Co-ordinating All Communal Efforts

Opinions Submitted in Symposium; Dr. A. M. Hershman Urges
Formation of a Kehillah; Other Leaders Call Upon
Detroit Jews to Strengthen the Federation

How can Jewry'. communal responsibilities beet

be co-ordinated to care for all current •. well as
emergency situations?

The past year has witnessed a decline in Jewish
contributions to important causes. At the same

time, demands for relief have increased, and

emergency situations have arisen to tax Jewish
obligations to extremes.

Similar action is advocated by Rabbi Joshua S.

Sperka of Congregation B'nai David.

Milton M. Alexander urges that the Federation
be strengthened.

Dr. Leo M. Franklin, rabbi of Temple Beth El,
suggests that the enforcement of the Biblical tax,

the Tithe, would be an ideal solution to the prob.

An extraordinary feature of

tween Norman Thomas and Prof.

Dr. Gideonse, conservative pro-
fessor of economics of the Uni-

Norman Thomas, leader of the
Socialist Party of America will
say, No.
Still another stirring feature of
the series will be the symposium
of two professors of the Univer-
sity in Exile.
The University in Exile was
founded two years ago by Dr. Al-
vin Johnson, of the New School
of Social Research of New York,
as a refuge for the world famous
professors of German Universities

Debate by Exiled Prof
The Temple Forum has invited

former secretary of the German
Reparations Commission, a sub-
ject of equal interest to Anntrica

Nationalism — Is it Compatable
