a resolution urging local federations and welfare funds to provide adequate budgets for Jewish educational needs was adopted here at a conference of Jewish educators representing 15 mid-Western Jewish communities.
Another resolution expressed the conviction that the five politically-dominated systems of education in Israel should be substituted, as soon as possible, by a unified non-political public school system. The resolution declared that only a public school system free of domination of political parties will foster a spirit of unity and mutual tolerance among the people of Israel.
Dr. Moses Zalesky, of Cincinnati, speaking on “The Place of Israel in the Curriculum of American Jewish Schools,” stressed that the basic objective of American Jewish education is to prepare children for a happy and well-adjusted life in America, but urged that Jewish children be inspired to take just pride in the accomplishments in cultural creativity of the Jewish state.
