CLEARANCE SALE WHAT IS P'TACH? Parents for Torah for All Children. "P'TACH," is a national non-profit organization which provides secular and Jewish education for children with learning disabilities who are enrolled in our schools. Before P'TACH existed, the doors of almost all day schools were indeed closed to children with all levels of learning disabilities, and the parents of these special children were often frustrated by a community that failed to recognize the need for providing special educational programs in our schools. Now, through P'TACH, the doors of our schools are "OPEN" to all our children. Maple-Drake Offers Classes The Maple-Drake Jewish Community Center is offer- ing several new classes. The Nancy Gurwin Theater Program will have theater classes for young people, grades 7 through 12 starting Jan. 14. Included is stage movement, performing, voice, acting, auditioning and general musical theater training. This theater class will be at the Maple-Drake Jewish Community Center for 10 weeks. There is a fee. One of the classes of the Jewish Community Center's "Center for Jewish Creativi- ty and Exploraton" will be discussions with Dr. N. Paul Silverman of major pro- totypes in Hollywood: From the stern "patriarch" to the "Holocaust survivor," to "assimilation," how the Jewish mother has been por- trayed in films from "long suf- fering" to the "shrew," what happened to the Jews in the 20s and the 30s as demonstrated in film. These topics will be review- ed with Dr. Silverman after viewing the films: Jazz Singer, Seize the Day, Pawn- broker The Heartbreak Kid, and Crossing Delancey. These classes will meet at the Maple-Drake building Tuesdays 7:30-9:30 p.m. star- ting Jan. 15. There is a fee. The "On Camera" class at the Center is for the child in- terested in the performing arts and the desire to experience television pro- duction.
