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.

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.
