"Here we found a path (on which) we can all walk together," Rabbi Cohn said. Rabbi Aft added, "It brings the Reconstructionist, Or- thodox and Conservative viewpoints together. It shows we have more in common and less that separates us." The Family Living Room gives Cohn "the opportunity of Jewish Americans' achieve- ments and customs will find a feast in JEWISH TIMES." — PHILLIP LOPATE, New York Times Book Review "JEWISH TIMES is a delightful offering of memories—often enlightening, always entertaining."

Mrs. Appleman said she hopes the program will pro- vide inspiration to Jewish families to study together. She said she hoped the Jewish Welfare Federation will use the Family Living Room model in its leadership development programs "as a vehicle to pass down to their kids. It is a wonderful oppor- tunity for the communtiy to get involved in something ex- citing!' The program has already proven to the Brookenthals that it can be fun and ex- citing. "I'm fascinated by the way they run the program, " Mrs. Brookenthal said. For Heidi, the Family Living Room was "great — it was fun, too!' And in a subtle manner it also taught a little Ibrah, and for Rabbi Cohn, "that's what it's all about!" Deadline Nears For 'Discovery' Nine Detroit area high school students are enrolled in "Project Discovery?' the American high school in Israel program, sponsored by the Detroit Jewish Welfare Federation and the United Hebrew Schools.

Educators Plan Chicago Meeting A Chicago "Kaleidoscope: Vision of Jewish Education" is the theme of the National Association of Temple Educators Conference to be held in Chicago from Dec. 22-26. N.A.T.E. is the professional organization of more than 600 men and women from Canada, England, Israel, the Republic of South Africa and the United States, who are the educators, principals, rab- bis and cantors responsible for providing the leadership in religious education for con- gregations affiliated with the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. There will be a variety of workshops and programs focusing on visions for the educator, teacher, student, school and congregation. Highlighting the con- ference will be a talk by Ben- jamin S. Bloom, professor of education at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. Dr. Bloom concep- tualized the theory of mastery learning and has been a major force in the development of many mastery learning programs. Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, president of the U.A.H.C., will speak on "Vi- sions for Our Congregation!' Participants will also hear Myriam Mendelow, founder and director of "Lifeline?' an organization in Jerusalem which conducts workshops designed to teach the elderly skills to enable them to become self-supporting.
