Chajes Named
Music Director

MOST APPROPRIATE BIBLICAL
QUOTATIONS FOR CURRENT WEEK

Noted Composer, Conductor
and Pianist Will Succeed
GaIvan; at Beth El

Appointment of Julius Chajes,
composer, conductor and pianist,
as music director of Temple Beth
E, has been announced by the
board of trustees.
After a distinguished musical
career in Vienna and in Palestine,
Mr. Chajes
achieved a not-
able reputation
in New York as
composer and as
recitalist before
distinguished au-
diences.
The musical
career of Mr.
Chajes began at
the age of nine,
when he first ap- Julius Chajes
peared as concert pianist. His
first compositions also date back
to that early age. In addition to
his studies.. !Ander Moritz Rosen-
thal, who in turn had been Franz
Liszt's master pupil, Mr. Chajes
studied composition, the violin,
and conducting at the Vienna
Conservatory ,of Music. In 1933
h
he was the honor
prize winner
at the First International Com-
petition for Pianists in Vienna.
TAUGHT IN TEL AVIV
In 1934, Mr. Chajes was leader
of the piano class of the Music
College in Tel Aviv, Palestine.
For two years he conducted the
Jerusalem Male Choir, and from
1934 to the time of the annexa-
tion of Austria, he was music
critic for the "Wiener MtNikzeit-
ung. -
His "142nd Psalm," for mixed
che4eue- and organ, was performed
at the New York World's Fair
under the baton of Hugh Ross,
conductor of the Schola Can-
torum, at the convention of the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations in Detroit in 1941, and
in local Christian churches. Since
his coming to Detroit recently as
director of music of the Jewish
Community Center, he has been
in great demand in musical
circles locally and elsewhere.
Mr. Chajes will devote this
summer to the writing of new
compositions of synagogue music,
which he will introduce in the
Temple next fall. He will assume
his duties on August 1.
Mr. Chajes succeeds George
Galvani, who, after 14 years of
devoted service to the congrega-
tion as choir director and can-
toral soloist, is leaving Detroit to
make his home on the Pacific
coast. During his stay here, Mr.
Galvani organized the Temple
Choir, one of the few all-Jewish
choruses in this country.
CHAJES' COMPOSITION
PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK
"By the Rivers of Babylon,"
Julius Chajes' newest composi-
tion, has just been published by
the Independent Music Publish-
ers in New York. The first De-
troit performance has been given
at the annual concert of the
Tuesday Musical last month and
on May 9 it was performed in
New York's Town Hall.

regarding Camp Habonim 'indi-
cates an enrollment exceeding
that of previous years. The re-
striction on transportation and
the work of many people in de-
fense industries will keep back
many parents and children from
leaving town for their vacations.
The Camp Habonim Committee
of the Center board, headed by
Mrs. Arthur J. Hass, is making
all the necessary preparations to
accommodate the increased num-
ber of campers.
Camp Habonim, the day camp
of the Jewish Community Cen-
ter, is located in the new and
spacious building of the Center
at Woodward and Holbrook. It
will open on Monday, July 6,
for an eight-week season. It will
be the 13th season of Camp
Habonim, which offers a well-
rounded program of recreation
to children who stay in the city
during the hot summer months.
The camp meets on Mondays
