Regina Resnik became in volved with the Ghetto of Venice when “The Monu ment of the Holocaust,” by her husband, artist Arbit Blatas, was installed in 1980. “On that day,” recalls Resnik, “I knew there was a drama in the story of that first Ghetto.” film won the grand the 1982 Interna tional Documentary Film Festival held in Italy.

My Visit To The Hebrew Academy **Your pride in the accomplishment of the school is justified..think your children are fortunate for having the op- portunity to grow in such an environment. ** Rabbi Isaac Furman, Prin- cipal of the Hebrew Day School in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, recently visited the Hebrew Academy. He was sent to evaluate the school by the Solomon Schechter School Association. The following are excerpts from the comments 'and recom mendations he made to Eleanor Weinglass after the visit. Dear Eleanor, Allow me first to thank you for your gracious hospitality and the chauffer- ing. It was a genuine pleasure to be with you and to have long ranging discus sions on issues of mutual in terest. My sense of the school is as follows: 1. I was impressed with your school board. They ap pear to me as exciting, alert individuals, who are general ly interested in day school education. I was intrigued by their questions and I am con vinced that eventually this school will enjoy rapid growth, especially when the new facility, the communal building, will become a reali ty. 2. The building and facilities are adequate. There’s a certain warmth and intimacy that transcends a regular school. Your walls “talk”. I did not see any mischievous deeds or marking on the walls. It is a humane school. There is a wonderful rapport between students and teachers; and you and your teachers. 1 saw how youngsters of the fifth grade were helping youngsters of the third grade-how they rejoiced in each other’s ac- complishments - how they were mindful of each other’s feelings. 3. I liked your prayer ses sion. There, too, I saw youngsters from the Kindergarten through the grades, eagerly participating in services. Generally the ability of children to read at sight was impressive. I sug gest more time be dedicated to the prayer service, at least on Monday and Thursday. 4. I enjoyed being with Ziva London. I think that she is an energetic and en thusiastic teacher, who seems to prepare carefully for her task and plan for the various levels within the group. I do feel, though, that youngsters ought to see the original biblical text. Since you do have the Chumash M’Forash, I advise that when a bible story is worked on from the text you present ly use, the youngster be allowed to use it in the original and select what key phrases they ought to remember, and why. 5. I enjoyed being with the Kindergarten teacher. I feel that the kindergarten youngsters are receiving a wonderful reading readiness program in the general studies area. 1 would like, though, to see more work done in the Hebrew area. 6.1 enjoyed very much sit ting in the class of Arnel and Mitch Greenberg. They are a lovely couple who have a wonderful rapport with the children, and 1 saw some very sound, good teaching going on. Arnel strikes me as being a very creative young lady, and the two of them are definite assets to the school. Your pride in the ac complishment of the school is justified. Your Judaic pro gram and general program were well integrated. Your sincerity and dedication to the school is beyond the call of duty. Very few people realize that it is more dif ficult to run a small school like yours, with mixed grade levels, where the onus of the school is to meet and tap each youngster’s potential, vis-a-vis a structured school where youngsters move from grade to grade. I think your children are fortunate for having the opportunity to grow in such an atmosphere. You have all reasons to be very proud. Sincerely, Rabbi Isaac Furman
