The Jewish Agency-sponsored summer institute for students and teachers ended here yesterday. It was “summer” for the 230 participants who hailed from Brazil, Argentina, Chile and South Africa where fall is now approaching and the regular school year will soon begin. They had taken part in three months of sightseeing, courses and seminars in the Hebrew language and Jewish cultural subjects. Preparations are now under way for the summer institute for residents of the Northern Hemisphere who will be coming to Israel beginning next July.
