daism. It is open to the
community, and all are invited
to participate. There is a two-
tiered tuition fee, which includes
books and other study materi-
als. Members of B'nai Moshe will
pay the lower of the two fees.
N'siah is designed to help
adult learners set and achieve
new Jewish goals for them-
selves, including (a) being a Jew-
ish role model for their children,
(b) feeling more at home in the
synagogue, and (c) exploring
Conservative Judaism. The pro-
gram is appropriate for all adult
learners, whether Jewish by
birth or through conversion. It
is a vehicle for those who wish
to have an adult bar/bat mitz-
vah celebration as part of a syn-
agogue service, but it also offers
a solid adult Jewish study cur-
riculum for people who did have
a bar/bat mitzvah and want to
keep on learning.
Among the synagogue skills
that will be taught as part of the
N'siah curriculum are: (a) chant-
ing Torah and Haftorah, (b) giv-
ing a D'var Torah, and (c)
leading parts of the service.
Learning to read and under-
stand prayerbook Hebrew is a
basic feature of the N'siah pro-
gram. While some Hebrew read-
ing ability is helpful, all levels,
including total beginners, are
welcome to participate and will
be accommodated.
N'siah is open to the commu-
nity. B'nai Moshe will host a spe-
cial "To Sh'ma (Come and
Learn)" orientation and info ses-
sion about N'siah Jan. 8 at 9:30
a.m. Rabbi Pachter and Mrs.
Abramsom will give a preview
of the N'siah curriculum and an-
swer questions from prospective
students.
For information, call Rabbi El-
liot Pachter or Mrs. Rita Abram-
son, 788-0600.
Youth Center
Is Dedicated
A new building at the Halloar
HaOved Ve HaLomed Youth
Center in Safed, Israel, made pos-
sible by Rabbi Richard C. Hertz,
rabbi emeritus at Temple Beth
El and his wife, Renda, will be
dedicated Jan. 11 in Safed.
Known as the Rabbi Richard and
Renda Hertz Youth Center, the
building will serve young people
from 4th to 12th grades
Funding for the Center, which
is under the auspices of the Na-
tional Committee for Labor Is-
rael, resulted following a
Histradrut testimonial dinner
tendered Dr. Hertz in 1984. The
Israeli Ambassador to the Unit-
ed States presented Dr. Hertz
with the Histradrut Menorah
Award in appreciation of his ser-
vices to the State of Israel.
Publicity Deadlines
The normal deadline for lo-
cal news and publicity items
is noon Thursday, eight days
