The
Community of the JUAL Group
An
invisible link of genuine cooperation and a sense of belonging
brings together all who attend the JUAL School; the atmosphere
which these young people see as surrounding their future lives
is already present. These youths are already friends, not
chance comrades; they share the same fate, they wish to tread
their road together, and together to reach their goal. We must
also recall the teachers and educators, who are the friends of
their pupils. Here we have the happy synthesis that is the
necessary condition for successful work with young people, a
relationship of trust between teachers and students that could
scarcely be finer or more free. The young people feel at home,
but they study no less well. The head of the Vienna Youth
aliyah, Aron Menczer, has at his disposal for this
educational task a staff of assistants which is made up mainly
of high school teachers and youth educators, who join in
discussing the direction and methods for what has now become
the largest Jewish school in Vienna.
In
order to maintain this aim, on which the school has embarked
as completely as possible, the idea came up of consulting with
the parents, and this is now to become a permanent feature.
New suggestions are expected from this side, too, and they are
to be given far-reaching consideration where the welfare of
our youth is considered. Every class at the school forms a
community that tries to help every individual, and, if
possible, to lighten even his private burdens. The social
welfare with its admittedly very modest means also tries to
help in the most urgent cases.
