Greater support is being given to Jewish education now by Jewish communities, and professionalization of Jewish teaching personnel has progressed in the last ten years, Louis Hurwich of the Boston Bureau of Jewish Education declared here today addressing the opening session of the tenth annual conference of the National Council of Jewish Education.
The National Association Jewish Center Executives also opened its annual convention here today while the National Conference of Jewish Social Service opens its forty-sixth annual meeting tomorrow night at a general session to be attended by all groups.
Despite depression, the Jewish community has helped support the higher institutes of Jewish learning granting higher degrees, Mr. Hurwich pointed out in his summary of ten years of activity of the Educators’ Council.
Mr. Hurwich appealed for planning education on a broader basis, for experimentation, research and making large Jewish masses “education conscious.”
