"Teachers at their very best are artists, artists of the spirit," Syme said. "They fashion the beau- ty of the soul of every human being. There is no grandeur like success in such a work!' Nancy Sommerville of Novi Middle School said after the institute, "I found today to be most informative, positive and enjoyable. I hope I can come again next year. As a matter of fact, I am so in- terested in all that I heard to- day, that I plan to attend a Sabbath service some time in the next several weeks." "This has been the most in- sightful view of another culture and religion I have ever experienced," said Linda Toth of Lahser High School in Bloomfield Hills. I now can feel a greater sensitivity towrd my Jewish students and all things Jewish!' Ken Cook of Birmingham Groves High School echoed Ms. Ibth. "(It) helped me understand the beliefs and values of Judaism, especially the importance of home and family." Jewish Educators Write Curriculum On Peace New York — In an effort to help Jewish educators provide students with an under- standing of their options in the nuclear age, two Jewish organizations — the Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE) and The Shalom Center — have collaborated in producing the curriculum titled "Na'aseh Shalom: Let Us Make Peace!' Assisted by a grant from the Shefa Fund, the guide was written by CAJE member Lyn Fine, and edited by fellow CAJE member Les Bronstein. Ms. Fine is a Jewish teacher and social activist who travels throughout the United States lecturing on Jewish concerns, leading workshops on conflict resolution, and urging action for peace. Rabbi Bronstein is assistant rabbi of Temple Shaaray Tfillah, New York City. The guide is divided into three sections. The first en- One section suggests ways to integrate awareness of the dangers of the nuclear age into Jewish study. students to courages recognize that conflict is a normal part of living, and to examine how they deal with conflict in their daily lives — with parents, siblings, teachers, friends. The second section suggests ways to integrate awareness of the dangers of the nuclear age into Jewish study, liturgy, and life cycle ceremonies — Shabbat, holidays, bar/bat mitzvah, etc. The third section presents "basic nuclear literacy" infor- mation; answers the most common questions people ask; explores the complex dimensions of this subject for Jews; seeks guidance in Jewish tradition, and ex- perience; and challenges students to chose and stand up for their own point of view. The curriculum was design- ed primarily for use with junior high and high school students, but most of the lessons may be adapted or younger children or adults. The text makes extensive use of parables and quota- tions from the Torah, Midrash, and modern Jewish philosophers. It also quotes from the writings of great Jewish thinkers throughout history,including leading scholars of today.
