While continuing educational

Increasingly abundant. the focus
of the Jewish community will al

monplace. But a Jewish educa-
ton on a high school level is
seldom considered. In 1854 only
about eighteen thousand students
of high school age were enrolled
in Jewish Sunday Schools and all
types of Jewish weekday schools
throughout the United States. This
explains the sad spectacle of in
terfaith gatherings in which Jew
ish youth are unable to answer
the most elemental questions
about their own faith. That is
why so many Jewish college
youth seek to escape from any
kind of meaningful Jewish affili-
alton. That is why we see so
many artists who create art by
Jews rather than Jewish art.
That is why among our people
there are so many intellectuals
who turn all of their interests and
talents into secular pursuits and
contribute so little to the strength
ening of Jewish life or to the
strengthening of their own inner
spiritual resources.
Those of us who are truly con-
cerned with Jewish education
will always plead for adequate
support of both formal and in
formal Jewish learning activities
at the college level. We shall al
ways encourage a continuation Of
Jewish studies throughout the
years of adulthood: for there are
no learned Jews today - only
learning Jews. However. we are
irresistiblY impelled to the con-
clusion that much of this effort
is futile unless and until we forge
the link of Jewish education at
the secondary school level.

The Bridal Apron
By EIeni

It probably isn't intentional
but Designer william Cahill Of
California, has any number of
bridal gowns featuring a sim
liar style theme--the apron
detail.
Whether or not he wants
brides wearing his new designs
to get used to the idea OF wear
ing aprons from the beginning,
the apron detail is definitely to
be seen in many Of his-wedding
. dresses.
The domestic fashion note,
however, is charming and
winds up looking as demure as
can be. And the apron fronts
on the wedding gowns don't
resemble anything that ever
graced a kitchen.
