N. Y. Rabbis Here
In Behalf of Misivta

Theological School Leaders
Conduct Fund Campaign
In Detroit

Rabbi David Talansky of
Brooklyn, N. Y., and Rabbi S.
Greineman of New York arrived
in Detroit this week in the inter-
ests of Mesivta Tifereth Jerusa-
lem, the 32-year-old theological
school located at 145-147 East
Broadway, N. Y.
Endorsed by the Vaad Hayeshi-
voth, whose officers have set the
period from Passover to Sho-
vuoth for collections for this
school in Detroit, the two spokes-
men for the school are enlisting
the aid of a number of laymen
for their solicitations.
More than 250 students from all
parts of the United States and
Canada and from European coun-
tries receive their higher Jewish
education at this school. They are
provided with free meals and
lodging, as well as medical and
dental care.
Rabbi Greineman is the dean
of the Mesifta. He is an eminent
scholar and leader. Rabbi Ta-
lansky's son is a student there.
A former Detroiter, Samuel
Kaplan, conducts the "Yeshivah
Bochur Radio Broadcast" in New
York in the interest of the Me-
sivta.
Of interest to Detroiters is the
fact that the late Rabbi Joseph
Adler, father of Rabbi Morris Ad-
ler of Congregation Shaarey Ze-
dek, was an outstanding friend
of the Mesivta.
