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.
