THE JEWISH NEWS

ith its lake and
nearby mountains,
Lucerne is one of
Switzerland's most
popular tourist destinations.
Visitors here can enjoy a
cruise along Lake Lucerne or
walk across the covered
wooden bridge that spans the
lake
it's one of the city's
most famous landmarks — or
take a breathtaking cable car
ride to the top of the peak of
Mount Pilatus.
But besides all these
pleasures, Lucerne offers to
Jewish travelers the chance
to see how this lovely city just
an hour away from Zurich
also is a center of Jewish
learning.
"This is a place where
Judaism really lives," says
Rabbi Kalman Rosen. "You
feel the spiritual drive here.
And it's a very good environ-
ment for Jewish learning."
In fact, this small town is
home to an international
Jewish day school for girls,
Beth Jacob Seminary, the
only one of its kind in
Switzerland, where Rabbi
Rosen teaches.
A visit to the school to see
its facilities and meet the
girls who live and study here
is an unusual travel ex-
perience for visitors.
Located on a quiet residen-
tial street only 10 minutes
from the lakeside, the school
is in a stately and old ivy-
covered corner building at
Schlossweg #1. The building
is set well back from the

street and stands high on a
hill.
Four girls are seated on the

outdoor swing on the day I
visit. They give me a friend-

ly welcome when I explain
that I've come to visit the
school. Perly Weiser, 16, is
from Vienna; Esther Herz,
17, is from Bnei Brak in
Israel; Gittl Hollander, 19,
hails from New York; and
Tsione Cohen, 18, comes from
Cleveland.

"We're getting experiences
here that we wouldn't get
anywhere else," says Gittl as
they lead the way inside. "Be-

ing with so many girls who
are of different nationalities,
you learn a lot," adds Tsione.
Altogether, 60 girls, ages 16
to 18, study here. All are
observant Jews. They come
from diverse places — Brazil,

England, Austria, Canada
and the United States.
They eat, sleep and study
together in a comfortable old
three-story Swiss residence-
turned school.

Before their next class
begins, my three guides
eagerly give me a tour of the
premises. They show me the
kitchen, where there's
already the smell of chicken
soup simmering as Jac-
queline Ehrentreu, wife of
Rabbi Israel Ehrentreu, the
principal of the school, super-
vises the preparation for the
Shabbat dinner.
Next we see the dining
room with windows looking
out to a garden, the two
