An Intensive . examination of ■ the whole panorama of Jewish education in Metrp-politan Toronto will be undertaken by the Study Committee on Jewish Education, headed by J. Sydney Midanik,:actording to an announcement by Donald Carr, president of the United Jewish Welfare Fund of Toronto.
The Committee was set Up by the UJWF, which allocated about $900,000 a year to the Board of Jewish Education and the schools affiliated with it.
Areas to be explored by the Study Committee will encompass educational programing in subsidized and non-subsidized schools and will include: Financing of Jewish education; day schools; day high schools; evening schools; teacher recruitment and training and Board of Jewish Education.
A sejjarate task force will be assigned to ' each area to be surveyed. Mr. Midanik said the task forces are now being organized and are expected to begin their hearings early in November. They will be aided by professional staff. Composition of the task forces will be announced shortly.
According to Mr. Midanik, the main thrusts of the survey will be aimed at the problem of finances and how toestablish priorities within the framework of the financial resources available and an introspective and objective look at the quality of Jewish education

throughout Toronto to determine if the community is getting the best type of education in relation to its investment.
Mr. . Midanik said the operation of the Board of Jewish Education will be examined to determine what other services, if any, should be provided.
Trends in Jewish education in other large North American centers will be studied to compare with activities, here. The educa-
tional systems in Denver, Baltimore and Chicago are currently under review and the information gathered there is expected to be useful in providing a basis of comparison.
Mr. Midanik said the Study Committee will ihvitie submissions from rabbis, school boards, principals' and teachers' associations and anyone else in the community interested in Jewish education.
Mr. Midanik, chairman of the Study Committee, was a member of the Toronto Board of Education for nine years, served as its chairman in 1957 and was chairman of the Metro Toronto School Board in I%2.'

Minister describes Arab gains in speech at York
by Larry Anklcwicz
Peace would bring "untold blessings for untold millions of people," not only in Israel, but throughout the Middle East. On this note, Dr. G. Douglas Young, head of the American Institute of Holy Lind Studies in Jerusalem, concluded an hour long talk at York University last week.
Appearing very optimistic about conditions in the Middle East, Dr. Young refused to put the blame for the.present situation oh either the Arabs or the Jews. Both side could be blamed. Dr. Young stated, but "it's a waste of time . . . because it's not going to solve anything."
Instead, Dr. Young related events he himself had witnessed as a resident of the area for the past eight years. Since the Six Day War of 1967. the doctor said, the Arabs of the West Bank have ruled themselves, have benefited from higher wages and improved living conditions, and have had their holy shrines protected. ■
Arab contractors are starting to build again and several large apartment projects are now under way with the aid of loans from the Israeli government.
This does not mean that the Arabs have learned to love the Jews, but they don't want the Jordanians back either. They want a government of their own.
Dr. Young emphasized that within the occupied territories, Arabs and Jews are beginning to realize thatthey can work with each other and that things may improve in the future.
"Internally, the situation Is hot so bad," Dr. Young said.
The trouble. Dr. Young continued, stems from people on the outside whose interests are not served by peaceful co-existence between Palestinians and Jews. He pointed out that the Russian advance Into the Middle East has been one of the major causes of trouble in the area.
If left alone. Dr. Young seemed to think, the Arabs and the Jews could reach a solution to their problems and could .learn to live together In peace.
Dr. Young is currently visiting Toronto and on Sept. 23 spoke at the University of Toronto and on Sept. 26 he appeared at the Beth Emeth synagogue in North York.

Dr. Trudy Wise Rosmarin, editor of the Jewish Spectator, has published a blistering attack against certain segments In Orthodox Jewry.
In her editorial pages of the September issue Dr. Rosmarin mounts a withering assault against the ultra-Orthodox, who, in her opinion, commit sins that can never been forgiven. (A rather frightening thought during these da:ys of penitence.)
Recounting an incident she witnessed at a recent wedding where an ultra-Orthodox rabbi humiliated aCbnserva-tive rabbi in public, the fearless Miss Rosmarin goes on to blast the conduct of other ultra-Orthodox rabbis, one of whpni has reportedly refused to In-, struct Conservative and Reform Jews , in Torah study.
Miss Rosmann is all the more annoyed because Jewish tradition (the pertinent sources of which she quotes at length) explicitly forbids the kind of behavior she finds all too often among the ultra-Orthodox. , I
She records that yeshivah students who attend certain of the ultra-Orthodox institutions In Israel, freely engage In black market currency exchanges. The editor of the Jewish ^ Spectator ' also singles out tin ultra-Orthodox member of the Knesset for special, condemnation because of alleged unethical practices.
Throughout her piece Miss Rosmarin is careful to use the term "ultra-Orthodox."
. Jewish mothers might do well to consult the September issue of the Financial Post. The magazine section containsa fas-
cinating article pn stress factors. Contrary'to what most people think, success.'in one's endeavors can produce as much stress as success.
Reseai-clier Dr. John Glebe has created a stress scale that assigns a numerical value to important events In one's life. A combination of any of these stress-moments leading up to an accumulation of 3(X) points can cause serious illness according to Glebe.
Marriage, even a successful one, can l)e very dangerous on the stress scale. Glebe accords this change In thie life pattern SO points.
Marriage receives more points than retirement from one's work (45),foreclosure of a mortgage (30) and trouble with the boss (23).
Morale! Take It easy withnewly married people. They have enough stress! ,.♦ ; .* . *■
It's a pity that UN meinbers can't get a look at the September! Israel magazine.
When they get around to discussing the Jerusalem issue, it might do them well to see the pictorial record that the magazine has compiled of Jordan's treatment of Jewish holy places in the Old City.
With"before" and '^fter" photographs the magazine shows the neglect and destruction which the Arabs meted out to Jewish synagogues and cemeteries.
Jordanian ofTicers* billets had gravestones used as pathways. The names of the deceased areclearly visible on the stones. Even in death these souls were denied rest.
Synagogues in the Old City were filled with rubbish of all kinds and even converted into privies.
