of purposes.
The Institute will be held in
the auditorium of the Jewish Com-
munity Center, Woodward at Hol-
brook. It will open with a key-
note address on the subject, "Dig-
nity, Democracy, and Discipline
in Jewish Communal Life," with
reference to the reciprocal duties,
rsponsibilities and obligations of
the Jewish Community Council
and the Jewish community which
it represents.

Certificates to Be
Presented to Hillel
Founders on Nov. 1

Dr. Abram L. Sachar
Principal Speaker

Herman S. Osnos, well known
communal leader in Detroit, an-
nounces the names of those who,
in addition to their financial aid,
have given their moral support
to the creation of the new Hillel
Foundation at the University of
Michigan.
"Founders certificates will be
presented during the dedication
ceremony to the following:
Maurice Aronsson, Reuben R.
Allender, Nathan Bonin, Irwin I.
Cohn, Aaron Droock, Harry A.
Frankel, Norman Franklin, Abe
Kasle, Ignatz Kline, Max Osnos,
Herman S. Osnos, Morris Pennell,
Louis II. Schostak, Harold Trun-
sky, Osias Zwerdling.
The Michigan Hillel Founda-
tion with a student membership
of approximately nine hundred is
the first Foundation in the United
States to be owned by Hillel.
Abe Kasle, member board of trus-
tees of Millel Foundation, pointed
out this if other Hillel Founda-
tions throughout the country would
emulate the example set by the
Michigan Foundation, many thou-
sands of dollars would then be
released annually for other Bnai
Brith causes or for the establish-
ment of additional foundations at
such Universities and Colleges
where presently Hillel is not rep-
resented. Faculty leaders recog-
nize the value and the tremen-
dous influence which Hillel has

upon Jewish Youth.
Many colleges and universities
at the present time without a
Hillel Foundation have asked the
National Hillel Commission to
establish a unit at their college.
