  • THE YIDDISH PRESS—AN AMERICANIZING AGENCY It Is
    THE YIDDISH PRESS—AN AMERICANIZING AGENCY By MORDECAI SOLTES, PH.D. Director, Extension Education, Bureau of Jewish Education, New York INTRODUCTION It is generally agreed that there is a great need to-day for civic instruction which will function more effectively. Our life and needs are becoming more complex; our stand- ards of civic behavior are being constantly revised upwards, and the civic responsibilities which our citizens must dis- charge are becoming increasingly difficult. Education for citizenship should occupy a central position in the public school curriculum. The civic pos- sibilities of all the school subjects should be utilized to a maximum, and the specific ideals of citizenship should become the possession of the pupils as a result of their entire school training and activity. In addition there should be provided, wherever neces- sary, aside from the general courses, supplementary in- struction to meet specific needs of pupils, which shall have been ascertained beforehand. This suggestion applies with particular force to schools which are located in neighborhoods of comparatively large immigrant populations. Wherever fairly homogeneous groups of children could be located, 166 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK it would prove best to make a diagnosis of the civic virtues ;ind deficiencies of the corresponding adult group, to es- tablish their prevailing civic characteristics, both favorable and unfavorable, and to develop, on the basis of the out- standing needs revealed, special supplementary courses that would tend to prevent or correct the expected short- comings, to improve the desirable traits and approved qualities which are insufficiently or wrongly developed, and to capitalize fully the civic potentialities of the younger generation.

  • Annual Impact Report Hebrew College 2020
    HEBREW COLLEGE 2020 ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT Resilience and Imagination LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear friends, It was about a year ago that our world turned upside down. I have been awed over these last months by your dedication, compassion, resilience, and imagination in the face of this difficult and unsettling time. I have been awed by the creative collaborations that have continued to put learning and community at the center of our sacred mission—in ways that are both enduring, and ever-new. One of the great spiritual challenges of this time has been remembering, in the face of the pandemic-induced separation that has kept us physically apart, that we are not alone. That we are part of something larger. We know this, but we so easily forget. We get caught up in the things that divide us, the things that make us feel isolated —even when we are not in the midst of a pandemic. We are about to celebrate the beginning of the Hebrew month of Adar. The Gemara teaches (in Bavli Ta’anit 29)—Mi she’nichnas Adar, marbim b’simcha. From the beginning of Adar we increase joy. The Hasidic master, the Yismach Yisrael, asks: “How do we enter the gates of this joy?” His answer: “We do this by loving our friends, and by uniting with the Children of Israel.” For the Yismach Yisrael, we are most vulnerable when “our hearts are alienated from each other.” This is why, he teaches, at the beginning of the month of Adar, we recall the Torah’s obligation for each and every member of the community to bring a required donation of half a shekel.
