Israeli Women Lack Training, Says Head of Hadassah Education
Yeshiva Leader Weingarden
Recovers; to Be Feted at Party
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The
Yom Kippur War revealed
that Israel neglected to util-
ize half of its manpower be-
cause of its inadequate train-
ing of women, according to
Dr. Helen Kittner, director
of the Hadassah Israel Edu-
cation Services.
Addressing H a d a s s a h's
midwinter conference here,
she said: "Our women do
not have the education or the
technological training to re-
place the men in their jobs.
Many of them cannot even
balance the family check-
books."
Dr. Kittner stressed that
t h e Hadassah Seligsberg/
Brandeis Comprehensive
High School has "finally
broken the educational and
vocational stereotype about
male-female careers."
Women are currently en-
rolled in printing classes,
computer technology courses
and management courses at
the Hadassah Community
College.
