College of Jewish Studies Issues Anthology, New Hebrew Textbook

The publication by the College of Jewish Studies Press here of an anthology of contemporary Jewish essays and a new Hebrew textbook was announced today by Dr. David Weinstein, president of the college.

The anthology, entitled “Modern Jewish Educational Thought — Problems and Prospects,” is a collection of lectures and essays by outstanding modern Jewish thinkers, including Israel’s President Zalman Shazar, former Premier David Ben-Gurion, and Professor Abraham Joshua Heschel, of the Jewish Theological Seminary. The textbook, “Essential Hebrew by Examples,” co-authored by Dr. Weinstein and Dr. Moses Steiner, employs a new approach to the study of Hebrew, enabling the student to acquire an extensive vocabulary by means of sentence examples suggesting a structural pattern, without using complex rules of grammar.
