SCHULSINGER A Testimonial dinner was giv- 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 Shill and Masonic Hall. The dinner was an expression of appreciation of the Cantor's 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 community. During the evening many of 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. Rabbi Leon Fram To Address Educators Rabbi Leon Fram of Temple Israel will deliver one of the principal addresses at the con- vention of the Jewish Religious School Teachers Association of Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, which takes place at Cincinnati, 0., on the Thanksgiving week- end. Rabbi Fram will speak on Thursday, Nov. 26, on the sub- ject "The Development of the Religious High School". In the course of his lecture, Rabbi Fram will report on his 17 years of work in Detroit in the field of religious education for youth. The experiments in religious instruction for the high school age which Rabbi Fram conducted in Detroit attracted nation-wide attention. Rabbi Fram's address to the Cincinati convention, which will be published in an educational magazine, is intended to place the educational methods devel- oped in Detroit at the disposal of religious educators through- out the country.
