Appeals to Complete $35,000 With but three weeks remain- ing before the opening of the 9th national veidah (convention) of Hashomer Hatzair, world Zion- ist scout movement, in Detroit, local members of this world wide organization are devoting much time in preparatory work for the occasion. In addition to the nu- merous technical arrangements for this event at which delegates from all over the North Ameri- can continent will gather, Ken Detroit is preparing for a pag- eant to be presented at the open- ing assembly of the convention in Northern High School auditor- ium, Tuesday evening, April 15. The pageant, Mema'makim (from the Depths) in its panoramic sweep of the status of world Jewry, attempts to unify the cen- trality of the Jewish dilemma be it in Poland, Palestine, or Amer- ica. There will be delegates at the convention from Mexico and Pal- estine. It is interesting to note that the name for the pagent Mema'- makim (from the Depths) was taken from the title of a small brochure which was the first He- brew publication of the Lithuan- ian branch of Hashomer Hatzair since the outbreak of the war. Issued in the fall of 1940, the reception of the piece of litera- ture meant that fellow chalutzim in chaos-torn Eastern Europe were still standing strong, that the chalutz movement—so close on the brink of Jewish disaster— was yet working among Jewish youth. From each page of this refugee brochure there emanated the bitter, stubborn cry of Jew- ish youth in the face of an omi- nous future. From each page there rose the call to Jews to fight until the end for survival, for common strength, for return to their redeeming homeland in Palestine. At the meeting of the Detroit region of the Michigan Syna- gogue Conference held last Sun- day, jointly with the workers of the Yeshivath Beth Yehudah Building Fund, under the chair- manship of David I. Berris, com- plete reports for the drive showed total pledges of $21,548. Rabbi Isaac Stollman, president of the Yeshivah, addressed the meeting and expressed gratitude to the following 30 workers who dis- tinguished themselves in the cam- paign launched Feb. 9: Isaac August, Rose B o d z i n, David I. Berris, Mrs. A. Caplan, Isadore Cohen, Sam Cohen, Wolf Cohen, Louis Dann, David Gold- berg, Nathan Greenberg, Sam Grossman, Arthur and Charles Gellman, Isadore and Jack Isbee, Isadore Kaplan, Mrs. Israel Kap- lan, Miss Rose Klein, Sigmond Lax, Max Maniker, A. J. Rosen- shine, Isaac Rosenthal, Irving Schlussel, Isidore Sosnick, J. Steinback, Louis Solai, Louis Thav, Moses Weiswasser, Jacob Weiner and Rabbi M. J. Wohl- gelernter. To reach the goal of $35,000, required for the construction of the new home for Yeshivath Beth Yehudah at Dexter and Cortland, special appeals will be made in 38 congregations during Passover festival. Rabbi Moses Fischer, president of the Vaad Ho-Rab- bonim, and Rabbi M. J. Wohl- gelernter, secretary, e x p r es sed confidence that all synagogues will meet their quotas totaling $14,300.
