Tel. LOcust 3520 4 toward religion and spiritual things generally, and believe that a constructive program is required to combat this indifference and to create a renewed spiritual and religious interest. That in order to make this work effective it is essential to have proper youth guidance with reference to the attendance at religious services. 3. That the growing indifference toward matters religious is noticeable particularly among children of high school age.

4. That the Jewish Religion has two high holidays annually, to-wit: Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur. That Rosh Hashonah marks the beginning of the Jewish Calendar and represents the ewish New Year and that Yom Kippur is the Day of Fasting and Atonement. That according to the tradition of the Jewish Religion these two high holidays are to be spent in the Temple and that all usual and customary routine is to be laid aside. 5.

That in the City of Milwaukee there has been noted a lack of Temple attendance on the part of children of high school age particularly, and that an investigation into the facts discloses that while it is the rule of your board that these children may be excused because of the Jewish Holiday, nevertheless the absence is counted against the record of the student's attendance and under certain circumstances, to-wit, a certain number of absences, imposes certain penalties upon such student. 6. That all educational groups are interested in efforts to rehabilitate religious interest and that your petitioners feel certain that your honorable school board desires to co-operate with the undersigned organizations and individuals and the parents in their effort to create interest in the observance by children of days that commemorate those signal advances by which men have been brought to a higher conception of their relations to each other, and of their ultimate destiny. Therefore, we respectfully petition your board to so amend or alter its present rules as to permit and encourage attendance at religious services on these two high holidays by school children without charging such school children with the absence because of the attendance to religious services. f- MArquette0920 Res.

and Sunday mornings at 8. At the services this Saturday morning, at 9:30, the special Consecration ceremony which will formally welcome the new children who have just begun their studies in the Beth El Talmud Torah, will be carried through. After the services the children of the beginners class and all the pupils of the Talmud Torah will be treated to a Kiddush and refreshments by Mrs. Ben Gill, chairman of the committee in charge of the Children's Sabbath Service. Children's Sabbath Services Beginning Saturday morning, October 10, and every Saturday thereafter throughout the school year, the children of the Beth El Talmud Torah will assemble for a special Sabbath service every Saturday morning at 10.

Mr. George Pomerantz will be in charge. The aim of the service will be to train the children to act as Baalai Tefilah and also to be able to read the Torah. At the conclusion of this service, which will be held in the vestry, the thildren will adjourn to the Temple proper where they will join in the "Musaf" adult service, and listen to a sermonette to be delivered by Rabbi Kleinman. It is hoped that the parents will co-operate with the school authorities to see that their children are prompt and regular in attendance at the Sabbath services, which will count as part of the studies of the Talmud Torah.

These Sabbath services will always feature a Kiddush to be served by members of the Sisterhood in charge of Mrs. Ben Gill as chairman. Friday evening, October 16, services will be held at 8. Rabbi Kleinman will deliver a Bas Mitzvah sermon in honor of the Bas Mitzvah of Celia Peckarsky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Abraham Peckarsky. Beth El Talmud Torah The beginners class of the Beth El Talmud Torah has been in session for the past week and is continuing to hold sessions Sunday morning at 9, and Monday and Wednesday afternoon at 4. Mr. George Pomerantz acts as the instructor. Already a large number of children are enrolled in the class, and judging from the type of children that are in the class, it is certain that the progress will be rapid There is room for some more children, and to give an opportunity to parents who have not yet registered their children to do so within the next week, registration in this class will continue for another week, after which registration will be closed for the season.
