Jewish communities throughout California are now being visited by a mobile classroom for Jewish education introduced by the Lubavitcher Hassidic movement in Los Angeles, to promote religious teaching among Jewish school children outside of their public schools but within a reasonable distance from these schools.
The children receive their instruction in a large trailer which has a seating capacity of 35 pupils. The trailer has been rebuilt into a classroom with seats, blackboards and even a small library. During a school day the mobile classroom makes it possible to accommodate 200 children daily. The program has been in operation in the city of Los Angeles for about a year and its success has stimulated the visiting of the “class mobile” during the summer months also in other communities.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
