Detroit Friends of . Bar-Ilari University Are
Strengthening. Units for 25th Anniversary
Emery I. Klein and
Robert H. Naftaly, general
dinner chairmen, and Dr.
Leon Fill, vice president of
Bar-Ilan University's
American Board of Over-
seers, have announced an
expansion of Bar-Ilan's
structure in Detroit. All ef-
forts are being made to help
the university expand dur-
ing its 25th anniversary.
Dr. Fill, recently elected
to the board of directors of
Bar-Ilan University, re-
ported on the progress an-
ticipated for the coming
year. He said that the
growth anticipated in spite
of economic difficulties calls
for increased support for the
university by American
Jewish communities and
urged such increases by De-
troit Jewry which always
led in efforts of support for
Bar-Ilan.
Irving Laker is heading
an educational memento
nting the history of
Ilan's first quarter-
century, assisted by Max
nchuk, Saul Waldman,
avid H. Morrison.
eading the new endow-
ment committee is Norman
Pappas. Pappas is con-
tributing from his extensive
professional expertise and,
communal involvement to
greatly increase Bar-Ilan's
[ World Endowment Fund.
Pappas has made substan-
tial progress in making this
a well-functioning compo-
nent of Bar-Ilan's activities.
This year's scholarship
chairmen are Dr. Martin
Hart and Myron Mil-
grom. Both are active in
communal affairs, with
Hart having served as

that Detroit takes the
lead in assuring that
every qualified student
has the me a ns to pursue
professional training at
Bar-Ilan.
This is particularly true
regarding students of
Sephardic origin, who make
up one-third of the univer-
sity's student body, and who
generally come from
economically-difficult cir-
cumstances.
Joseph H. Jackier is lead-
ing the effort to further de-
velop Bar-Ilan's faculty of
law. Jackier is a former
Bar-Ilan chairman.
Henry P. Lee and Salek
Lessman are this year's di-
rect solicitation chairmen.
Lee was scholarship chair-
man last year and Lessman
has long been an active
Bar-Ilan supporter.
Diane Klein and Judy
Naftaly are serving as' ar-
rangements chairmen,
helping to produce and
coordinate the Silver
Jubilee festivities.
Klein and Naftaly have
announced that the high
point of the Jubilee year
will be a gala dinner to be
held 6 p.m. Sept. 23 at Cong.
RAMAT-GAN — One
hundred promising pupils
from depreSsed areas in the
Tel Aviv region have com-
pleted extra-mural studies
given by Bar-Ilan Univer-
sity's Rabbinic Responsa
Computer Project. _
This is the second year
the studies have been held.
The youngsters devote four
hours weekly over a year to
them.
The Rabbinic Responsa
Computer Project at Bar-
Ilan aims at recording Rab-
binic Responsa given over
more than 1,500 years on
computer tape for easy re-
trieval and research.'
The pupils received in-
struction within the
framework of the develop-
ment program of the Minis-
try of Education and Cul-
ture. This year two groups
of pupils from state schools
were added. Their interest
was so great that a special
follow-up course was ar-
ranged for the school holi-
days.
During the year part of
the study circles were
held at the Bnei Brak
Yeshiva High School and
part at Bar-Han Univer-
sity. Half the time was
devoted to computer
studies. The other half
was taken up by Jewish
studies with the aid of
Rabbinic Responsa pro-
vided by the computer.
This method of studying
Torah with the aid of mod-
ern scientific methods has
increased the pupils' moti-
vation to improve both their
Jewish and scientific
studies.
