CHICAGO PAPER
PRAISES FRAM 1
A CENTER OF JEWISH ACTIVITIES
(Reprinted from The Sentinel.)
We wish to commend heartily
Itahlii Leon Film, Associate Rabbi
of Temple Beth El of Detroit but
for inerly of Temple Judea of this
city, upon the very excellent man-
ner in which he handled Jewish
Rook Week in this city. In addi-
tion to preaching a sermon oat this
subject he circulated through the
press a scholarly article on "flow
to Choose a Model Jewish Library."
The introductory statement of this
article says:
"The presence of Jewish books
in the home is indispensable for the
religious education of Jewish boys
and girls. By a Jewish library is
not meant books in Ilebrew or Yid-
dish but books on Jewish subjects
written in English. The presence
of such a library in any home re-
flects culture and good taste." Out
of the available material Rabbi
hhani selected a list of books in
English which would constitute a
model .lewish library. These books
tie divides into classics, recent pub-
lications, Jewish art books (in
which he includes "Jewish Motifs"
by Todros Geller of this city),
books for children and books espec-
ially appropriate as gifts for con-
tinuants. Rabbi Frain also uti-
lized Jewish Book Week for the
purpose of urging Jewish homes to
become members of the Jewish
Publication Society of Philadelphia.
Finally he offers the facilities of
his office at Temple Beth El to
order Jewsli books for all those who
care to obtain them. We have no
doubt that Rabbi Pram's labors in
behalf of the Jewish book will in-
trisluce Jewish culture into many
(shines in Detroit.
JEWISH BOYS' BAND
TO PLAY FOR RADIO
The band of the Denver Na-
tional Home for Jewish Chil-
dren, composed of 35 boys of
the home, aged from It to 15
years, will render a concert
over the radio station of the
General Electric Company lo-
cated at Denver, Colo., known
as Station KOA, on Tuesday,
June 21, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.
m., Denver or Mountain time.
Denver time is two hours earlier
than Detroit time.
It is profound ignorance that
spires the dogmatic tone.

B'NAI B'RITH COMMUNITY CENTER
A new beacon light shone forth
in Detroit on May 2, 1926; a new •
landmark was established on the
local horizon; an age old spirit
finally fought its way through and
secured its embodiment in the
beautifully modelled and artis-
tically designed l'isgah Lodge
Community Center.
As if overnight, the venerable
spirit of B'nai B'rith stepped out
of the past and donned the mantlel
of modernity. Just as the tradi-
tional Menorah with its seven
sweeping branches, so did Pisgah':
activities branch out and enlarge,
so that the community center is
now a veritable behive of human
activity.
Just as the spirit creates the
body, so does the boy tend to OM-
serve and propagate this spirit
through the inspiration of the
physical environment. It may ver-
ily be said that l'isgah Lodge Com-
munity Center is singularly unique
in its activities. It has become a
center of music, art, charitable en-'
terprise and Jewish culture.
Within its walls, the B'nai B'rith
Symphony Orchestra, under the
able leadership of Professor Mark
Gunzburg, is in sem-weekly prac-
twe; within its walls are frequent
exhibits of local artists, classes in
citizenship, entertainments, gym-
nusium activities and the regular
meetings of Pisgah Lodge.
It is befitting to say that were
it net svor the nohle and self-sacri-
firing idealism of a few pioneers,
this monumental achievement, this
structure of stone and steel, would
still have been exposed to the ele-
ments in a semi-finished condition.
It is to men like Shatzen, Kramer
and Ettinger that credit must be
given, for they took the work in
hand at a crucial moment and
brought it to a victorious consum-
mation through sheer zeal of pur-
pose and the holy joy of accom-
plishment.
Pisgah Lodge Community Cen-
ter. with its manifold facilities
and its ideal location, through the
untiring efforts of its officers, is
creating a new tradition for serv-
ice and bids a welcome hand to
all who desire to take advantage
of its opportunities.
Bright as the morning star that
flashes across the horizon, Pisgah
Lodge Center beckons to Detroit
Jewry to fill its halls and to help
fan the spark of idealism con-
tained within its walls into one
mighty flame.
The center will be the hub of
the activities of the approaching
convention of District Grand
Lodge, No. 6, I. 0. B. B., which
will be held here July 3, 4, 5 and 6.

His last performance, the story
goes on to relate, was an actual
flight through the air in a chariot
drawn by demons. As he was ca-

with such good effect that he
crashed to the ground a mangled

the good Christian fathers them-

refuses, perhaps, to take it too ser-
iously, a good, pious Christian
should believe it and give that Jew
in Rome credit for his contribution
to aviation.
More than a thousand years pass

hear nothing of Jews, or, for that
matter, Gentiles, doing something
for the art of flying. There is only
one notable exception, sometime
