JERUSALEM — The Is-
rael Educational Prize was
awarded recently to Ameri-
can Mizrachi Women's Kfar
Batya Children's Village in
Raanana, near Tel Aviv, for
an inter-ethnic music proj-
ect, called an "experiment
in harmony."
Israel President Yitzhak
Navon, at a ceremony in his
home, presented the Minis-
try of Education and Cul-
ture's citation of apprecia-

Kfar Batya's music in-
structor who originated the
prize-winning program.

European secular music.
"As I grew older and had a
chance to visit more kinds of
synagogues, I was amazed
at the variety of melodies
that exist for each prayer.
Not only does each ethnic
group chant differently --
you get an Iraqi from
Baghdad and an Iraqi from
Mossul to hum the melody
of, say, 'Shalom Aleichem'
or `Yigdal Elohim Hai,' and
one will know what
the other is humming!
"At the Academy, I
noticed something else.
Maybe it was coincidence —

ior high school' and high
school youngsters, is one of
nine institutions through-
out Israel established and
maintained by American
Mizrachi Women.
The idea for the
award-winning project
occurred to Sobol "while
I was still at the Cantorial
Academy. It was obvious
to me that the liturgical
melodies I grew up with
were not the ones used in
the temple. SOme of them
sound more like Strauss

else! And that's under-

He proposed to set up
at Kfar Batya a class
composed of as many
ethnic groups as possi-
ble, devoted to research-
ing the mdsicar tradition
of the different cultures,
isolating the dimilarities
and the differences be-
tween the liturgy-of each
group.

The students share their
findings with each other in
open discussion. Thus, each
learns as much as possible
about the music of all the
other communities.

Four years ago, in his first
year at Kfar Batya, Sobol

for the lack of tolerence be-
