Mrs. Gerald Schuster, cur- riculum coordinator of the Temple Beth El Religious School, related that the multi-age groups (5th-7th grades) were given a unique view of the beginnings of Judaism, with an elective course in "Jewish Communi- ties of the Past.". To illustrate the life of ancient nomadic Jews, Hen- rietta Nack showed how to make pottery; Jane Cossman and Alice Hart taught how to bake pita and churn butter in a chamois skin bag; Caro- line Panzer and Mrs. Robert Harper introduced spinning and weaving; and Ed Sha- piro directed a group in making a large tent. Musical instruments, patterned after those of the biblical period, also were made. As a culminating activity, the classes gathered in the tent and conducted a worship service which stressed the closeness of the nomads to nature and God. Teachers of the multi-age groups are Lois Stanley, Tom Shriver and Gordon Parnes. Youth on the Move THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, December 7, 1973-17 Volunteer in Israel Describes Mood of Israelis as 'Tense' David Gotlib, 23-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Benzion Gotlib and a volunteer work- er on Kibutz Ein Gedi, de- scribed in a letter home the mood of Israel is following the war. "The psychological effect it has on everyone, the ten- sion, the pressure it puts verybody through is inde- scribable," he said. One cially and morally, but it's not enough. Sacrifice means more than giving part of what you've got left over after all other expenses. It means giving something up, a vacation, a new car, a night out on the town. "There also is a need to educate the American pub- lic . . . organize a teach-in, approach some of your Christian friends about ad- dressing a church group," Gotlib wrote. "I want to tell you not to worry, but to upset you so that you in turn will upset your friends out of their possible complacency. The war is not over." - Beth Israel Class Registration Held DAVID GOTLIB young kibutznik on her way to a shelter during the first days of the war asked, "If they capture us, will they put ,us in ovens?" Gotlib remarked that the economic losses were "over- whelming," citing as factors a reduced work force in the factories and farms and lost imported and exported mer- chandise due to schedules that couln't be met. Cong. Beth Israel is offer- ing adult education classes if interested parties will register in advance. At least six persons must register for the following to be sched- uled: Advanced studies in the book of Genesis, Hebrew lan- guage for beginners and ad- vanced students, practical aspects of Jewish mysticism and the geography of the prayer book.
