Abstract
At a time when congregational schools were beginning to decline, A Symposium on the Jewish Community School, in the 1965 winter issue of Jewish Education magazine, indicated that these schools could be saved if they would open their admissions policy and change their curricular approach.1 However, it was realized that within a few years no matter what these schools would do, their efforts would be ineffective in combating the decline in birthrate. Just ten years later the minutes of a joint American Association of Jewish Education and American Jewish Committee Conference indicated that congregational schools, with but few exceptions, were beyond recovery. Their only hope was either to merge or become absorbed by the community.2
