NEW YORK — A clear
majority — 62 percent — of
students attending Hebrew
ulpan classes co-sponsored
by the World Zionist Organ-
ization-American Section
Department of Education
and Culture and the Theo-
dor Herzl Institute are
young people, according to a
report issued by Dr. Abra-
ham P. Gannes, director of
the department.
Dr. Gannes pointed out
that 80 percent of the
classes are conducted in the
evening because partici-
pants are either working or
attending college and there-
fore have only late after-
noons, evenings and Sun-
days free for additional
study.
During the past year —
including the 1974 fall
semester and the 1975
spring and summer semes-
ters, 2,285 students were en-
rolled at the ulpan center
and its branches.

The major objectives of
the ulpan in the U.S. are:
• To teach modern spo-
ken Hebrew as a means of
communication for Jews
throughout the world.
• To provide on a more
advanced level a basic back-
ground in Jewish culture
and tradition in the Dias-
pora and Israel via the He-
brew language and its liter-
ature;
• To develop a sense of
affinity and identification

telephones and payment of
monthly telephone charges
for poor and elderly Jewish ,
residents of the West Bronx
in New York has been
started by the West Bronx
Federation Service Center.
Asher Moskowitz, center
director, said 60 telephones
had been installed, with
payment of monthly
charges assured for a year,
and that 20 other Jews had
been assured of subsidies.
Moskowitz said a related
program has recruited four
volunteers who make tele-
phone calls several times a
week to Jewish residents
who live alone and are ill or
disabled. One of the func-
tions of the volunteers is to
notify the service center of
problems of the homebound
Jews so that help can be
provided them as needed.
The telephone installa-
tion charges and monthly
subsidies are being funded
by the Federation of Jew-
ish Philanthropies. The
telephone reassurance
program is being funded
through a grant from the
special allocations com-
mittee of the Greater New
York Fund.
