Academy Officials
Background of Its
Officials of the Hebrew Acade
my of Atlanta this week con
centrated on the teaching staff
instead of the pupils—and came
up with some unusual statistics.
Of course, declared Dr. Ed
ward Reisman, president, we're
particularly proud of our stu
dent body which has grown
from sixteen when the Academy
was founded in September, 1953,
to a current enrollment of 219.
But, he pointed out, we have
every cause to be proud as well
of our faculty and their terrific
educational background and
teaching experience. And since
a school cannot be judged only
by its growth but more impor
tant by what it offers its stu
dents—here’s where the back
ground of our teachers is so very
important, he added.
The average teaching experi
ence of the fifteen teachers on
our staff is 10.3 years, Some of
this wonderful group, Dr. Reis
man declared, have taught in Is
rael, the United States, Poland
and Roumania.
And, he continued, these high
ly qualilfied teachers received
their educational preparations
for teaching in thirty-three in
stitutions of higher learning, also
in the four countries where they
taught.
Here is a list of the institutions
in which the Academy teachers
have studied, indicating the wide
variety of their background:

Dr. Reisman pointed out that
the Academy is an accredited
elementary school, which in ad
dition to its regular elementary
school subjects teaches' 11 to 15
hours of Hebrew a week for each
student. The school averages one
teacher for every 14.6 students.
This year the - * Academy began
preliminary Hebrew language
training in its kindergarten with
the hiring of two qualified He
brew kindergarten teachers.
from Johns Hopkins University.
He is now a full Professor at the
Hebrew Union College and the
author of numerous articles,
monographs, and a book on
“Leon de Modena and the Kol
Sakhal”. In addition to member
ship in Phi Beta Kappa he also
is a member of many learned
societies.
The Institute will take place
at the A.J.C.C. and each session
will consist of a lecture followed
by an equally long discusson
period. The overall topic will be
covered in three sessions. Sun
day, Nov. 22, afternoon and eve
ning, and Nov. 23rd, Evening.
The topics of the three sessions
will be. (1) The emergence of
the national idea; (2) The rise
of the modern Western World,
and, (3) The emergence of the
State of Israel and the Arab
states. The two evening sessions
will be followed by a social hour
during which refreshments will
be served.
The fee for the entire Institute
is $5.00 per person and this in
cludes a syllabus outlining Dr.
Rivkin’s presentations. Since the
number of participants has to be
limited for technical reasons,
those interested are urged to send
their fees as soon as possible to
