from Brandeis University student Rosie Budnick, in which she told him of her exemption from two years of college language be-

cause of her JEA training.

Emanuel Dietz told the audience that he had resigned his position of Beth-El secretary before the letter signed “The Officers of Beth-El” had gone out. He called for unity in the congregation and suggested that a plan be set up to give post bar mitzva training at Beth El. ANOTHER teenager Sidney Miller was allowed. to talk, but only after his mother admonished the audience to let her son speak. Be said “There’s something wrong with the training we’re getting now, I don’t know what

it is, but it’s something.”

Both he and Max said they had not planned to talk but both appeared to have prepared speeches. Weinstein also said in his remarks that he believed that aside from the parents’ indifference the biggest thing wrong with current Jewish education was the fact that the child only spends five hours per week in the Hebrew school, and a total of the equivalent of the first six weeks of public school during his whole

Hebrew educational career.

Paller adjourned the meeting amidst shouts of people who wished to be heard or ask ques

tions of the speaker’s.
