One hundred of them had died in action and were rep- resented at the ceremonies by wives, young children, parents, brothers or other next of kin. Another 17 heroes, whose identities were not revealed for security reasons, re- ceived their medals at closed-door ceremonies on the eve of "Jerusalem Day," the eighth anniversary of Is- rael's taking East Jerusa- lem. Book Fair Ends JERUSALEM (JTA) — More than 70,000 people vis- ited the International Book Fair which ended last week. Some 20,000 books were purchased and 700 publish- ers attended the event. Boris Smolar's 'Between You ... and Me' Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, JTA (Copyright 1975, JTA, Inc.) WORDS OF WISDOM: More than 40 years ago Louis Marshall, 'the great American Jewish leader, stressed the importance of Jewish education in an impressive credo: "Great as has been and is my interest in what has been done for the relief of our brethren in Eastern Europe and in Pa- lestine, warm as is my sympathy and pride in the various Jewish charitable institutions in our great American cities, it is my firm conviction that there is nothing that the Jews of this country can do which equals in importnce the maintenance and development of its educational system. "Unless this educational work is generously supported, everything else for which we may strive will have been in vain. "Whatever distinction is attached to the name of the Jew is derived almost exclusively from the fact that he has given.to the world those ethical precepts, that are exempli- fied in our Bible, that have been illustrated by our great sages and teachers, and that have been incorporated into the moral concepts of the civilized world. "The great problem of American Jewry today is to find the simplest, the most direct, and the most effective means of regaining what we have been losing, the finest ideals in- herited from our forefathers." * * * CJFWF SURVEY: The extent of attention which the or- ganized Jewish communities are now paying to Jewish edu- cation is indicated in a survey by the Council of Jewish Fed- erations and Welfare Funds. They show that Federations in 93 cities have allocated more than $16 million in 1973. This- is about 13 percent more than in the preceding year and 127 percent higher than seven years ago. In some communities the increased allocations for Jewish education made up more than 25 percent of community funding for all local purposes. This increased interest has led to the establishment of a CJFWF national committee to explore federation roles in. planning for Jewish education. Guidelines were developed for financing and planning for day schools, but the commit- tee's framework is concerned with the totality of Jewish education. * * EDUCATION PROBLEMS: Today, the federations are facing an alarming decline in the enrollment of pupils in the Jewish schools. While the day schools have maintained the line in their enrollment during the last few years — there are now about 70,000 students in the day schools, including 47,000 in the New York area — the afternoon and week-end schools have not. The CJFWF committee on education is now exploring suggestions by the American Association for Jewish Educa- tion with a view to provide high-quality, economically feasi- ble school programs in a time of small enrollment and tight money. For a variety of reasons congregations find it in- creasingly difficult to finance the annual deficit of their schools. Most of the congregational elementary schools re- ceive no direct subsidy from the federations. Many of them are now applying for such community support. The CJFWF survey shows that some 26 percent of the total federation allocation for Jewish education goes to day schools.Chicago allocated $1.6 million in 1973 for education, followed by Philadelphia, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles and Cleveland. Detroit allocated close to $750,000 in 1973. Business Checking Accounts: only $1.00 a month at NBS ...or FREE!
