"Tut's" Blind Ambition has gone public and we're celebrating with a $2,300 but the school uses a sliding scale for more than one child in a family and in cases of need. "We are going to resolve this ourselves," the rabbi said. "I don't want anyone to make a crisis out of this situation. We are often behind during the second half of the school year and we don't want to make a tummult about it." See related story, Page 48. Akiva Teachers' Checks Are Delayed Akiva Hebrew Day School, like Yeshivath Beth Yehudah, missed a payroll this week. But teachers stayed on the job because the school provided their checks one day later. Philip Applebaum, Akiva's executive director, said teachers were informed Mon- day that Akiva did not have enough money to pay them. Applebaum promised to pro- vide the checks by Wednes- day, and actually paid the teachers Tuesday when funds became available. "It is the third time out of 11 payrolls this school year that we have been late," Ap- plebaum said. "But I've told the teachers each time that they would be paid by a specific date, and I guess I've established some credibility with them." The teachers and staff, he said, have always been paid within three days of their scheduled date. Akiva, with 260 students, has an annual budget of $1.3 million. Tuition, which averages $3,000, covers just under half the budget. Ten percent is provided by an allocation from the Jewish Welfare Federation's Allied Jewish Campaign and "the rest is fund raising," Ap- plebaum said. , Next month, Akiva's board of directors will consider a tuition increase for next year.

At the urging of then-Mayor Meir Dizengoff, his municipal council and the citizens — all of whom were then on a first- name basis — the artists and intellectuals gathered at the Sheleg Levanon (Snows of Lebanon) or Kassit Cafe to plan an event. Thus the Adloyada was born — named for the Hebrew injunction that on the Feast of Lots, celebrating the Jews' salvation from the wicked wiles of Haman, a good Jew was allowed to drink until he could not distinguish between the names of the good Mordechai and the wicked Haman. With Dizengoff riding ahead on his white facsimile costumed-horse, the Adloyada carnival parade got off to a grand start. It continued as an annual event until the shadow of anti-Jewish excesses by the Nazis in Germany — even before the concentration and death camps — coupled with the Arab riots of 1936 con- vinced the city it was not pro- per to rejoice while their brethren were being persecuted. The Adloyada has never been revived in anything ap- proaching its original size or format, despite some efforts. Two years ago, shopkeepers and office owners along Rehov Sheinkin — one of the few streets in Tel Aviv to main- tain any of its original color and flavor — staged a "little Adloyada" with minor success. This year a procession, in- cluding youthful marchers and floats, will run through Tel Aviv's main streets. A modern Adloyada poses modern problems. Unlike the old Adloyada, for which only a few horse-drawn carts and primitive buses had to be withdrawn, the current mini- version is likely to cause a massive traffic jam with the diversion of hundreds of thousands of vehicles which cram into the city daily. This year, the most evident sign of the approaching Purim festival has been police activity in checking toy shops for the illegal sale of cap- pistols, cherry bombs and minor noise-making fire- works, the use of which has been banned following several cases of injuries to
