Workshop on BBYO
More than 1000 women, mem
bers and friends of B’nai B’rith
Women of Atlanta, have been
invited to the first open work
shop of the B’nai B’rith Youth
Organization, scheduled at the
home of Mrs. H. A. Greenberg,

Oct. 24, at 10:30 a.m.
Mrs. Hilfred N. Bossak, At
lanta Regional Director of BB
YO, who conducts a monthly
workshop for chapter advisors,
has advised that “We consider
ourselves most fortunate that
Mrs. Leonard Bagen, president
of B’nai B’rith Women, and Mrs.
Michael Harris, chairman of the
Atlanta BBYO Committee, should
have supported an appeal made
by District 5 B’nai B’rith Wo
men vice president Mrs. Alfred
Reich to conduct such a work
shop. In our Advisors’ Work
shop we are only able to reach a
small corps of dedicated leaders
of chapters. By spearheading
such an intensive educational
workshop, which is to run almost
a full day, many more women
can be reached; much more in
formation can be imparted; we
have an opportunity to do a
much better public relations
job.”
Mrs. Joe Moret, projects vice
president, is in charge of ar
rangements; Mrs. H. A. Green
berg is hostess chairman; Mrs.
Carl Pearl and Mrs. Vi Schiff

Educational System
In Israel
UNITED NATIONS, (AJP) —
UNESCO released a feature
story this week, written by
Pierre Vernier, which hails Is
rael’s educational system as one
of the best in the world.
“Few countries have had to
face educational problems of
such vast proportions as those
that have confronted the State
of Israel in the last ten years,”
the article states. “In 1948 the
school population of Israel num
bered some 100,000. Today there
are over 500,000 school children
and students, whose families
have come from 60 different
countries, who use more than 70
languages and who have ways
of life and thought as varied as
their tongues."
The author of the UNESCO
article concludes that “the period
of ten years has been long
enough to show that great pro
gress has been made in raising
the cultural level of the new
immigrants, particularly of the
younger generation, and the re
sults already obtained augur
well for the future.”
Mr. Vernier basis has article
on a UNESCO study written by
M. Avidor, Director General of
the Ministry of Education in Is
rael.
