DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal Chronicle

Synagogues Further
Sabbath Observance

Plans for the dedication of the
year 5702 to an intensive educa-
tional drive for a wider observ-
ance of the Sabbath in house-
holds and on the thickly popu-
lated Jewish streets of Detroit,
were outlined at a meeting of the
Women's Branch, Michigan Syna-
gogue Conference, held Tuesday
at the home of Mrs. Joshua S.
Sperka, president. Rabbi M. J.
Wohlgelernter, head of the reli-
gious-educational committee of the
conference, and Mrs. Abraham
Caplan, chairman of Sabbath ob-
servance, addressed the meeting.
Mrs. Abraham Danzig, vice-presi-
dent, and Mrs. David J. Cohen,
secretary of the Women's Branch,
also participated.
A unique slogan for the Sab-
bath observance campaign, which
has received its impetus through
the closing of 18 Jewish bakeries
on Saturdays since July 12, will
be the Hebrew initials of the next
calendar year, "Tay, Shin, Beth"
spelling "Shabat."
The initial city-wide gathering
of women's organizations, at
which the details of the project
will be unfolded, is planned for
Monday, Sept. 29, with a na-
tionally prominent women's lead-
er as guest speaker.
