It is the story of David Kepesh, an adventurous man of feeling and intelli- gence, a hedonist hampered by conscience and caution, trying to find a balance be- tween the pursuit of the flesh and the cultivation of the mind. 'The Professor of Desire" begins with the early years of Kepesh who grows up at his family's Jewish resort in the Catskills. Pushed to- ward academic success by his parents, David becomes a studious young man, de- stined for the scholarly life until he enters college. There his desire erupts and is realized during his year abroad. Back home again, Kepesh accepts a teach- ing position in California and marries a beautiful young graduate student whose life in the Orient challenges his own capacity for fantasy. Yet, her attempts at making dreams reality destroy their marriage. Divorced and living in New York, Kepesh tries to make some sense of his life. His mother dies; he becomes impotent; he goes into analysis. He is overcome by despair until he meets Claire Ovington who repre- sents his opportunity for permanent love and happi- ness, and a chance to bring together the many different ANNOUNCES We are now accepting a limited number of applications for a morn- ing Kindergarten class.

Arthur Brody, president of the AAJE, said the rise in the number of day schools is "particularly significant in light of a pronounced de- cline in Jewish supplemen- tary (Sunday and after- noon) schools over the same five-year period." There are 2,169 supplementary schools re- corded in the directory, Brody said, 12.3 percent fewer than the 2,473 listed in the 1973 edition. The AAJE president attributed the decrease in the number of supplementary schools, in large measure, to the closing or amalgamation of congregational schools resulting from "demographic patterns and economic pressures which have become in- creasingly prevalent in recent years within the Jewish community." Brody said that many schools operated by congre- gations "have been discon- tinued because of enroll- ment declines which paral- lel a drop in the Jewish birthrate, and that others located in urban areas have closed their doors as young couples move to suburbia and exurbia." ■ is, rtat3wroic aoceo3rmstCdocatiow goterix. ‘awCistfo acfahut, • 1 , • • • .• , • .• " • .....
