Mickey Stern, by day the supervising teacher of 80 pre-schoolers, quietly moves from group to group, point- ing-, out small details like shape. and color, and ex- plaining which learning con- cepts can most effectively be introduced. After coffee, cake, and an informal dis- cussion, the parents leave for home, each carrying the game he has checked out for a week. The Machane David Toy Library had such good re- sults that this year the Haifa Municipality has combined funds with the Jewish Agency to establish additional toy libraries. Ruth Gazit, coordinator of. Day Nurseries for the Haifa Relief Services, said that everyone connected with Anita's project agreed on its importance. JDC Official Wins Ben-David Prize The Toy Library at Ma- chane David was begun last year by Anita Weiner. She is a lecturer at the School of Social Work of Haifa Uni- versity, which is a recipient of United Jewish Appeal monies. Her idea was to teach parents to play with their children.

Lunar, Religious Problems 40 — BUSINESS CARDS . "Although many of the families are second and third generation Israeli, --thay are on a low cultural level. The relationships between parents and their .young children is poor. Little attempt is made to _stimulate the youngster or to listen to him; most homes are without toys." With the help of a cash donation from a Disapora Jew, Anita and Mickey bought educational games. Then, aided by other teach- ers, they began a campaign among the parents. Anyone who brought a child to the nursery was repeatedly in- vited to learn about the Toy Library. At first attendance was poor, but those who came enjoyed the weekly meetings. Soon many people were participating. NEW YORK — Dr. Aaron Greenbaum, director of cul- tural and religious activities in Israel of the Joint Distri- bution Committee, received the Mordecai Ben-David Award at the 45th annual commencement of Yeshiva University last week. Dr. Greenbaum joined the American Joint Distribu- tion Committee in Israel in 1955. He began his career in communal life in –Portland, Maine. During the years 1940-45, he was the state chaplain of the Maine Har- bor Defense Area, was a member of the Governor's Council for Rehabilitation of Servicemen, and headed coordination of rescue work for European Jewry. For 10 years after that he was located in Yonkers, N.Y., traveling extensively for the Rabbinical Council Torah Tour Commission, visiting isolated Jewish communities and college campuses. He also headed the first Rabbinical Council Education Study Mission which investigated the edu- cation problems of rescued children in Israel. During this period he also taught Bible-and Talmud in Yesh- iva College. Jewish holiday for that mat- ter? The varying dates are ac- counted for by the fact that ours is the lunar calendar. Unlike the calendar used in every day life, the Grego- rian, which follows the posi- tion of the sun, the Jewish calendar follows the moon. In early talmudic days, the commencement of a new month used to be an- nounced from Jerusalem to the surrounding dis- tricts by beacons or mes- sengers, the rise of the moon having been seen by witnesses and duly checked by the authorities. Our calendar is based upon calculation and can probably be traced back as far as the early Greek as- tronomers who were known to the Rabbis of talmudic times. One of these astrono- mers discovered that a month is almost exactly 29 days, 12 hours and 44 min- utes. Another Greek who lived even earlier found that the moon or lunar yearsare grouped in sets of 19 which form a unit. The Jewish Patriarch Hillel II who lived in the- Fourth Century CE used these findings of the Greek astronomers and ac- cordingly fixed the Jewish calendar. Here is the way to calcu- ate tilt. Jewish calendar: If r the time between one new moon and the next were exactly 29''2 days, then the problem would be solved by fixing six months at 29 days and six months at 30 days. But there are three reasons why our mathematical oper- ation would not be true. One is that we have for- gotten the extra 44 min- utes; the second is that Yom Kippur must never fall on the day before or the day after Shabat, and Hoshana Raba must never be on Shabat; and the third, we must never for- get that the Jewish day commences six hours fore midnight. To ovt come these difficulties, th... Jewish calendar contains a number of leap years every 19 years. The leap years are the third, sixth, eighth, 11th, 14th, 17th and 19th. Consequently, we add another month — Adar II; and Adar I gets 30 days in- stead of 29. To prevent the difficulties with Yom Kip- pur and Hoshana Raba mentioned above, the festi- val of Rosh Hashana must never fall on a Sunday, Wednesday or Friday.
