DANCE TO AID
SABBATH
SCHOOL

Members Of the Woodmont
Country Club said today that the
majority of the club members will
attend the dinner dance to be
given Tuesday, November 3, at the
Mayflower Hotel, under the aus
pices of the Brotherhood and Sis
terhood Of the Washington He
brew Congregation. Proceeds will
be used for furnishing and dec
Grating the new Sabbath school
rooms. They said:
"Since many Of our members
ordinarily make plans to dine
and dance on election night,
they feel they might as well do
so at this affair and at the same
time help a good cause"
The undermining project OF the
Sabbath school, now nearing COM
pletion. according to Rabbi Ger
stenfeld Of the Washington Con-
gregation, will give Washington
Jewry one of the most advanced
systems of Sabbath schools in the
United States.
Division Into Groups
Instead of the usual segregation
into grade classes, the children
will be divided into groups named
after the tribes of Israel, and each
group will be headed by leader"
instead Of a teacher. There will
be courses in arts and crafts. a
dramatic class, and other forms OF
self expression which will enable
the children to learn their subjects
in a more interesting manner than
is possible under the usual Sab
bath school class system.
