ever suggestions for changes there-
in which in the light of a further
exchange of ideas may be deemed
better suited to give effect to the
purposes which the council is de-
signed to serve.

"Individuals and organizations
have from time to time advocated
a community council, but not un-
til now has it seemed feasible to
establish such a body. Not until
now, has there been that measure
of unity in the community which
would assure at least a moderate
degree of success for such an un-
dertaking. For, it should be borne
le mind that a council in and of
itself cannot unify a commenity
which does not a priori feel a sense
of unity and a need for collective
action on matters of common con-
cern. The past several years have
seen a gradual coalescence of the
various heretofore estranged and
frankly antagonistic force* in the
community. They have resulted,
too, in an accumulated experience
of co-operative effort and joint en ,
terprise. We have learned not
merely to work together, but what
is even more important, to tolerate
and accept points of view with
which we ourselves do not entire-
ly agreee, not the condescending
tolerance accorded by superiors to
their inferiors but that respectful
regard which obtains among equals.
Joint enterprises have produced
mutual respect for the honest
though differing intentions of each
other, and halm tadght us to ap-
praise more intelligently the capa-
city and resources for leadership
latent in groups heretofore denied
■ share in the administration of
community affairs.
"With this immediate experience
of cooperative effort and with this
sentiment of and for Jewish unity
more definitely crystalized in re-
cent years than perhaps ever be-
fore, the formation of a community
council at this particular juncture
becomes almost inevitable.
"The Community Council is not
only a program of Jewish survival
but it is at the same time a con-
duit through which a positive, co-
ordinated program of Jewish life
can be carried on. With this prem-
ise basic to any intelligent ap-
proach, the proposed constitution
clearly defines the type of organi-
zations which are eligible for mem-
bership in the council, requiring
that groups otherwise qualified
must have "a constructive Interest
in the preservation of some aspect
of Jewish life" and that they must
dedicate themselves faithfully to
pursue among other aims and pur-
poses that of helping "to maintain
the dignity and integrity of the
Jewish people."
"We consider these provisions to
be of the essence of the whole pro-
gram—the preservation of the
Jewish people qua Jews and of
Jewish values. Jewish groups who
approach the problems of Jewish
life in this manner will welcome
the establishment of the council
and will want to be represented
Sunday, April 25, at the Jewish
Center when formal approval of
the proposed constitution will give
a mandate to the provisional or-
ganization committee to proceed
forthwith to take all appropriate
steps to call into being the Jewish
Community Council of Detroit"

On the eve of the conference of
organizations regarding the Jew.
ish Community Council, Simon
Shetzer, chairman of the provi-
sional committee, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The conference which will as-
semble at the Jewish Center on
Sunday, April 25, will undoubtedly
be of historic significance in the
life of Detroit Jewry and of more
than passing interest to other Jew-
ish communities In the United
States. At that meeting, represent-
atives of several hundred Jewish
organizations will convene to ap-
prove the creation of and to adopt
a constitution for the Jewish Com-
munity Council of Detroit.
"The Jewish Community Council
Is not intended to be just another
organization of -organizations. It
is hoped that, since it will repre-
sent every organized group of Jews
committed to a constructive Jew-
ish program and functioning on a
democratic basis, It will come ul-
timately, as it accumulates ex-
perience in the field of responsible
leadership, to be the recognized
agency and spokesman of the
entire Jewish community 'of De-
troit.
"The constitution which will be
offered for discussion and ad lion
at the April 25 meeting is by no
means the final word on the cub-
jest. The provisional organization
committee which will submit the
proposed constitution has labored
very conscientiously and intensively
for the past several months. It
believes that the proposed draft,
which is the result of the collective
efforts of a committee upon which
every shade of Jewish opinion was
represented, is ■ fairly satisfac-
tory document, establishing a plat-
form upon which every thinking
Jew, conscious of his historic iden-
tity and prepared to assume his
share of responsibility in the or-
ganized life of his people, can find
common ground with his fellow
Jews. Notwithstanding the fact
that the proposed constitution is
submitted with the approval of the
Provisional committee, the organ!.

Urge Kurt Peiser Remain in Detroit

and that the Jewish Community
Council Is being organized, he also
emphasized that the Jewish groups
were asked to participate in drives.
"This is more important than we
ourselves realize because in previ-
ous years we were looked upon as
the takers and not as the givers
and now we are the participants
in community work," Mr. Bern-
stein stated. He also pointed out
that Mr. Peiser was responsible
for the inclusion of boycott work
through the League for Human
Rights in the program of the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation.

Asks Support for Drive

Samuel Leiberman declared in a
brief address that the Jews of De-
troit have learned to know Mr.
Peiser as a man alio puts his en-
tire life in his work. He too em-
phasized the need for urging that
he stay here. He stressed that in
order to show appreciation for Mr.
Pelser's work, the community must
make a success of the forthcoming
drive.
Jacob Levine, president of the
Jewish Old Folks' Home, spoke in
behalf of the home and of Con-
gregation Beth Tephilah Emanuel.
Myron A. Keys, chairman of the
committee on organizations for the
Allied Jewish Campaign, stated
that Mr. Peiser has torn down the
wall between the various elements
in the community and has brought
into his work a great measure of
sympathy and understanding.
The interesting feature of the
meeting was the honor extended to
Mr. Peiser when two students of
the United Hebrew Schools greeted
him. Sarah Luber spoke in Hebrew
and Samuel Cohen gave the Eng-
lish greeting.
Bernard Isaacs praised Mr. Pei-
ser as • man who knows how to
be friendly and tactful. He said
that he sensed the sentiment
which was expressed that Mr. Pei-
see remain in Detroit and pointed
out that instead of a farewell "we
are demonstrating that he should
remain here and continue his work
with us."
Similarly lauditoty were the
sentiments voiced .by Shlome Ber-
covich, who praised Mr. Peiser for
making it possible for the Yiddish
schools to be included in the cam-
paign. Max Nusbaum of the Yid-
dish Folks' Verein, speakingin be-
half of the various organizations
represented at the gathering, pre-
sented Mr. Peiser with a testi-
monial which ennumerated his
many contributions to Detroit
Jewry. The text of the testimonial
was then read by Simon Shetzer.

Mr. Peiser's Response

In his response, Mr. Peiser
showed that he was deeply touched
by all the honors that were ex-
tended to him. He expressed thanks
to the speakers and various organ-
izations and said he was grateful
for the opportunity that brought
him to Detroit and made it possible
for him to do the things that he
has accomplished.
"Your tribute tonight is to
yourselves because it is through
you and with your cooperation
that I was able to do what I did",
Mr. Peiser said. He recounted the
experiences of the past five years
and declared that the wall between
the various Jewish elements
that existed previously was
a wall of misunderstanding. This
misunderstanding, he said, was
clarified by getting all the groups
together. He said he was happy in
the realization that it was possible
to bring Jews together on ■ uni-
fied basis.
"Unity in Israel is the finest
common denominator we have," Mr.
Peiser said. "It will be demonstra-
ted again next Sunday afternoon
when we meet to organize the Jew-
ish Community Council. We shall
then talk about an organization
that shall be repreeentatisse of
every element in Jewry. Never will
you have an opportunity to do any-
thing quite as constructive as you
will next Sunday. Out of the dis-
cussion that afternoon, I hope will
grow an organization which will
speak for you and that will offer
a solution for the many problems
which faces us in Jewish life."
Mr. Peiser stated that when he
leaves Detroit he wants to be able
to point to a successful Allied Jew-
ish Campaign and he urged all his
assembled friends to dedicate them-
selves during the coming four
weeks to the work of the campaign.
Mr. Bernstein read a number of
telegrams from organizations and
individuals who greeted Mr. Pel-
eer and congratulated him on his
work. Among those who sent tele-
grams were Samuel D. Weinberg,
city editor of the Detroit section
of the Jewish Forward, and Max-
well Black, who was chairman of
the constitution committee for the
Jewish Community Council.
