Today More Conyersant with Faith

New York City-Thc Jewish Women
Of America possess n better understand
ing Of the history Of the jew and Of
the ideals and literature Of Judaism
than Jewish women Of the past. accord
ing TO a report issued by the National
Council Of jewish Women surveying
the religious activities of its 22j Sec
tionS during the past year. Various
factors are given as the cause of this
encouraging tendency. In many com
munitieS. the local Council Sections
have formed study circles on the Bible,
on Judaism and Jewish history. Ere
qucntly these classes are sponsored by
the Council, jointly with the local Tenn
Pile SiSterhoCdS. The increasing pub
lications of books on Jewish subjects,
by the National Council of Jewish
Women, the Jewish Publication Society.
the Intercollegiate Menorah AsSocia-
tion. and private publishing firms have
afforded the women Il great number of
books about which their study activ-
tiles are centcred.
In Baltimore. Community Bible
Study Group was organized by the
Baltimore Council Section and the Sis
terhoodS. The meetings. which were
held twice each month, were addressed
by Rnbbis Morris ;. Lazaron. Edward
l.. Israel. William RoSenau. Adolph
Cohlenz. Israel EfroS and Louis Bin
stock The subject of discussion this
year was the History of the Jews. and
the text books that We're used included
Goodman's History of the Jews and
An Introduction to Jewish History"
syllabus published by the Intercol-
legiate MenOrah Association.
Several Council Sections devoted an
hour each month to a resume of Jewish
Events based on reports CLEANED from
our Jewish press. The Course Of
Study on Jewish Prayer" and AN
Introduction to Jewish Music" two
publications issued by the National
Council, have been in great demand by
the local study groups.
A recent innovation among Council
Study Circles is the plan Of using the
issues of The Jewish Woman" the
quarterly publications of the National
Council IF Jewish Women, as a basis
for discussing problems that concern
Jewish women throughout the world.
