AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE JEWISH PUBLIC:

1:11

I am writing this letter to the Jews of Detroit because I
want the six hundred children in the Yeshivath Beth Yehuda
to have an opportunity that I myself never had—the op-
portunity to get a complete Jewish education.

I have always missed that Jewish education, always felt
something was lacking. For this reason, I am willing to help
financially and otherwise, to the best of my ability to see
that others who want it should be enabled to have it. I am
appealing to you to do the same.

Someone told me a story about Edward G. Robinson,
the movie star, who was traveling through Chicago on the
occasion of his Yahrzeit. He stopped at a downtown syna-
gogue and led the services in a manner that made everyone
proud. People who arc proud that a movie star should do
this ought to help make it possible for others to do the same.

The Jewish Education of these children in Beth Yehuda
will serve as a safeguard for Judaism. Because they will
enrich Judaism, I will be able to remain a Jew. All you
readers will be able to remain Jews.

The emphasis at Beth Yehuda is upon training young-
sters to be intelligent and well informed Jewish laymen.
The Yeshiva also provides the source from which students
can go on to higher branches of Jewish learning. The
Yeshiva is Detroit's citadel of spiritual strength. We must
guard it so that it may remain strong.

Everybody is welcome to visit the Yeshivath Beth
Yehuda on Cortland at Dexter and see what is going on
there, sec beautiful pictures in life like the ones on this page.

As one who is eager to see Jewish education and culture,
real education and culture, flourish in this city, as one who
will take satisfaction in the knowledge that his efforts make
it possible to raise hundreds of Jewish children as standard
bearers in the years to come, I invite you, I urge you, to send
your donation to the Yeshiva. Make checks payable or
bring your donation to Yeshivath Beth Yehuda. Cortland
at Dexter, Detroit 6, Michigan.

Sincerely,

DAVID GOLDBERG
