Talk on the Importance of the Schools

Description:

Translated Summary: Text of a talk. Begins with humorous comments about the "donor-dinner". Talk focuses on the importance of the schools for the continuity of the culture and the people. Resistance to enemies from without and culturelessness and assimilation from within. Ends quoting a poem by Yehoash. Addressed to mothers and grandmothers in Detroit, so probably a Women's Club precursor of the Emmas. Interesting language choices and essence of ideology
