"In My Footsteps: Some Dilemmas of American Jewish Parents"
will be the subject of the final session of the 1964-65 Family Life
Education series of the Jewish Center.
This concluding session will take
place on Monday, April 26, 1965,

Saul Wachs about American Jewish Family Life in the mid-sixties
will be featured.
According to Mr. Stanley Skilken,
chairman of the Family Life Education Series, this distinctive approach of highlighting a husband
and wife will provide a unique opportunity of examining many facets
of family living today, which will
focus on other areas in the following: who is your Jewish child; how
do parents bring up an American
child and a Jew; what does it mean
to be an American Jew," parents
want their children to be Jewish,
but not too Jewish.
Mr. Saul Philip Wachs is a native
of Philadelphia. He received his
Jewish education at Gratz College
and the Teacher's Institute of the
Jewish Theological Seminary of
America.
He did graduate work at Columbia University, Bank Street College

Soviet Union Again Imposes
Bans On Baking Of Matzoh
NEW YORK (JTA)-Passover was celebrated throughout the free
world this week even in the Soviet Union where severe restrictions were
again placed on baking matzoh.
Thousands of American Jewish 'men and women on military duty
celebrated the holiday in Army, Navy, Air Force and other installations
around the world through arrangements made by the Jewish Welfare
Board.
Facilities were provided for
Jewish personnel on duty in 600
military installations aboard, as
well as for their families, aboard
ships and troop transports, at
missile bases and tracking stations
and for patients in Veterans Administration hospitals in this country.
Also included in JWB's worldwide
Passover arrangements were a
number of American Jewish
civilians serving with the Peace
Corps in Nepal, Tanzania, Tunisia,
Pakistan, Liberia, and Ethiopia and
with State Department missions in
Thialand and India.
Passover services, sedarim on
base, in synagogues, Jewish Community Centers and other community facilities, home hospitality, and
at many installations, special Passover meals for the entire eight days
of the holidays were organized in
the United States and at some 70
overseas points by the 270 full and
part-time Jewish chaplains, regional JWB consultants, community
Armed   Services   Committee   and
Veterans Committees and Jewish
Community Centers.
In 10 European countries where
matzoh and other Passover supplies
were either unavailable or in short
supply, the Joint Distribution Committee furnished 665,000 pounds of
matzoh and other Passover needs.
Charles H. Jordan, JDC's director-general for Europe, told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency in Geneva that the shipments, largest in
13 years, would make possible full
observance of the Passover by
100,000 needy Jews.
But while relative freedom from
religious persecution was being enjoyed by Jews in most of the countries behind the Iron Curtain not
only in Poland but also in Hungry
Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria—the anti-Jewish discriminations were pointed up especially
during Passover for the Russian
Jewish population.
The American Jewish Conference
on Soviet Jewry, comprising 24 national Jewish organizations, dealt
with that subject in a special Pass-
DR. NOVICE G. FAWCETT AND RABBI
BENJAMIN KAHN AT HILLEL CELEBRATION
Dr. Novice G. Fawcett, president
of the Ohio State University, and
Rabbi Benjamin M. Kahn, national
director of B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations, will speak at the 40th anniversary celebration of Hillel
Foundation at Ohio State.
The banquet, which will also
honor Rabbi Harry Kaplan for 30
years of service as director of Hillel
Foundation at Ohio State, will be
held April 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the
Edwin J. Schanfarber Memorial
Building.
Hillel Foundation at Ohio State
is the second oldest chapter established by B'nai B'rith in the United
States.
Observance of its 40th anniversary and Rabbi Kaplan's 30th anniversary as director will launch
an effort to organize alumni support
to expand Hillel programs and services to a growing student body.
An international figure in education. Dr. Novice G. Fawcett became the eighth president of The
Ohio State University in 1956. He
had previously distinguished himself through a quarter century of
productive service in teaching and
education administration-.
President Fawcett was born in
Ga,mbier, Ohio, and was reared on
.his family's Knox County farm.
He earned his Bachelor of Science
degree "magna cum laude" from
Kenyon College in 1931.
Specializing in science and mathematics, he was elected to Phi
Beta Kappa in his junior year. He
was awarded the Master of Arts
degree by Ohio State in 1937, after
which he pursued additional studies
at the university in education administration.
Dr. Fawcett began his professional career in 1931 as a teacher
of mathematics and science in the
Gambier High School, and he later
served successively as superintendent of schools in Gambier, Defiance, and Bexley, Ohio; as first
assistant superintendent of the
Akron Public Schools; and as superintendent of the Columbus Public Schools.
In February, 1960, he was cited
as "an outstanding exemplification
of the meaning of American citizenship and -of human brotherhood" and presented with the Brotherhood Man-of-the-Year Award by
Temple Israel in Columbus.
Rabbi Benjamin M. Kahn, of
Washington, D.C., national director
of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations, is a native of Lowell, Mass.
A graduate of Harvard College
in 1934 with the degree of A.B.
magna cum laude", he prepared
for  the  Rabbinate  at  the Jewish
Theological Seminary of America,
simultaneously pursuing graduate
studies in philosophy at Columbia
University.
In 1918 he was ordained and received the degree of Master of
Hebrew Literature. In June, 1962,
he was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters
by Alfred University.
From 1940 to 1959 Rabbi Kahn
was director of the B'nai B'rith
Hillel Foundation at the Pennsylvania State University, except for
the year 1944-45, when he went on
leave to Montreal, Canada, to establish a new Foundation at McGill
University.
In September of 1959 he succee-
(conflnued  on  page  4)
over statement, issued by the chairman of the Conference steering
committee, Label A. Katz. He is
also national president of B'nai
B'rith.
The Conference statement was
supplemented by a lengthy special
report, entitled "The Soviet Assault
on Passover," detailing the history
of Soviet restrictions on matzoh
from 1957 to 1965.
Mr. Katz said: "As a result of
official Soviet policy, the vast majority of Soviet Jews will not have
matzoh again this year. This means
that they are again forcibly deprived of the chief means of observing Passover properly. American Jewry protests this discriminatory deprivation with all the force
at its command."
Noting that, "consistent, systematic, worldwide protests" had apparently caused the Soviet Government to shift its policy on Passover
observance, by making this year's
ban on matzoh "less than total,"
Mr. Katz voiced gratification over
this slight change in policy. But
he noted that the change affects
Jewish religious congregations in
only three "showcase cities" —
Moscow, Leningrad and Odessa.
Even there, he pointed out, many
difficulties have been put in the
way of those Jews wanting matzoh,
and the costs are "exorbitant."
