Chicago’s Jewish business men with offices in the Loop will spend part of their lunch hour studying Hebrew in the Loop Orthodox Synagogue, under the direction of Dr. Elias Gamze, rabbi of the congregation, starting March 31. There will be classes in conversational Hebrew, writing and the study of classical Hebrew. It is said that this is the first time that business men anywhere will take part time off from lunch for such a purpose.
