More than 650 delegates from all sections of the country will attend a three-day National Conference on Jewish Education which opens tomorrow at the Hotel Roosevelt here. The conference is being sponsored by the American Association for Jewish Education, the national central coordinating agency which serves the Jewish educational needs of all ideologic groups in the American Jewish Community, as part of its 20th anniversary celebration.
The principal item on the conference agenda will be the consideration of a 7-year study of Jewish education in the nation today, the largest and most comprehensive of its kind ever made in any Jewish community. The survey was carried forward in 33 representative American communities and involved some 20, 000 persons. The study will be made public for the first time at the opening plenary session. Delegates will consider its implications at workshop-sessions and are expected to adopt a national program implementing its recommendations.
