Summer Term of Beth
Yehudah Yeshivah ()pews
On Sunday, April 16
Dr. Samson R. Weiss, dean
of Yeshivath Beth Yehudah, an-
nounces the opening of the sum-
mer term on Sunday, April 16.
New classes are being formed for
beginners and advanced students.
Classes meet for two, three and
four hours daily.
The preparatory department of
the Yeshivah maintains branches
in Congregation Beth Tefilo
Emanuel on Taylor and Wood-
row and in the Hampton
Public School at 18460 Warring-
ton Drive. Enrollments for the
Yeshivah and the branches will
be accepted during the Passover
week. Bus service for students
living at a distance from the
Yeshivah is being provided. Pu-
pils coming directly from the
public schools to the Yeshivah
receive lunch before the start of
the class period. For information
call the Yeshivah office, Hogarth
7990.
On the last day of Passover,
at the Yiskor services, appeals for
Yeshivath Beth Yehudah will be
made in the Detroit synagogues,
in accordance with an old "Ta-
kana" of the Detroit Council of
Orthodox Rabbis. Detroit Jewry
is expected to respond generously
to the appeals from which the
Yeshivath derives a great part
of the funds necessary for the
maintenance of the institution.
