A MESSAGE
By I. M. CHERNIAK, M. D.
By S. SMULLIN
The Windsor Hebrew School is
a link in a long chain of the He-
brew schools of the United States
and Canada.
The modern school is of recent
origin .
l'reviously the Jewish
schools of America were rather of
a medieval character and besides
mechanical reading and students
hardly learned anything in those
archaic houses of learning. Only
tbout 20 years ago a movement
for the improvement of the Ile-
brew education in America began
by the leaders of the Jewry of the
New World.
The achievements attained by
the movement are immeasurable.
It raised the standard of the He-
brew School and a uniform pro-
gram was worked out. According
to this program the Hebrew mod-
ern school is divided into three
types: primary, intermediate and
high schools. In all of these the
instruction is conducted in the
natural method, The best schools
of all the large cities are united
under one administration and su-
pervised by a specialist.
The United Hebrew Schools of
Detroit consist of seven branches
of primary schools, including the
Windsor branch, and one high
school, all supervised by Mr. Ber-
nard Isaacs. Thanks to the able
management of the latter these
schools have reached a high degree
of progress, ranking among the
best schools of the country.
The Windsor Hebrew School is
considered one of the most ad-
vanced branches of the Union of
the Ilebrew Schools of Detroit and
Windsor. For the short time of
its merger with the United Hebrew
Schools it has accomplished a
great deal and now has the privi-
lege to see its first graduating
class building a nucleus for a Ile-
brew high School in Windsor.
The Hebrew School Agudath
B'nai Zion of Windsor is the cen-
ter of all the Jewish activities of
the city. The old people meet
there for their daily prayers and
for the discussion of the questions
concerning the rabbi, shochet and
other questions of Kashruth.
The younger generation has its
club meetings, where Zionist work
is planned.
Looking at these young Wm-
hers of different Zionist clubs one
can clearly notice the great uplift-
ing influence of the Hebrew School
on its students. The latter are
distinguished from among their
friends who have not attended the
Hebrew School not only by their
knowledge of the Hebrew lan-
guage and the Bible, but their bet-
ter understanding of the problems
of Jewish life. But there is also
a differknce between the students
of the earlier years and the stu-
dents of the later years since the
, Windsor Hebrew School joined the
I Hebrew Schools of Detroit.
I
Though the Windsor Hebrew
School was organized in 1919, it
(lid not make much progress for
I the first years of its existence for
I the lack of proper managements.
I The Windsor Jewish community is
very democratic. It has yearly
I elections of officers and the ad-
: ministration of the school is sure
I to be changed with every election.
I With the change of the administra-
I tion also the teachers were
I changed. Each new teacher intro-
duced his own method of studies.
It Naturally, under such a system the
school could not advance much.
This evil was healed under the
administration of Mr. Joshua
Mossman, who in 1926 joined the
Union of the Hebrew Schools of
Detroit and invited Mr. Isaacs to
supervise their branch. Since then
their school has progressed rapid-
ly.
same system and order
with which the United Hebrew
Schools of Detroit are distin-
guished were introduced in the
Windsor branch and was applied
there with still greater success be-
cause while in Detroit each class
learns only one and one-half hours
per day, in Windsor they arranged
things so as to have each class
learn two hours per day.
Also the fact of Windsor being
a smaller place makes it easier for
the children to have better attend-
ance. The results were soon seen.
In a short time the number of chil-
dren was doubled and the standard
of the classes was uncomparatively
raised. In two years after the re-
form was made Windsor had the
privilege to see its first class
graduating from the primary He-
brew School and making a nucleus
for the first Hebrew high School
in Windsor. At present the school
has eight regular classes, one kin-
ergarten class and one high school
class in which, besides the other
subjects, also Talmud is "being
taught. The subjects taught in
school are: Hebrew language,
writing and talking, prayers, read-
ing and explaining Chumash in
original, l'rophets., Jewish history,
grammar and Talmud, and special
classes for Mastic.
The greatest contribution that
the Jewish nation has made to the
world's civilization is the Bible.
The ideals of justice and love, first
expressed by the prophets, are now
accepted by all the nations of the
world. The Bible in its hundreds
of translations is accessible to all
peoples. Each nation can read it,
in their own tongue. But no mat-
ter how perfect the translation is,
it does not compare with the orig-
inal. The language is not only a
vehicle for the ideals of the Bible,
but is part and parcel of those
ideas.
To afford the Jewish child an
opportunity to learn the Hebrew
language to such a degree as to
enable him to read and appreciate
the Bible in the original Ilebrew
is the ideal of the Hebrew Schools,
and it has become the program of
the Windsor School since it joined
the schools of Detroit.
With the opening of a new
semester, parents are urged to en-
roll their boys end girls immedi-
ately, in order to speed the suc-
cessful efforts of the school.
The officers of the school are:
Dr. L. Cherniak, president; Dr.
Maurice Levine, vice-president; J.
A. Glanz, treasurer; D. A. Croll,
recording secretary; I. Glicklin,
financial secretary.
Mr. Croll is chairman of the
board of education, and other
members of the board are S. K.
Baum, M. L. Gershon, W. Cher-
niak, II. Zeillin and M. Schott.
The finance committee consists
of Dr. M. Levine, chairman; Mr.
Clara, treasurer; II. Bercuson, B.
L. Caplan, B. Cohen and S. Moss-
man.
Mr. Glanz is chairman of the
building committee and is assisted
by J. Orechkin and Mr. Mossman.
The teachers' staff follows: Mr.
Isaacs, superintendent; Solomon
Smullin, Abraham Cohen, Bessie
Lerman, Emanuel Cohen, Mrs. Z.
Plafkin and Miss Abramson.
The
President of Agudath B'nai Zion
Hebrew School of Windsor.
The institution that Windsor
Jewry takes great pride in is its
Talmud Torah. It is now recog-
nized as possessing the highest
standard of Hebrew education in
Canada. The percentage of the
number of Jewish children in at-
tendance is by far the greatest.
This year we took great pride and
pleasure in having its first gradua-
tion class of the children who have
fulfilled the curriculum as laid
down by Bernard Isaacs, superin-
tendent. The graduates this year
were Norton Barnett, Nellie Blake,
Nathan Cohen, Aaron Liederman,
Meyer Greenberg, Jack Mossman
and Louis Weisberg.
The school has been kept up by
private funds of the Windsor
Jews. and although the financial
question has always been a very
serious andperplexing one,
still, due to the untiring efforts of
the members of its board, the
good work has been uninterrupted-
ly carried on.
As president of the Talmud
Torah, I want to thank the mem-
bers of the board and the Windsor
Jewry at large for the great and
valuable assistance and encourage•
went they have given me in the
last year in making our school a

than, the men.
There are three Hadassah chap-

WINDDSOR B'NAI B'RITH ACTIVE IN
IMMIGRATION AND CHARITY WORK
Jerry Glanz, President, Is Moving Spirit of the Organiza-
tion; Assists Stranded Immigrants; Helps
in Work of . Talmud Torah.
The Windsor B'nai B'rith Lodge
No. 1011, affiliated with District
No. 1, is unique in its activities.
Faced by numerous serious situ-
ations in which it is placed as a re-
sult of the city's position on the
borderline of Canada and the
United States, the lodge is corn-
pelted to devote a great deal of
its time to immigration and relief
work. In these efforts it is for-
tunate in having for president
Jerry Glanz. Coming to Windsor
1514, Mr. Glanz was instrumen-
tal in organizing the Talmud Torah
and in creating sentiment for
many other activities.
Now, as head of the B'nai B'rith,
it is Mr. Glanz who is called upon
to assist stranded immigrants, or
to intercede in behalf of some one
about to be deported. He devotes
much of his time in organizing his
lodge for relief and charity work,
and mainly through his efforts the
90 members of the lodge are a
power to charity and immigration
work.
Mr. Glanz is assisted in his work
by the following officers: Robert
G. Cohen, vice-president; Dr. Mor-
ris Levin, secretary, and I. Slit-
zer, treasurer.
The immigration work is eon-
ducted with the aid of the Jewish
Immigrant Aid Society, of which
Mr. Glanz is a member of the na-
tional Canadian executive corn-
mittee.
The B'nai B'rith also co-oper-
ates in the work of the Talmud
Torah, and Mr. Glanz is treasurer
of the latter. At the recent gradu-
ation exercises the B'nai B'rith
presented the star pupil with a
gold medal.
