Thirty American high school students sailed for Israel yesterday to participate in the fourth annual summer study project sponsored by the Department of Education and Culture of the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
The youngsters, who will attend courses in the Hebrew language and literature, are all students of Hebrew at high schools in New York City, Buffalo, Newark, Providence, Chicago and other communities. Co-sponsors of the project are the Hebrew Culture Service Committee for American High Schools and Colleges and the Jewish Education Committee of New York.
