en in honor of Cantor Hyman
Schulsinger of Temple Beth Te-
filo Emanuel by the board of di-
rectors and members of his Tem-
ple, and friends on Nov. 3 at

enrichment of the holiday serv-
ices and the general religious
life in the community.
Although Cantor Schulsinger
has been in Detroit only a com-
paratively short time, he has
already endeared himself to the

the leaders of the community and
guests voiced their praise for the
Cantor's musical and Hebraic tal-
ents.
The Cantor was presented with
a gift of $300 worth of bonds.
Chairman of this affair was
Max Schneider, ably assisted by
Morris Schneider, J. Finkelstein,
A. Hoptman; Daniel Tenchin
was toastmaster.
Pictures were taken. The Can-
tor rendered appropriate musical
selections, which were received
with enthusiasm.
After dinner speeches were de-
livered by the president of the
congrgation. W. Sandler, the vice
president, J. Savitz and Mrs. H.
Schulsinger, the wife of the Can-
ton.
