Pointing to the word tzedaka on the feltboard is Temple Israel third
grader Danielle Gorback.

"Mr. Cohen" is in plastics. He'd
like to expand the business but
doesn't have the moeny. His
daughter is out of high school and
looking for a job. No one will hire
her because she has no experi-
ence.
The imaginary Cohen family
and their problems were the sub-
ject of lively concern when
Pearlena Bodzin, the Women's
Division chairman of the Jewish
Welfare Federation School and
Youth Committee, and Susan Cit-
rin, vice president of the Women's
Division, brought their colorful
feltboard presentation to Temple
Israel recently.
With a show of hands, the
second-through-fifth graders
demonstrated their knowledge of
Sinai Hospital ("That's where I
was born!"), United Hebrew
Schools, Fresh Air Society ("I, was
at Brighton last summer"), and
the Jewish Community Center.
By the end of the program., the
students knew about the Hebrew
Free Loan Association, Jewish
Community Council, Jewish
Family Service, Jewish Federa-
tion Apartments, Jewish Home
for Aged, Jewish Vocational Serv-
ice and Resettlement Service —
all beneficiaries of the Allied
Jewish Campaign.

In the exercise led by Citrin,
Bodzin and Youth Adult Division
volunteer Andrea Zeme, the stu-
dents volunteered to play differ-
ent members of a Jewish family in
Detroit. As each person read a
card telling about himself and his
problems, the class determined
which of the Federation agencies
named on a feltboard could best
meet the family member's needs.
Their classmates pointed out that
the Cohens could go to Hebrew
Free Loan and JVS.
The thrust of this program is to
show children that they belong to
a large Jewish community. As
their immediate family provides
food, shelter and education, they
saw how Federation, "their large
Jewish family," can provide these
same things if they need them.
This unique program reaches
Hebrew school students from 2nd
grade through high school and
provides one of the few oppor-
tunities they have to learn about
Federation's family of services.

In the past five years, the com-
mittee has touched over 5,000
youths. This year alone, they have
been to 14 schools, seeing some
200 youngsters. To reinforce what
they learn, participants are given
pamphlets on the different Feder-
ation agencies. They are asked to
pass the information on to their
parents, who also may be un-
aware of the different ways that
Federation can help them.
Federation's School and Youth
Committee is a combined effort of
the Young Adult Division and the
Women's Division. Deborah Ris-
chall is chairman of the commit-
tee from YAD. Vice chairmen
from YAD are Anita Eisenstadt,
Michele Hgward, Amy Jacknow
and Freda Lerman. The commit-
tee's associate chairman from the
Women's Division is Helen
Gottlieb.
Volunteers are needed for the
School and Youth Committee,
with training sessions starting
this spring. Interested parties
should call Ellen Shocket at Fed-
eration, 965-3939.

Canadian Court
Alters Tradition

Toronto (JTA) — The tradi-
tional prayer service opening the
winter session of the Ontario Sup-
reme Court was held in an ap-
propriate but unusual setting last
week — Temple Anshe Sholom in
Hamilton, Ont. In the past it has
been held in a Protestant church.
Rabbi Bernard Baskin,
spiritual leader of the congrega-
tion said that as far as he knew,
this was the first time the service
was held "in a synagogue any-
where, certainly in this area in-
cluding Toronto." Baskin, a vete-
ran member of the Law Commit-
tee which includes members of the
clergy and several judges, had
suggested the venue and his offer
was taken up.
The service was attended by
area judges, lawyers, officers of
the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, provincial and local police,
religious leaders and members of
the congregation. It was followed
by a luncheon addressed by Alan
Borovoy, a lawyer who is general
counsel to the Canadian Civil
Liberties Association.
