Current Affairs CUSSATJ.C.C. Group at Center LEARNS HEBREW That learning Hebrew can be easy and pleasant was the consensus of the Junior Hadassah Hebrew class which met at the 'Jewish Community Center for the t i n t time Thursday evening. Instead of memorizing the letters of the alphabet, members of the class found to their surprise that they would learn to read a ehort story in the very Interesting book "A People and Its Festiralfl." Still sceptical, they nevertheless tackled the "lesson" and by the end of the hour were . able to read and understand the first story. Membership In the group Is Open to anyone interested In acQulrlng a reading knowledge of Hebrew. The class is conducted by the Center in cooperation .with the Junior Hadassah as part of the latter's national cultural fellowship program.
Opinions and ideas Are discussed and challenged every Wednesday evening at 8 -o'clock when the Current Affairs group conducted by Mrs. Ruth Neuhans meets at the Jewish Community Center for an hour of talking over the news of the day. The times are thought-provoking and the men carving today's history are extreme personalities who bear dissection and analysis, according to the group leader, who finds that members of the class are alert and interested in books, events, and people today. .' Membership ia open to all who enjoy participating in group discussion. Further information may bo • procured by calling Jackson 1366.

THE JEWISH FREES Progressive forces of tite world. This alliance will give his existence dignity s.nd his struggle meaning. As long as the Jew "goes on pleading for Epe&al kindness and special tolerance in a world increasingly heedless "of those qualities, he must sing into ultimate despair." Ia accepting this task the Jew is timely returning to his historic destiny of being "A Light Unto tbe Nations," Only when he serves thus can he be happy, even ia the midst of pain and sorrow and death. And when he fails here, the pursuit after security and peace must culminate iu disaster. This is truly an important book: for the American Jewish community, for the Christian world. Because it contains co many unpleasant harsh truths will it be hated and belittled by both Jew and Christian. The thesia however is fundamentally sound and not to be denied or dismissed, except to our own sorrow aad shame'. It is the duty of every Jew to read "The, Great Hatred" and to learn the nature thereof and its causes. And if he will then dedicate himself anew to the noble task of fighting for the Kingdom of God bis present agony will transfigure him. -
IZRAGHI WOMEN A regular meeting of the Mizrachi Women's organization will be held at the Jewish Community Center at 2 o'clock on Wednesday, February 19. Mrs. Aaron Katz, president, hopes the meetIng will be well attended as she wishes to propose to the members for their approval a new method to increase the chapter's revenue, in order to meet the increased quota. One of the outstanding Pales-

tine projects of the &rgaa.iiatioa is tte Beth Zeirota MisraeLI ia Jerusalem, a. vocational and tr&iaing center for adolescent girls. Hundreds of girls have had the advantage ia the last fire years of receiviag a thorough technical and ECS-demie training in tiie two year coarse. Thus they have been provided with tite means for physical rehabilitation and economic training. The Beth Zeiroth Mfzrechi of Tel Aviv is coaducted along the same lines as the school in Jerusalem. Housed in this school is the Beth Citalutzotfi which provides home, care, and opportunities for earning to unemployed refugee working girls. The girls training farm offers agricultural training to its resident stadents in preparation for work on farms. In the Mizrachi Girls Teachers Seminary, girls are trained foi the teaching profession. The graduates of this school carry with them a love for the spirit of the Torah and disseminate these teachings among the children in the various schools ot Palestine. In addition to its schools in Eretz Yisroel Mizrachi Women includes among other services the provision of free lunches to children in the Mizrachi schools. Mizracbl Women also conduct two camps where underprivileged youth is cared for 'during the summer months. V/ith the outbreak of the European war, it became necessary to send food supplies to Palestine. Mrs. Bessie Gotsfeld, whose home for the past eight years has been Tel Aviv, writes that in Jerusalem three children's clubs are functioning and in Haifa there is one. She adds: "The first nursery In "Kfiar Pines" is to be opened in a few days. This will be of an enormous help to the working mother in the Moshava.

In addition to the regular badget for the schools, Mrs. Qotsfeld writes, and the social service activities, help has been extended to the KibuU "Emunim."
