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.

BLOOMFIELD A program to provide sub- sidies for installation of 346 BRAND NEW 1976 FORDS (ALSO 163 BRAND NEW 1975's) 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. SAVE $ $ NOW OPEN MON. & THURS.
