CONVENTION HALL

In response to the call for the
observance of Brotherhood Week,
Feb. 18 to 25, issued by the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews and the President of
the United States, Temple Beth
El, Woodward and Gladstone,
will observe Brotherhood Sab-
bath at its regular Sabbath Eve
Services next Friday night, Feb.
23, at 8 o'clock. Members of
Congregation Beth El will invite
non-Jewish friends to come to the
service. The public will be wel-
come.
Rabbi Leon Fram has chosen
as the theme of his Brotherhood
sermon a statement of the prin-
ciples which the religious bodies
of the world should unite in ad-
vocating as the basis of perma-
nent world peace. His topic will
be "The Fourteen Points of the
Coming Peace."
George Galvani, director of the
Temple Choir and its cantonal
soloist, has prepared a special
program of music for this occa-
sion, to consist of the oldest
traditional Sabbath melodies and
popular hymns for congregational
singing on the theme of brother-
hood. The services will be fol-
lowed by a reception in the so-
cial hall given by the Sisterhood
of Temple Beth El, whose presi-
dent is Mrs. Lawrence Freed-
man.
Rabbi Fram has issued his per-
sonal invitation to the members
of the Vortex Club, a business
men's luncheon club, of which he
is an honorary member, to be his
guests at the service and recep-
tion. All who plan to attend the
service are asked to be in the
Temple promptly at 8 o'clock
when the worship begins.

New Inter-Faith Group
Observes Brother-
hood Week

Brotherhood Week, Feb. 18 to
25, the week of Washington's
birthday, is the first project of
the newly formed Detroit Coun-
cil of Protestants, Catholics and
Jews. The council was formed
by a committee, under the chi'.
manship of Dr. Henry Hitt
Crane of Central Methodist
Church, including representatives
from all three faiths. The Jewish
delegation, named by the Jew-
ish Community Council, consists
of Simon Shetzer, Dr. Leo M.
Franklin and Charles M. Rubiner,
chairman. Rev, 0. G. Starrett
has been designated as executive
secretary of the new inter-faith
council.
The Jewish Community Coun-
cil is cooperating in this cele-
bration of Brotherhood Week and
key people in its affiliated organi-
zations have been sent invitations
to participate in this seventh an-
nual observance, with the slogan
"Make America safe for differ-
ences because differences make
America safe." The Council urges
all Jewish organizations to apply
the spirit of Brotherhood Week
appropriately in a regular or
special meeting on or near the
date of Washington's birthday. It
has suggested that a Christian
speaker be invited to talk on the
1940 theme "The Present Crisis
in Human Relations," or, better
still, in the case of the larger
Jewish organizations, that a team
of three speakers of the different
faiths appear on the program.
The Council will assist any or-
ganization in planning such a
meeting or arrangements may be
made through Rev. 0. C. Starrett,
23 East Adams Ave., Cad. 6477.
As part of the general pro-
gram, on Sunday evening, Feb.
18, a Brotherhood Service will be
held in the Central Methodist
Church at which Dr. Henry Hitt
Crane of Central Methodist
Church; Reverend George W.
Baber of Ebenezer A. M. E.
Church, and Rabbi Morris Adler
of Shaa•ey Zedek Congregation,
each will speak on the subject
of inter-faith cooperation. The
Jewish community is invited to
attend. During the week follow-
ing Feb. 22, in further observance
of the event, Stations WWJ,
WXYZ, WJBK and CKLW will
carry short programs calling at-
tention to Brotherhood Week. On
Feb. 25, at a brotherhood dinner
to be attended by members of
the three religious groups, the
present provisional committee of
the local branch of the National
Conference of Christians and Jews
will be enlarged and a permanent
executive committee will be esta-
I ished.
