Initially, we were looking for some way to honor the graduates of our Jewish (ages 3-17) shows that about 62 percent are enrolled in some form of Jewish education: schools and the schools themselves.

Day school students generally The Schools(Greater Seattle): have a high level of knowledge about and commitment to Judaism. Greater Seattle's day schools reflect the diversity of the Jewish community: Chasidic (Chabad), Torah Umesorah (Seattle Hebrew Academy), a Yeshiva High School Chabad Cheder (Yeshivat Or Hazafon) and a community day school (Jewish Day School of Metropolitan Seattle). As recently as 15 years ago, Seattle had only one Jewish day The Chabad Cheder provides a wholesome Jewish environment with intensive Torah school.

Retention in the upper grades is a particular challenge.

One possible change that could be made is that Enrollment is open to synagogue members for the coming school year. Please call supplementary schools consider making Jewish teaching a full-time occupation: Some Joanne Katz Glosser, Educational Director, 232-8555, for registration information. D educators have proposed that supplementary school teachers become full-time Jewish family educators — instructing both children and parents and offering adult education courses as well. The concept and form of synagogue education would have to change. In the 1970s quantitative studies carried out by Harold Himmelfarb and others found that "Jewish schooling does not have any statistically significant impact on adult religiosity until there are approximately 3,000 hours of Jewish schooling. . . . Thus, in terms of the long-range consequence for Jewish identity, these data indicate that the type of Jewish education received by over 80 percent of those adult Jews who have received any Jewish education is a waste of time." By the age of 13 the average Hebrew school student is on a second grade public school level in terms of knowledge, yet the student is expected to have achieved a life­ long commitment to Jewish tradition and values. These issues pose serious problems for the community, since the supplementary school continues to be the form of education most Jewish parents choose. Innovative leaders are trying to create new structures and curricula and provide new teaching methods. According to the September 1985 survey by the Jewish Education Council, Greater Seattle's supplementary religious school enrollment was 1600 students — an increase of 434 students over the 1,166 supplementary school students reported in the Jewish Federation's 1979 demographic study. Both figures include the all-city community Herzl-Ner Tamid Kallah students rehearsing for graduation.

Adult Education Jewish adult education has been around for thousands of years. Judaism unfolds to the mature person. Moses received the Torah as an adult. Rabbi Akiba, the model adult learner, began his studies well into adult life. The Rabbis teach that education is a life­ long process and that learning is a form of worship. The Jewish Education Council publishes a complete catalog of adult Jewish educa­ tion classes each fall (as a supplement to the Jewish Transcript). The catalog lists classes sponsored by the University of Washington Jewish Studies Program, the Stroum Jewish Community Center, area congregations, and other Jewish organizations. Are the needs of special interest groups being met by the community's offerings? Concerns about assimilation, intermarriage, and the single life are often raised.

Seminars given by these scholars are also often open to the community. A formal agreement between the University of Washington and the Hebrew Universi­ ty of Jerusalem makes it possible for University of Washington students to participate in a year-long study program in Israel. Chabad's Yeshiva Gedolah is the first full-time post-high school Rabbinical Seminary in the Seattle area. The school's students are available to study one-to-one with members of the general community.

Preschool Education With the changing pattern of young families in the 1980s the importance of the Jewish preschool has increased dramatically. To meet the needs of the faculties and ap­ proximately 400 to 500 children, a Pre-School Principals Association was formed this year under the aegis of the Jewish Education Council. Members of the association in­ clude the Mercer Island and Northend branches of the Stroum Jewish Community Center Pre-School; Seattle Hebrew Academy; Chabad House; Pooh Corner; and Isaac's Day Care Center. According to Chairperson Pearl Kleinberger, the association's goal is to create a net­ work for exchanging ideas and a framework for mutual support within the preschool community. It has been said that a child's education up to age five establishes his or her educa­ tional pattern for life. By stressing the Jewish component and the love of Judaism, Seattle's Jewish preschools hope to give students a strong foundation on which to build their Jewish lives. This will be the "first ever" JDS graduating class in June 1987. Back row, left to right: Adam Caplan, Russel Katz, Anna Cordova, Jessica Dale, Melissa Pearlman.

Resolving Issues Religious School What are the means now available to resolve the many questions facing the com­ munity in the realm of Jewish education? Each temple, synagogue, and Jewish educational institution and organization has its lay and professional people working to resolve the issues that affect them. The Prin­ cipals Associations, under the aegis of the Jewish Education Council, also provide a forum in which to discuss common problems and concerns — and to find solutions. The Jewish Education Council is the central service agency for Jewish education and makes every effort to provide resources, services, and assistance to answer the needs of the Jewish educational community. Through its Jewish Education Planning and Allocation Committee, the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle tackles the issues for its beneficiary agencies — the day schools and the Jewish Education Council.

Becoming Involved There are a variety of ways to become involved in improving Jewish education in the Seattle area. Here are some suggestions: • Participate in the school's parents association. • Join the school board or committees that deal with education. • Join a Jewish Education Council task force study commission. • Volunteer to help as a teacher or librarian aide at a Jewish school.
