Committee's Appeal.
A report issued this week by the
bazaar committee reads in part:
"It must be understood that this
Bazaar has for its purpose the estab-
lishing of the nucleus of a fund which

will lay the way for a Community
Building from which Jewish activities,
social, charitable, and educational,
will radiate.
"And while that will he the prime
object of the building, it is planned to
have it managed so that no sect or
creed will he barred from using it
along social, educational or charitable
lines.
"While the movement is being set
on foot by Pisgah Lodge, No. 34, I. 0.

building a strictly B'nai B'rith struc-
ture, but to have it under the manage-

banner those Hebrew Schools not yet

Mr. Isaacs emphasized that the uni-
fication of all the local schools and
the centralization of Hebrew study
will be made possible by an increased
membership. Ile pointed out that the
support of the Talmud Torahs will be-
come an easy matter if a sufficient
number of Jews become members of
the institution and make voluntary
yearly subscriptions for its upkeep.
The campaign for members is to
start on May 1, at a rally of workers

Rabbi A. M. Hershman declared
himself eager and enthusiastic to join
with the schools in their work for ex-
pansion and urged that as many as
possible of Detroit's Jews be enlisted
under the banner of the Talmud
Torah system.

"A great task" is the way the re-
cent drive has been described. In the
face of financial depression, the 1922

group in America.

SUPPORT OF LODGE

Senator Spreads Massachusetts

Resolution on Minutes of
Congressional Record

A Zionist delegation from Massa-
chusetts, accompanied by Speaker
Gillett of the House, called on Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee in
Washington on Thursday, March 30,
and presented the resolution passed
unanimously by both Houses of the
Massachusetts Legislature on Wed-
nesday urging "the Government of the
United States of Amercia formally to
recognize and approve the yearning
desire of the Jewish people for a na-
tional home in Palestine, the land of
their forefathers."
Senator Lodge assured the delega-
tion he would lend his influence to
have the American Government facili-
tate in every manner possible the
definition of the status of Palestine as
the Jewish National Home, and de-
clared his sympathy with the Zionist
movement, reminding the delegation
of the letter he had sent to the Zionist
organization of America in 1919, in
which he had said, "I should be glad
to see action by the United States in
line with the Balfour declaration. I
feel that the effort of the Jewish
people to establish a national home in
Palestine is not only natural, but in
all ways to he desired,"
The delegation also called on Vice
('resident Coolidge, former Governor
of Massachusetts, to whom it explain-
ed its mission in Washington. The
Vice President expressed his sympa-
thy and beat wishes for the success
of their efforts.
After his reception of the delega-
tion Senator Lodge had the resolution,
as adopted by the Massachusetts Leg-
islature, spread on the minutes of the
Senate and ordered printed in The
Congressional Record.

SAMUEL MOVED BY
JEWISH CONFIDENCE

Tells Palestine Jewish Council He Is

Confident of Ultimate Success.

LONDON.—(J. T. A.)—Suppler-
mentary details have been received
here describing the meeting between
Sir Herbert Samuel and the Presidium
of the Jewish National Council, when
the latter conveyed the resolution of
confidence in the High Commissioner
which the Elected Assembly adopted,
Sir Herbert Samuel, who has just
recovered from his illness, said to his
visitors:
"You cannot appreciate sufficiently
the significance to me of the message
of the Asephat Hanibnarim declaring
its faith in me. Palestine has always
been and will be my heart's desire and
to its regeneration I offer my energy
and labor. With the aid of the Jewish
people I feel confident of ultimate suc-
cess."
The announcement that Sir Herbert
was going to London has caused no
surprise here, his friends having been
informed months ago that a rest in
i
England was considered essential to
his health.
There are no restrictions on emi-
gration from England to Palestine,

Mr. Welt also announced that, in
response to the appeal made at the
last meeting by Marcus Aaron of
Pittsburgh, the Men's Club made a
contribution to the Hebrew Union
College, letters of acknowledgement
of which were read by Sidney Fech-
heimer from Professor Julian Mor-
genstern, acting president of the col-
lege, and Charles Shohl, president of
the Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations.
Isaac Goldberg, president of Tem-
ple Beth El, then made an appeal for
the new temple, emphasizing again
the campaign for $400,000 that is
to open on April 17. Mr. Goldberg
told of the many advantages to be
derived from the new edifice and de-
clared that the primary reason for
the construction of a new building
is the need felt for it in connection
with the Sabbath School. Ile said
that 1,000 children were at present
enrolled in the classes of the temple
and that many parents refused to
send their children to the present
school because of its unsanitary con-
dition. The new building, he said,
will be up-to-date and sanitary.
Louis Marshall to Speak.
Adolph Finsterwald, who is in
charge of the volunteers for the
drive, then appealed for workers and
a number signed up to assist in the
week's drive.
Jacob Nathan announced that
Louis Marshall will be the speaker
at the Sunday morning services at
Temple Beth El. He announced that
close to 200 out-of-town people had
made reservations to attend the Jew-
ish Relief conference and banquet
Sunday at Hotel Statler and urged
those who had not made reservations
for the banquet to do so at once. Ile
declared that the conference prom-
ises to be the largest gathering ever
held in America.
The lecture by Rabbi Silver was
immediately preceded by a few re-
marks by Charles F. F. Campbell,

Bernard Isaacs, superintendent of

this campaign is being arranged to

LECTURE MARKED CLUB'S
FINAL MEETING OF YEAR

Members of the Men's Temple
Club, at their final lecture of the
year, held Monday evening at the
Phoenix clubhouse, literally went
wild with enthusiasm over the ad-
dress delivered by Rabbi AbbeIlel
Silver of Cleveland. The assembly,
the largest gathered at any meeting
of the club, cheered Rabbi Silver for
several minutes at the conclusion of
his address.
Rabbi Silver spoke on the topic
"Jew and Christian—Will They Ever
Meet?" His talk was preceded by a
dinner and the program was opened
with two vocal solos by George
Becker of the Temple choir and mass
singing of "America."
Melville S. Welt, eresident of the
Men's Club, in opening the meeting,
announced that future plans for the
club will be made at the final gather-
ing of the year, to take place on
Monday evening, May 1, when offi-
cers will be elected for the coming
year. Mr. Welt announced that the
membership was almost doubled dur-
ing the past year and declared that
the term was, in general, a most suc-
cessful one.

(From Picart.)

Passover, the Jewish festival of
liberation, which has inspired the Jew
to trust in the eventual reign of
righteousness during so many cen-
turies, begins this year on Wednes-
day evening, April 12.
The opening Seder night of the Pe-
each will find every Jewish household
reciting the events of the Exodus
from the special ritual service of the
Haggadah, compiled for Passover.
The notion is stressed in the ritual
of the Seder that all Jews are to re-

gard themselves as having come forth
from the house of Egyptian bondage.
Many Jewish congregations and or-
ganizations are planning to celebrate
Seder in their own institutions. While
primarily a feast for the home, there
is no traditional objection to an insti-
tution, symbolizing, as it does, a
larger family, gathering about a fes-
tive board and reviving common
memories.
Originally Passover was an agricul-
