A pre-planning Steering Com

over-view of the program with
top-level leadership was to be
held on Wednesday, November

Most bands used at BBYO func
tions are “great” but as a fittting
climax to what promises to be a
full, qualitive convention, a
“great, great” band has been hired
for the final social to suit the
most discriminating taste of the
twistingest twisters.
Focus of the convention will be
“Liinks which Bind the Past to
the Present,” and will include
such subjects as “Life in a Kib
butz — A Study on Human Re
lations,” "Jewish Folklore—What
is Your Attitude towards the Pre
sent?” and “Jewish Literature —
A Story of Jewish Terrorists, by
Gerold Frank.”
In addition to the usual con
tests, in order to determine final
ists who will then go on to com
pete on the Southern Regional
level against other BBYO Council
winners, the convention program
will also include Sabbath services
and an Oneg Shabbat at the
Ahavath Achim Synagogue. High
lights of the evening will be the
presentation of the winning AZA
Oration, followed by the first-

The BBG Jewish Dance con
test and Israeli dancing are

contest will be judged during the
break at the social, as an added
attraction to the evening’s pro
gram.
It is anticipated that about 150
conventioneers will be involved.
The A-M-C BBYO Council
formally voted that the social be
closed to all but registered A-M-C
conventioneers, except in the
matter of a date, who may be
brought for an additional fee
Dating, as at all other current
BBYO conventions, is not being
stressed. Outsiders who are not
dated will not be permitted to
attend, even if they are members
of AZA and BBG. The Council
has suggested that the conven
tion social is a “plum” for all
who work for, or appear to be
interested in more than the social
and athletics aspects of BBYO.
Saturday’s luncheon will agair
feature the 40th anniversary of
AZA and the 20th anniversary of
BBG.
Out-of-town AZAs and BBGs
will be housed with only those
Atlanta BBYO members attending
convention, in order to provide
proper supervision.
The fee for this convention is
particularly low since there is no
expense for hotel or camp ac
commodations; or convention
meals, except for luncheon on
Friday and Saturday. Included for
the fee will be insurance, the
band, officials carefully selected
for the basktball tournament,
identification badges trophies,
awards, refreshments each even
ing, the hiring of maintenance
staff; decorations, and all the
trimmings which go into Regional,
District and National Conven
tions.

Hebrew Academy Values Emphasized
By All Atlanta Rabbis
‘The Hebrew Academy of Atlanta is per
forming a commendable service to our chil
dren in providing^ them a sound and healthy
Jewish and secular education whereby the
future American Jewish leaders will be de
veloped. I am proud and happy to see the
way these children are growing. It is our
utmost responsibility and sacred obligation
to support by all means this ideal institution
of learning. Thus we will be privileged to
share in the advancement of the academy
with full credit to the Atlanta Jewish Com
munity.”
RABBI JOSEPH I. COHEN, Or VeShalom
“The Atlanta Hebrew Academy has made
remarkable forward strides in the past few
years and its intensive program of Jewish
education, integrated and blended harmoni
ously with the full Public School curriculum
as set forth by the Atlanta Board of Educa
tion, has attracted many of our boys and
girls and has had the enthusiastic endorse
ment of all parents concerned. We are proud
of the positive achievements of this fine Day
School and it certainly merits the full support
of every member of our community who is
interested in the advancement of Jewish
education in our midst.”
RABBI HARRY H. EPSTEIN,
Ahavath Achim Congregation
“If Judaism in America is ever to flower,
it is the Day School movement which will
provide the seed. If the lamp of Jewish life
is to bum brightly, it is the Day School which
will be the spark . . .
“In the ten-year history of the Atlanta
Hebrew Academy, the school’s rapid growth
has already been felt on the entire communi
ty. With continued support it promises to
maintain its rank with the finest schools of
its kind in the country.”
—RABBI EMANUEL FELDMAN, Beth Jacob
“The Atlanta Hebrew Academy is an in
stitution which promises to restore learning
to its rightful place in the Jewish Communi
ty. With its emphasis on intensive training,
both in Hebraic and general subjects, it can
not fail to grow into an institution to which
all of us can point with pride and say, ‘This
is Atlanta’s contribution to Jewish survival’.”
RABBI TOBIAS GEFFEN, RABBI EMERITUS
SHEARITH ISRAEL CONGREGATION
“The phenomenal growth of the All Day
School is our best evidence of the positive
ness pervading American Jewry. The At
lanta Hebrew Academy is the very heart of
our community. From its pulsating force new
energies will be carried into every artery
and vein of Jewish living.”
RABBI SYDNEY K. MOSSMAN,
Congregation Shearith Israel
“The Jewish community in the United
States comprises the largest number of Jews
with the greatest freedom and opportunity
anywhere in the world. Its size, its influence,
and its potential all combine to confront it
with the greatest challenge of any Jewish
community in the world as well. For upon
the Jews of America now rests—almost en
tirely alone—the responsibility to preserve,
to strengthen, and to deepen our Jewish herit
age. This we cannot do without a growing
nucleus of those who are steeped in a knowl
edge of the literature, lore and language of
our heritage and whose education prepares
them for study in, and the enlargement of,
that heritage.
“The Hebrew Academy strives to achieve
these transcendent needs for positive Jewish
life. Its intensive program for the select few
offers no threat to our cherished system of
public education. It deserves the support of
the entire Jewish community.”
