CORDIALLY INVITES YOU TO HEAR
DR. JUDITH LAIKIN-ELKIN
especially in these pressing
times of continuing unemploy-
ment and difficulties confronted
by academicians, to enter new
fields df endeavor.
Let it be recalled that ORT
was born in 1880. Its birth was
generated by a "private letter"
circulated in April 1880 to Jews
in many Russian towns. The
signatufes were of very promi-
nent leaders. They included S.S.
Poliakov, Baron Horace
Guenzberg, A.J. Zak, L.M. Ro-
senthal and M.S. Friedland. The
letter dealt with the permission
granted by Czar Alexander II.
The intention was to collect
funds to support existing voca-
tional schools, to help open and
develop new schools, to assist
the Jewish agricultural colonies
and model farms. There was a
widespread response to the call.
That's how ORT — Organiza-
tion for Rehabilitation through
Training — began, with the
Russian title Obshchestvo Ras-
prostraneniya Trudasredi Yev- ,
reyev.
There were many obstructions
to putting the ideal into prac-
tice. Russian anti-Semitism
played a role. The struggles that
were encountered to establish
training schools for young Jews
aspiring either for agricultural
or technical pursuits are his-
toric, and ORT became a bless-
ing.
The introduction of practical
ORT activities inspire acquiring
knowledge about the vast ORT
school systems that were or-
ganized in the Middle East,
Latin America and other areas,
and especially the creative tasks
in Israel where training in an
ORT school provides a graduate
with a diploma that could gain
him or her admittance into the
nation's universities.
The ORT presence in Ameri-
can communities, on a training
basis, pursuing the aims of the
founders of the great tause,
could resolve many arising prob-
lems for those who are unable to
pursue university careers as
well as for university graduates
who are unable to secure jobs in
the professions they trained for.
A great service thus enters the
important American scene.
