A ground-breaking cere-
mony recently inaugurated
the construction of new
facilities for the Givat Shap-
ira Bet School in
Jerusalem's French Hill
quarter.
Originally founded five
years ago by parents look-
ing for an alternative to the
strictly Orthodox on the one
hand, and the typically sec-
ular Israeli school on the
other, the school has been
singled out as an example of
a modern approach to
Jewish education.
Minister of Education
Zevulun Hammer desig-
nated it "the model school"
and asserted that he hopes
to see many such schools in-
itiated in the next few
years.
The concept began with a
group of parents who
wanted the sort of good
Jewish education for their
children which would
bridge the gap between the
rigidly defined "religious"
and "non-religious" streams
in the current Israeli educa-
tional system. The idea was
originally fostered by new
immigrant families from
the United States and other
English-speaking coun-
tries, but soon found a
strong response among sec-
ond- and third-generation
Israelis who also felt "some-
thing missing" in their chil-
dren's education, according
to school principal Barbara
Levine.
The Orthodox estab-
lishment perceived the
suggestion as a threat to
their control of religious
education and, Mrs.
Levine said, -fought
fiercely to prevent the
World Zionist Press
school's inception, with
demonstrations, letters
to parents and organized
opposition in the political
framework. Neverthe-
less, the parents group
found a sympathetic ear
for their demands within
the Ministry of Educa-
tion.
According to a.1953 law
passed by the Knesset, par-
ents have the right to de-
termine 25 percent of the
curriculum their children

study, Mrs. Levine noted.
Making use of this
privilege, the parents insti-
tuted a new kind of religious
emphasis within the ordi-
nary approach to primary
education. Representatives
of the Ministry of Education
visited and observed the ex-
perimental project and ap-
proved it as a legitimate op-
tion for "secular" schools in
Israel.
Known informally as the
"Massorati School," Mrs.
Levine emphasized that the
name was chosen before the
Conservative Movement of
Judaism officially changed
their name also to "Mas-
sorati" (Traditional) and
she said the school has no
connection and does not es-
pouse Conservative or any
other brand of Judaism.
Noting that Judaism has
always been "pluralistic,"
Mrs. Levine, who has re-
ceived degrees from the
Jewish Theological Semi-
nary and Columbia Univer-
sity and who served on the
Board of Jewish Education
in the United States before
making aliya in 1969,
pointed out that even
within Orthodox circles
there are a variety of
groups, each of which
claims superiority over all
the others.
The school's unique
approach, she said, was
to encourage an
actively-questioning per-
sonal experience of the
traditional Jewish way of
life, to make the ancient
scriptures and rituals of
Judaism meaningful
within the life of the stu-
dents.
The school opened in 1976
with 33 students in the first
through the third grade.
The school now has some
300 pupils in grades 1-7.
However, all the classes are
cramped into two asbestos
barracks which are de-
signed to hold a maximum
of only half the current
enrollment.
Three years ago the city
agreed to construct a new
building for the school, if
the parents could raise half
the costs of the project. Al-
though the administration's
demand was completely un-
conventional in terms of
new school buildings, Mrs.
Levine personally went to
the United States on a
fund-raising mission and, to
Adoption Rules
TEL AVIV (ZINS) -- The
Israeli Ministry of Social
Affairs recently called a
press conference to an-
nounce that Israeli children
could not be placed for adop-
tion with families not living
in Israel.
It can take up to several
years to adopt a child in Is-
rael. Israeli statistics show
that 90 percent of the chil-
dren placed for adoption are
born out of wedlock.
Get your enemies to read
your works in order to mend
them.

everyone's surprise, suc-
ceeded in finding the re-
quired support.
Businessman Samuel
Frankel agreed to contrib-
ute half of the $300,000
Mrs. Levine needed, and she
managed to raise the rest
from concerned individuals
sympathetic to the needs of
Jewish education. After
protracted discussions, the
project was put on the
budget though the price of
the building meanwhile in-
creased so much that only
half of the necessary
classrooms can be included
in the planning. The first
stage is contracted to be
built within the next year.
With 10 percent of the
student body coming
from culturally deprived
neighborhoods in
Jerusalem and more than
80 percent of the current
enrollment from second-
and third-generation Is-
raeli families, the school
has proved that it is not
merely a wild notion of
new immigrants to the
country.
