A

s the Agency for
Jewish Education
continues its restruc-
turing process, com-
plete with a slate of new
faces and ideas, one concept
remains a constant — how
to best attract youth.
Tova Dorfman, AJE's teen
program coordinator and
Community Jewish High
School director, is looking
positively at the school
changes made both in theo-
ry and practical use. She
brings her experience of
working in Israel and the
United States for Melitz
Centers for Jewish Zionist
Education. Melitz's goal is
pluralistic, using a variety
of informal educational pro-
grams in Israel and the
Diaspora to create and
maintain Jewish identities.
Co-sponsored by a num-
ber of area synagogues,
Hillel Day School and the
National Conference of
Synagogue Youth, the AJE
High School hopes to attract
students from a variety of
backgrounds. Teachers have
been chosen to represent
diversity within the commu-
nity.
A strong emphasis will be
put on Hebrew. Testing will
be done for proper place-
ment and hopes of attract-
ing Hillel Day School gradu-
ates. The program also will
focus on Jewish values and
issues. Class options include
Hebrew for Day School
Graduates; Senior Seminar:
Love, Marriage, Sex and
Family — Why Be Good?;
Ethics in the '90s; and the
Jewish Theatre Project.
After evaluating the last
few years of high school
operation, AJE made deter-
minations as to what did

and did not work in refer-
ence to topics, times, teach-
ers and informal program-
ming.
"We will look at contem-
porary issues and classical
texts. We'll discuss family,
sexuality, decision making
and Jewish continuity
among those preparing to
attend college. We'll talk
about how to maintain a
Jewish identity," Ms.
Dorfman said. "The goal is
to have kids come to a place
and discuss what is relevant
to them, not that which
they've never asked about."
On a more practical level,
the high school has altered
its days and hours of opera-
tion. Classes formerly met
Sundays from 9 a.m. - 1
p.m. and Tuesday evenings.
The 1993-94 school year will
begin with an open house
and registration Oct. 10.
Wednesday classes start
Oct. 13 from 4-7 p.m. and
Sunday classes Oct. 17 from
10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Students may attend ses-
sions on either or both days.
"We tried to make hours
more conducive to teens.
The classes are shorter, but
I believe the quality
remains. We're looking for
consistency," Ms. Dorfman
said. "Last year, kids who
stayed out late on Saturday
night never made it to class-
es on Sunday. They would
come about every third
week. It's impossible to get
in-depth about anything
without regular attendance
and participation."
Wednesday evening class-
es will include a kosher din-
ner and an hour of "issues
and answers" — community
leaders will discuss topics of
interest with the students. ❑

lthough Americans
