Interest In Jewish Studies Proliferating At Yale U.
By STEPHAN GARBER NEW HAVEN. Conn (P-O)-More and more Jewish students at Yale are studying Judaism within the framework of their University programs. The increase results from several factors, including an apparent growth of student interest. Regular course offerings expanded widely this year with the addition to the Religious Studies Department of two new faculty members teaching Judaica. TTk: departmental offerings include text courses, history courses, and an intellectual Jewish history. HOWEVER, EVEN more indicative of student interest in courses on Judaism and Jewish concerns is the proliferation of College Seminars in the Residential Colleges dealing with Judaism and the Middle East. The College Seminars are innovative courses created by joint initiative of faculty and students. Suggestions for courses are screened by student-faculty selection committees within each of Yale’s twelve residential colleges, then approved by several Yale College committees and finally by the College faculty. Instructors may be drawn from Yale University personnel or from outside the University.
Approximately 75 or 80 of these seminars are offered each term. DURING THE fall semester just ended, a course was offered entitled, “The Arabs in Israel.” This seminar studied the circumstances and attitudes of Arabs living in Israel. The same instructor is teaching a course on “The Palestinians” during the spring term. Several other seminars offered for the spring semester also deal with the Middle East. Arie David, a visiting faculty member from Israel, is teaching a seminar called “International Bargaining: Mechanics of Peace in the Middle East,” which will involve students in a workshop for bargaining in international conflicts. The seminar “The Middle East in the Twentieth Century” deals with the history of that area during this century. In the past semester, a seminar was given on the Ottoman
Empire.
A COLLEGE seminar this spring on “The Sociology of Contemporary Jewry” is taught by a Jewish instructor of sociology. The course will survey American Jewish social history and will place study of American Jewry within the context of current sociological
research on American religious and ethnic groups. Rabbi William G. Braude of Providence, R.I., is teaching a seminar which is studying “the jewel of Haggadic literature,” Tanna debe Eliyyahu, in translation. The purpose of the seminar is “to explore in depth this ancient text” which itself “explores in depth the meaning of various passages of Scrip-
ture.”
BESIDES all these universitysponsored credit courses, students have established and are supporting Hillel courses in Hebrew and Yiddish, study groups on the role of the Jewish woman and on the weekly Torah portion, and two weekly Talmud study sessions on different levels. In addition, a group of students is planning to establish study groups this term on various aspects of the
Middle East conflict and the history of Zionism. This interest in study typifies the college students of today; the present experience at Yale is paralleled at other universities. While the present generation of students is generally less activist than their older brothers and sisters, they are definitely interested in learning about Jews and Judaism.

DETROIT — Jews here are withdrawing their funds from the Comhaonwealth Bank, the majority of whose stock has been sold to a Saudi Arabian, and two Jewish stockholders are reconside-Oog their positions.

sports event.
The International Handball Federation has ruled that Israel should not compete in the Asian Preliminaries of the Fourth World Handball Championships for Women in Seoul. India was involved in the situation, since she had refused to permit her team to play against the Israeli team. The forfeit threw Israel into the
Seoul contest.
An interesting sidelight is that three of Israel’s 14 players had postponed their weddings in order to compete in Seoul against South Korea, Formosa
Executive, and former United Jewish Appeal general chairman. He told the Detroit Jewish News that he plans to take vigorous action against the
