 2,172 in 1968 in East Jerusalem. Arab mothers have become accustomed to giving birth in hospitals, he said. The number of large fami- lies covered by health sub- sidies rose from 1,465 in 1968 to '7,121 in 1973, he re- ported. These families received more than IL 17,000,000 in one year for more than 40,000 children. The subsidies are paid di- rectly to the mothers, thus elevating the woman's status in the family, Almogi said. He reported that more than 2,000 elderly persons and 250 widows and orphans re- ceive old age and survivors benefits in East Jerusalem. In the past year, 1,368 Arab employes there re- ceived accident payments compared to 96 in 1968, Al- mogi said.
