COUNCIL INSTITUTE ATTRACTS
CROSS-SECTION OF COMMUNITY

than 250 people, rep-
rescHMg . a cross-section of the
varo.us elements in Detroit's
Jo% ...h community life, attended
the nfth anniversary institute of
Doi oit's J e w i s h Community
Council which was held during
the afternoon and evening of
Sunday, April 12, at Temple
Beth El.
The institute opened - with an
address by Rabbi Morris Adler,
as ,eiate rabbi of Congregation
Shaarey Zedek, on the subject
"'Hie Community Council Idea".
Rabbi Adler's message stressed
the meaning of democracy in
J e wiSh community life and also
the responsibilities which are
e ngendered by democratic com-
m unity organization. Rabbi All-
kr was introduced by James I.
Ellmann, president of the Jew-
iso Community Council, who ex-
plained the purposes of till-
conclave, and the achievements
!loped for in this novel experi-
ment.
The institute then took the
form of two round table discus-
sions. The first, on "Community
Relations and Anti-Defamation,"
was presided over by James I.
Ellman in the absence of Rabbi
Leon Frani who was ill. Others
in the panel of discussants were
Aaron Droock, Isaac Franck,
Samuel Lieberman, Nathan Mil-
stein and Philip Slomovitz. The
need for continued vigilance
against Fascists and anti-Sem-
ites was stressed. It was empha-
sized that the forces tending to
undermine American democracy
have not relented since Pearl
Harbor. The need for public
education through the printed
word and other media was also
emphasized.
At the same time as the above,
the round table discussion on
"Internal Jewish Community Re-
lations" was being conducted
under the chairmanship of Jos-
eph Bernstein. Gerson B. Cher-
toff, Mrs. Max R. Frank, Ben-
jamin Wilk and Rabbi Max J.
Wohlgelernter were the other
discussants in this panel. Judge
Charles Rubiner, originally
scheduled to be a discussant,
could not participate because of
a trip out of town. This dis-
cussion stressed the need for
closer relationships between the
Jewish Community Council and
its constituent organizations.

Suggestions were made that the
community calendar maintained
by the Council could be rendered
more effective if organizations
scheduled their affairs and puro-
grams sufficiently in advance to
decrease further the number of
conflict in dates. The suggestion
etas made that neighborhood
meetings ought to be held in
connection with a program to
institute greater cleanliness and
neatness of stores and streets
in Jewish residential areas. The
need was also indicated for an
advisory service to organizations
in connection with problems of
policy and program.
Two other round table dis-
cussions followed. The round ta-
ble on "Discrimination in Em-
ployment" had Aaron Droock as
chairman and Gerson B. Cher-
toff, Charles Feinberg., Nathan
Milstein and M. William Wein-
berg and Harry Yudkoff as dis-
cussants. Myron A. Keys was
prevented by illness from par-
ticipating in this panel. The new
development of discrimination
against Jews in industries with
defense contracts was discussed.
Technics of cooperation with the
President's Committee on Fair
Employment Practices, the De-
troit Council on . Fair Employ-
ment Practices, and the Jewish
Occupational Council in New
York were mentioned. Emphasis
was also placed on the need
for extensive research and in-
quiry in order to establish
clearly cases of discrimination.
The round table on "Cordi-
nation of Educational and Cul-
tural Activities" was presided
over by Aaron Rosenberg.
Shloime Bercovich, Maurice A.
Glasier, Bernard Isaacs, Dr. S.
Kleinman, Benjamin Laikin and
Isaac Franck were the other
discussants. Lawrence W. Crohn,
originally scheduled to appear
in this panel, was called out of
town. The discussion centered
around the need for coordinat-
ing the community's programs
of formal and informal adult
education. The courses, lectures,
forums and concerts, sponsored
by the different agencies and
organizations in the community,
both in Yiddish and English and
Hebrew, are now conducted
without central clearance, mu-
tual exchange of information,

ident of the Women's Auxiliary,

hostess to the executive com-
mittee at a luncheon meeting

or joint planning, coordination
in this field, it was felt, would
be a service to the community,
provided the participation in
such coordination were sufficient-
ly broad and comprehensive. A
resolution urging the Jewish
Community Council to initiate
such a program of coordination
through a broad board or com-
mittee on adult education was
adopted by the session.
At the business meeting of
delegates which followed the
round tables, Isaac Franck re-
ported on the Council's budget
during the current year and its
proposed budget for 1942-43.

the resignation of Joseph Zwerd-

Zion, was elected. The report

was given by William Hordes,
chairman of the committee.
Under the chairmanship of
James I. Ellmann, the general
discussion on "What We Expect
of the Community Council" then
proceeded. Criticisms and praise
of the Council's program were
presented during the discussion,
and were noted for future de-
liberations. Among the partici-
pants in the general discussion
were Mr. Camiener, Mr. Pech. ,
erer, Mr. Broody, Mrs. Sheraga,
Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Laikin, Mr.
Sheraga, Mr. Lieberman, Mr.

Council's officers, and Clarence
H. Enggass the greetings of the
Jewish Welfare Federation on
the occasion of the Council's
fifth anniversary. Isaac Franck,
executive director of the Jew-
ish Community Council, spoke
briefly of the direction the
Council's work was forced to
take during the year since he
assumed office. The principal
speaker was Dr. Barnett R.
Brickner, rabbi of the Euclid
Ave. Temple in Cleveland and
distinguished national leader.
Dr. Brickner's subject was "The
Jewish Community Council in
Action". He stressed the prac-
tical accomplishments of the
Community Council in bringing
unity into the community's pol-
ick making and in providing a
platform for all sections of the
community. He stressed the ele-
ment of free, voluntary associa-
tion in the Community Council's
democratic structure. He empha-
sized the discipline and respon-
sibilities required in such a
democratic structure.
