THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS lanpn n1\11 711V2 to all our friends and relatives distinct educational alternatives — the religious and the secular. The religious schools strongly emphasize Orthodox education. The secular schools, on the other hand, teach the Bible as literature and history, with far less atten- tion given to the Jewish religion per se. Either alternative satisfies most families, but not all. The Frankel School is the result of the efforts of a group of parents to create a middle path. The par- ents take pride in their Jewish- ness and want their children to do so as well. They do not, however, subscribe to an Orthodox way of life. Another unique feature of the school is the direct involvement of the parents in the educational process. Some parents involve themselves in after-school pro- grams and /extra-curricular ac- tivities. The curriculum, new to the Is- raeli school system, has been de- veloped based on secular as well as Torah studies. The emphasis, however, is placed on an ac- ceptance of religious diversity. Barbara Levine, the principal of the school describes the school environment as one which prom- otes openness and one which pro- vides an ample opportunity for what parents and school officials consider a healthy questioning of tenets. The school, which opened its doors to 33 students in 1976, today has approximately 530 students in eight grades. Plans for a junior and senior high school program are being considered for next year. The success of the school and the desire among many Israelis to find some middle ground between the existing educational alterna- tives, has led to the planning of schools similar to this one throughout Israel. U.S. insurance firms reported helping Nazis Washington — A number of American insurance companies provided the Nazis with informa- tion that helped them find and sink merchant ships bound for Europe during World War II, Parade magazine reported re- cently. According to the magazine, when war broke out in 1939, sev- eral underwriters saw no reason to alter their practice of cabling their European partners with the names, contents and routes of the vessels they insured — including those carrying war supplies to Britain. When columnists Walter Win- chell, Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen uncovered the facts, the in- surance companies denied the charges. The U.S. Justice De- partment eventually stepped in and some firms began self- censorship, but the cables contin- ued until the passage of the Es- pionage Act in 1943.
