Set up new teacher training program
By JANICE ARNOXD
MONTREAL'--
.A small revolution has. taken place on the Que-. l)ec Jewish ■ education scene. For the first time, a universitv-level Jewish teacher training program has been established entirely within a secular institution.
McGill Univ.ersit V launched the new program this month for its first fullv-operational year. Offered bv the faculty of.education in con-[unction with the Jewish studies program. ■. the three year course of studies, .qualifies ■ the graduate for a Bachelor of Education degree and prepares him for teaching ; in Jewish day and supplementary schools, summer camps, youth groups, or retreat: centres.
A four-vear Bachelor , of Arts diploma program is still o?i the drawing, board.
■ Director- of the program. Professor- Seymour Epstein.' 28. who guided the program through its experimen- . tal but successful first year, feels there is a; "definite need for native teachers" in North A> merican schools.
.Canadian Jewish educational institutions have tended,to fall from European to Israeli hands for want of :local administrators and teachers.-' ■■
"Epi," as he is.called by his students, envisions a new breed teacher whose talents
will enrich the present school system."a teacher who has a repetoire of learning/teaching models : ... not a teacher who can only approach a student with a text m . a frontal situation."
The 20 students involved in the teacher training program will be instructed in education^ al theory and methodology as well as courses m Jewish Studies. Then-second year.will be spent at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the third will be devoted to field work and practical classroom experience.
Epstein IS sold to the
idea of integration of Jewish studies with-the . world around him .(the. student) and vice versa. -••I want a teacher who IS. well-grounded in Jewish sources, who feels completely competent in .Hebrew or Yiddish."
Though the program is highly-structured. Epstein strives to keep an informal teacher - stu-, dent relationship in order to mould a close-knit." committed group whose members share a common purpose.
Part of the program includes weekly meetings, seminars, and' weekend retreats which
Epstein hopes will reinforce the bond between the group. Yearly pro^ lects are another facet of thecourse, this year's being the publication of a booklet aimed at Jewish school. children listing, 'learning resources in the Jewish communitvof Montreal such as the YMMA. cemeteries, the Baron de Hirsch, etc.
Although the Jewish teacher training . program is open to anyone who qualifies for McGill acceptance, classes will be kept smaH to insure that. the present informality and cohesiveness ' is maintained.
The founding of the program at McGill is the result- of a study done by the Jewish community of Montreal which recommended that Jewish teacher training be taught at the university level.
Certain aspects of the Jewish teacher training program, such as the retreats and. the trip to Israel, are financed entirely bv the Allied Jew-.
ish Community Services but with each year McGill University assumes more of the operational costs.

TEL AVIV -.
How rapidly are the new immigrants, from the Soviet Union and other-countries beingabsorbed into the economic life of Israel? How well are Israel's industries recov-. ering from the effects of the Yom Kippur War? How smoothly do Jews and : Arabs.work side, bv side?
These and other questions about Israel's.economy and society/arel)e-. ing answered daily in many part^^of the countrv as . men and women, old -timers and newcomers, Jews and Arabs, go about their work — quietly, seriously; diligentlv—-producing a variety of-goods and services instead of news headlines.
At the age of M, .^Jacob Weisglassgave.uphis job as a foreman ina texr tile null in Bukovina, Russia, to emigrate to Israel with his wife and daughter. He now works at a chain-loom machine weaving textiles at a factory for men s and worn-en s ready - to - wear clothing, some- 70%; of
which is exported. ..
Until, he came to Isr rael several years ago, David Mareli was a tailor and owned a. small coffee house in Morocco.. He supports hus wife and five children as. a skilled pattern-maker at a clothv mg factory in Kiryat-Gat.
Last-- year, Isaac .Ra- . bavov was a shoemaker in the Soviet Union. One of the 34,000. Russian Jews who arrived in-Is-. rael in 1973, henow.woi^ks. at a large furniture factory where -he operates an automatic saw. and other modern equipment.
RIM, the largest lur-niture producer in Israel, is located on the outskirts
' of Jerusalem. Founded nine, years ago with financial assistance from
.State of Israel Bonds. RIM today operates a 150.000 sq. ft. plant and has a. work force of 200. Among the employees are many new immigrants from Russia. . ■.. ■ ■
Like many other factories throughout Israel,
RIM suffered a drop in production during and af-^ ter the YomKippur War. Key personnel were call-
• ed to the army; It took about hall a >year for the, factoi'v to regainpre-war
•production levels.
The factory produces a wide variety of household
: Items, including kitchen units, W'all components.
bedding and upholstered furniture. One key to RIM's success has been mass production, utilizing basic designs and sizes. Another is the use of laminated plastics instead of wood; of which there is : a shortage in Israel.
~I[r;factories large and small, emphasis is being
placed on increasedpro-duction of goods for the export market in order to earn foreign currency and thus, cut the nation's l)alance - of - payments deficit. Factories like the Polygat Industries, a textile complext m Kiryat Gat. represent the progress being made with the aid of Israel Bonds. -
