Paley, May 30, 1947 Page Eleven DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronic/a MAN OF THE WEEK Sisterhood •tnai Moshe Awaits Graduation Set at Shaarev Zedek A NEW AND ENERGETIC personality has been added to Detroit's bustling Jewish community. This friendly and business-like individual is Joseph Abrahams, who recently assumed the duties of executive director of Shaarey Zedek. Abrahams will be in complete charge of administration in the Consecration Rites Consecration services of Bnai Moshe will be held at 10.30 p.m. Sunday, June 8, in the Synagogue. Religious School's Exercises June 6 Synagogue. Stepping out of a comparable position which he held for three years at the United Talmud Torahs of Montreal, Abrahams brings a welter of communal experience in various fields with him. Although his services have been confined to Montreal and its population of 70,000 Jews. Abrahams' back- ground of multiple activities patently qualifies him for this new position. "Though my stay in Detroit has been brief," Abrahams said, "I have already noticed the similarity between this Jewish community and Montreal's. The problems here are relatively the same as in Canada and we have identical or- ganizations to deal with them." • Shirley Reinstein will give the opening prayer, and nine other consecrants, Sally Grossman, Na- talie Lipsitz, Helen Fish, Loretta Lober, Edith Hittman, Shirlee Stern, Elinor Simons, Eleanor Weiss and Thelma Roth, will speak on the "Effect of Palestine on American Jews." Graduation exercises fortwelfth grade students of the haarey Zedek Religious School will be held in conjunction with the late Friday services at 8:30 p.m. June 6, in the Synagogue. Highlights of the service will be the presentation of the floral offer- ing and a special rendition of the cantata "What is Torah?" Esther Landau will lead in the floral offer- ing and Sheila Meister will give the closing prayer. Edwin Ross Lewinson will de- liver the valedictory address and Suzanne Miriam Berger will pre- sent the class gift. Other members of the graduating class are Leonard Irwin Baron, Justine Leslie Bessman, Dale Boesky, Eliot Charlin, Audrey Cornfield, Irene Sharon Cott, Wil- liam Shetzer Frank, Marylin Sue Glasier, Sylvia Goldstick.

He received a degree in accountancy from Sullivan's College and a short stay at McGill University studying English literature rounded out the traditional program of higher learning. Not to be limited in his intellectual Scope, Abrahams fortified himself with a thorough background in Jewish and Hebrev7 culture. He attended the Jewish People's schools for six years, and after his Bar Mitzvah, spent two additional years at the United Talmud Torahs, where he was later to be put in charge of administration and fund raising. • • • 4 ABRAHAMS BEGAN HIS career of service to Jewry at an early age when he helped organize the Junior Congregation of the Young Men's Hebrew Association, and for his efforts was rewarded by being elected the first president. He maintains an interest in Zicnism, and from 1937-40 served as secretary of the Maccabean Lodge of Zionist Order, Habonim. Abra- hams pointed out that Zionist ideals are supported unstintingly in Montreal. As further evidence of his interest in this movement, he was a member of the conventions committee of the Zionist Order of Canada, and served on the educational committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress. For 10 years Abrahams served as executive secretary of a large Synagogue in Montreal, besides being a member of the Lord Reading Club, a social organization, and of the Knights of Pythias. • • • Arnold Morton Goldberg, Marcia Gordon, Irene Greenwald, Burton Moss Imber, Charles Leonard Kra- mer, Edythe Joy Lefkowitz, Daniel Elakn Levin, Naomi Ellen Linden, Daniel Lublin.
