A meeting of the Coordinating Committee on Jewish Education,, representing the
Hebrew Teachers College (ETC) and the Bureau of Jewish Education (BJE), was
held Sunday afternoon, April 27, at the home of Judge Lewis Goldberg, 100
Willard Road, Brookllne. The following were presenti
Dr. Benjamin J. Shevach Dr. Max 0. Berman
Dean Eisig Silberschlag Leo Flax
Judge Lewis Goldberg Manuel Berman
Lewis H. Weinstein , Samuel Stohn-
Mr. Isaac Seligson stated that the AJP, at the request of the HTC, voted that
a survey on Jewish Education be conducted in the Greater Boston area. The
question was raised whether it .was desirable that a professional survey be
conducted, or whether the matter could be determined by the representatives
of the two educational agencies affiliated with the AJP.
It was the consensus of opinion that the representatives of the two agenoies
present at the meeting could think through the various problems confronting
Jewish Education in the community and that there was no need to conduct a
professional survey.
The opinion wss expressed that it was necessary for greater coordination to
be effected in the program activities of the BJE and the HTC.
One of the areas discussed was the procedure regarding tests given by the
Bureau of Jewish Education for graduates of Hebrew schools and those given
given as entrance examinations by the Hebrew Teachers College for its prospective candidates.
Both Dr. Shevach and Dean Silberschlag felt that the examinations could not
very well be coordinated, since the BJE examinations were geared to the
ability of all the Hebrew school graduates, whereas the HTC examinations
were geared to the eligibility for Hebrew school graduates to enter the HTC.
The two were not equal in goals and functions.
It was felt that if the uniform curriculum established by the BJE for the
Hebrew schools of Greater Boston had professional participation by representatives of the HTC, the problems on the elementary level oould be more
