A new series of classes on the secrets of
successful marriage begins the week of
April 29.
All are invited to

Each class covers an independent, com-

"The Art of Marriage" covers topics
such as how far one should go to make a
marriage work and when divorce is the
best option. Included are Jewish bedroom
