ligious Law.
Rabbi Sandy Sasso, the
first woman graduate from
the Reconstructionist rab-
binical school, expressed
that view at a Montreal Jew-
ish Women's Conference.
She is married to Rabbi
Dennis Sasso, also a gradu-
ate of the Reconstructionist
seminary.
She contended that "there
is much room - for change
without a great deal of al-
teration" in Halakha, add-
ing that "social custom has
made what was not obliga-
,, :. :,.: tory
into a prohibition. Cus-
P tom takes on the character
of a law_but people create
customs and people should
be able to change them as
well."

This is true both on the college and high school level. It
- is also true to a large extent for those young Jews in colleges
and universities who are not yet graduating this June, but
who will be seeking jobs as soon as their classes close for the
summer. There are now approximately 400,000 Jewish
students in American institutions of higher learning, and a
great many of them are in need of summer jobs.

DR. MAURICE JACOBS
WALTHAM, Mass. — Dr.
Maurice Jacobs of Philadel-
phia was elected president
of the American Jewish His-
torical Society during the
recent annual meeting of
the society held at its head-
quarters on the campus of
Brandeis University.
In making the announce-
ment, the society's officers
cited Jacobs' 28th year of
service to the institution as
a member of its governing
body and as an officer.
An internationally known
retired publisher, Dr. Ja-
cobs has been associated
with the American Associa-
tion for Jewish Education,
Brandeis University, Bnai
Brith, Jewish Chautauqua
Society, National Jewish
Welfare Board, National
Federation of Temple
Brotherhoods, Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Insti-
tute of Religion, Union of
American Hebrew Congre-
gations, World Union for
Progressive Judaism and
YIVO Institute for Jewish
Research.
A graduate of the-Univer-
sity of Maine, Jacobs has re-
ceived an honorary degree
from that institution as well
as the Hebrew Union Col-
lege. He has also received
numerous citations for serv-
ice from local, state and na-
tional institutions and or-
ganizations including the
American Jewish Historical
Society's coveted Lee Max
Friedman Award for distin-
guished contributions to the
cause of American Jewish
history.
Jewish vocational services in the larger cities have been
receiving applications from recent college graduates who
are having difficulties in securing employment. Some of the
applicants are willing to take jobs in any field, not only in
those in which they specialized.
Affected mostly are those who studied engineering,
business management, accounting, teaching and liberal
arts. Among high school graduates there are many who —
according to reports from various communities — have de-
cided to seek non-academic jobs and careers.

CJFWF ASSESSMENT: The impact of the economic re-
cession on Jewish communal needs, services and finances,
has now been assessed by the Council of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds.
Almost without exception, the communal agencies in
the larger communities are bringing more pressure on the
local federations for more funds to meet rising costs and the
need for increasing services. Pressure comes especially
from the Jewish family agencies which are getting an un-
precedented number of requests for aid resulting from in-
creased unemployment, and the Jewish vocational services.
Over a two-year period some allocations from federa-
tions to local Jewish family agencies have tripled and quad-
rupled. The aging, who already constitute a large percen-
tage of most family agencies caseloads, are increasingly
seeking financial assistance. The poorest are on fixed in-
comes and rising inflation has made them even more
impoverished.
A totally new category seeking guidance and direct as- -
sistance from the Jewish family agencies are heads of fami-
lies who were laid off in mid-career. The situation, as re-
ported by the Jewish agencies, is especially criticallor those
over 45 years of age with more limited employment oppor-
tunities.
* * *
IMPACT ON CAMPS: With the approach of the sum-
mer camp season, it is anticipated that because of unem-
ployment, parents who have hitherto been financially able
to send their children to Jewish camps, may not be able to
do so this summer. The number of children in such camps
may drop. There is also evidence that Jewish day schools
are being affected. Requests for reduced tuition from par-
ents with marginal income, or newly-unemployed, are
being received by the day schools in various communities.
