DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

Rudolph Zuieback Re-elected President
Of Detroit United Hebrew Schools

The annual election meeting of
the United Hebrew Schools was
held Wednesday evening, June
14, in the auditorium of the Rose

RUDOLPH ZUIEBACK

Sittig Cohen Bldg. The meeting
was opened with a pledge of al-
legiance to the flag by the pu-
pils of the schools attached to
various Boy Scout groups.
Rudolph Zuieback, the presi-
dent, in opening the meeting, all-
nounced that there will be a
marked deviation in the conduct
of the meeting in that it will
open with a pageant conducted
and arranged by Henri Goldberg.
Fifty pupils participated in this
colorful pageant entitled "The
Cycle of Holidays". David Shack-
ney's class participated in the
same pageant with a recitation
in connection with the Giving of
the Torah, and Mr. Ruttenberg's
with the presentation of Bikku-
rim. The performance of the pag-
eant lasted for about an hour.
The business meeting then fol-
lowed. Morris Lachover, the ex-
ecutive secretary of the schools,
read the minutes of the annual
meeting of last year, and he
also distributed a detailed finan-
cial statement.
Bernard Isaacs read his an-
nual report in which he made sev-
eral recommendations. He recom-
mended that the Parent-Teachers
groups, the nuclii of which were
formed during the 25th anni-
versary, become the basis for
permanent Parent-Teachers or-
ganizations. He recommended that
in this work both the education
committees of the various school
units and the staff work hand in
band.

Extension Courses

He also recommended that a
complete system of extension
courses be established in all the
branches of the United Hebrew
Schools. In explaining this recom-
mendation he stated that there is
a gap between the child who
graduates from the Hebrew
school, or the child who discon-
tinued at the Bar-Mitzvah age,
and the man or woman who at-
taches himself or herself to a
functioning Jewish body. This gap
is a weak spot in the educational
setup of the formal system of
education, and it can be bridged
by well planned extension courses.
These courses ought to be plan-
ned with other existing educa-
tional institutions. Mr. Isaacs
stressed the point that this mat-
ter be given attention without
delay, and the project be launched
simultaneously with the opening

of formal studies during the com-
ing fall semester.
Mr. Isaacs also announced that
a group of boys and girls, over
40 in number, were ready for
their fall graduation exercises.
He added that this group, as their
predecessors, have completed the
seven year intensive course of
study. Ile said that in spite of
war conditions, which naturally
affected all educationaal institu-
tions, there has been no lowering
of standards in the work of the
Hebrew Schools.
Rudolph Zuieback, the presi-
dent, in his complete paper, gave
a report of the work of all stand-
ing committees as follows: finance
and budget, headed by Maurice
Landau ; administrative staff, Lou-
is Robinson ; real estate, Louis
Stoll; membership, Dr. Albert E.
Bernstein, chairman, Julius Ber-
man and Morris Fishman, co-
chairmen. In connection with this
committee Mr. Zuieback pointed
to the work done by some meni•
bers of the committee, Aaron A.
Silberblatt, Meyer Shugerman
and others. Board of Education,
Maurice H. Zackheim; scholar-

tered the armed forces, was taken

man, Morris Fishman and I. Ros-
enthal, associate chairmen. The

not only for the ordinary work

management of the High Holy
Day services in the various
schools.
