Two hundred Tarbuth Hebrew schools throughout Poland closed here today due to a lack of funds.
Most teachers, despite their small salaries, have not been paid for the past six months.
Many schools are facing the danger of eviction from the buildings where they are located.
The Tarbuth administration is appealing for support and warns of a complete ruination of the Hebrew school system in the country with one of the largest Jewish populations in the world. It will issue a plea for help at the meeting of the “action” committee of the World Zionist Organization.
