About 600 adults — Jews
and non-Jews alike —
attended at least one Mid-
rasha course last year.
While most students
attend classes on a non-
credit basis, United Hebrew
Schools consultant Renee
Wohl said it is possible to
obtain a bachelor's or asso-
ciate degree in Hebrew lit-
erature or Judaica studies
from the Midrasha. A He-
brew teacher's certificate
program also is offered.
Additional credits (semes-
ter hours) must be com-
pleted in secular studies at
an accredited general col-
lege or university to fulfill
degree requirements.

WALTHAM, Mass. —
The executive council of the
American Jewish Historical
Society will meet Sept.
11-13 at Brandeis Univer-
sity to plan the organiza-
tion's 90th anniversary,
which occurs next year.
•
Midrasha on Wheels is
the name given to the col-
lege's program of extension
courses outside the campus
in Southfield. Mrs. Wohl
said any group of at least
seven persons may request
a course on a Jewish study
topic of interest. Midrasha
will provide an appropriate
teacher for the time, day
and place chosen by the
group.
Semesters at the college
typically last 16 weeks.
Recognizing the desire of
some students for a shorter
time commitment, the Mid-
rasha began offering a
selection of five-week
"mini-mesters" last year.
Participants attend two lec-
tures of one hour each. The
topics have ranged from Is-
raeli literature (in transla-
tion) to coping with be-
reavement, to Hasidism in
Western Europe.
The Mina and Theodore
Bargman Memorial Lec-
tures have been an annual
presentation at the Mid-
rasha for 25 years. Each
spring, over a three-week
period, noted scholars dis-
cuss an aspect of the lecture
series' theme.
Lecturers are featured
once or twice a month at
the Midrasha's Thursday
luncheons.
For the new school year,
which begins Sept. 13, the
Midrasha is planning to
offer a women's center cur-
riculum. Dr. Zeff and UHS
consultant Rochelle Millen
are developing a core group
of classes with a feminist
orientation for both day and
evening sessions.
Registration for the fall
semester is under way at
the Midrasha. Classes are
available Sunday through
Thursday, between 10 a.m.
and 10 p.m. Reduced tuition
may be arranged for senior
citizens and others unable
to pay the full rate. For in-
formation on the Midrasha,
call Selma Silverman, ad-
ministrative assistant,
352-7117 or 354-1050.
