"We plead that our parental duties will be shared by, the commu- nity:' The full time teachers at the local PTACH have mas- ter's degrees and have been approved by the state as fully qualified for the tasks assigned to them. Mrs. Burstyn said there are many children in need of PTACH help and there is now a special need to establish a girls' class. "We are functioning under a deficit, our teachers must be paid, we plead for the support that will hope- fully come from the com- munity," Messrs. Hirsch and Josephs and Mrs. Burstyn i said in their cur- rent appeal for help. Responses to the appeal for financial help may be made to the office of local PTACH at 23440 Church, Oak Park, 48237. Mrs. Burstyn may be con- tacted for more information and by contributors at 18250 Alta Vista, South- field, 48075, 559-2295. PTACH circulates a newsletter enumerating its achievements to its branches. A fact sheet printed by the organiza- tion lists the following gains made since its in- ception: Creation of a national organization to help parents of learning disabled chil- dren; development of pro- grams in yeshivot aiding learning disabled; creation of a high school academic and vocational program for mildly learning disabled boys in conjunction with Yeshiva University; estab- lishment of the Bayla Schnaidman Memorial Fund to promote the de- velopment and publication of special curriculum mate- rials for children with learning handicaps. Also sponsorship of a re- medial tutorial program for children with special learn- ing needs in cooperation with Brooklyn College; rap sessions for parents of learning disabled children; cooperation with Jewish Parents United in a feder- ally funded program to train yeshiva teachers in recognizing and working with children with special learning needs; annual pro- fessional conferences and workshops on Jewish spe- cial education for parents and educators; liaison with government agencies and other Jewish organizations. The program is geared only toward learning dis r abled children. This does not include the mentally re- tarded, emotionally im- paired or physically dis- abled but according to the Detroit chapter's definition, only children who suffer from a malfunction of the signal transmission appa- ratus between the receptor (eye, ear, nose, hands) and the brain. The child does not learn at the same pace as non-learning disabled, de- spite the fact that he may have a high IQ score. * Beth El School Teaching Handicapped Jewish Kids A program of religious education for handicapped children will be offered for the sixth consecutive year at Temple Beth El. The classes are being held under the auspices of temple's Prentis Religious School. Slated at 9:30 a.m. Satur- days, the classes are open to all Jewish children in met- ropolitan Detroit and sur- rounding communities. Temple membership is not required. There is a nomi- nal charge for each child enrolled. There are two classrooms divided on the basis of age for all handicaps except emotionally impaired chil- dren. There is an additional classroom for these chil- dren, supervised by a spe- cialist in the field. All of the teachers involved in the program have master's de- grees in the following categories: Learning dis- abilities, mentally im- paired, emotionally im- paired and music. All of the teachers are qualified and have had experience in handling most types of dis- abilities. Unlike . the PTACH program which sepa- rates girls and boys, the Beth El program is coeducational. The program • includes Bible and holiday stories, illustrated with creative dramatics, introduction to Hebrew, Jewish music and dance, Shabat services and cooking activities. A special feature is the Correlated chaverim (friends) program. This in- volves selected seventh and eighth grade students from the regular religious school who will act as helpers for their special friends. Interested parents should call Alan E. Waldman, tem- ple educational director, 851-1100. The Council of the League of Nations in 1922 con- firmed the Mandate for Palestine, incorporating the terms of the Balfour Dec- laration, recognizing "the historical connection of the Jewish people with Pales- tine and ... the grounds for reconstituting their na- tional home in that coun- try," and calling upon the Mandatory Government to place the country "under such political, administra- tive and economic condi- tions as will ensure the es- tablishinent of the Jewish national home."
