Under the direction of Rabbi Elliot M. Burstein, of this city, District Grand Lodge No. 4 of the B’nai Brith has launched a training school by correspondence for children in rural communities who have no other religious educational opportunities.
While the course has just been started, a highly encouraging response has been received, Dr. Burstein reports.
The course is designed for the benefit of children from grammar to high school ages and is open to residents of the entire territorial jurisdiction of District Grand Lodge No. 4, which comprises all of the western states and British Columbia.
