An interesting resume of the
great address delivered at the
Conference by Henry Monsky,
president of Bnai Brith, was
given by Daniel Temchin, local
Mizrachi leader. Mr. Temchin
paid tribute to Mr. Monsky and
declared that the Conference was
a great spiritual gathering giving
strength to Jewish traditional as-
pirations.
Rabbi Fram severely con-
demned the American Council
for Judaism and described the
dramatic moments which marked
the repudiation of this anti-Zion-
ist body by the Conference. He
declared that the action of the
anti-Zionist Council helped more
than anything else in assuring
adoption of the resolution favor-
ing a Jewish Commonwealth in
Palestine.

the national delegates of the
Jewish Labor Comittee,

ful in plans for rescue work for

At a public meeting to be held
next Tuesday evening, Oct. 5, in
the Frank Memorial Building of
Congregation Shaarey Zedek, the

the recent American Jewish Con-
ference will describe their reac-
tions to the Conference and will
outline the decisions arrived at,
especially as they affect the fu-
ture of Palestine.
The Zionist Council of Detroit,
the representative Zionist body

in the city, has arranged this

Two occurrences at the Con-
ference were described as "holy
moments" by Mr. Bernstein: The
scene at the opening session
when venerable rabbis partici-
pated in a memorial for the Jew-
ish victims of Nazism, and the
session which marked the adop-
tion of the Palestine resolution
calling for the establishment of
a Jewish Homeland in Palestine.

Isaac Franck's Report
Prior to the presentation of the
reports on the Conference, Mr.
Ellmann called the delegates' at-
tention to the forthcoming all-
day Council Institute to be held
on Oct. 24.
Isaac Franck, executive direc-
tor of the Council, gave a brief
report of the Council's recent ac-
tivities. He told of efforts to
eradicate the ill-effects of some
recent anti-Semitic outbursts and
the share of the Council in the
fight to eliminate prejudice. He
also described the Council's war
efforts and the co-operation givert
by the Council's constitutent or-
ganizations to the OPA and other
government agencies.
It is expected that reports will
be submitted at this meeting by
the following: Rabbi Morris Ad-
ler, Rabbi Leon Fram, Fred M.
Butzel, Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich,
Morris Shaver and Daniel Tem-
chin.
Members of all Zionist groups
are invited to this meeting, which
is also open to the public at
large.
A revised edition has been is-
sued by Bloch Publishing- Co. of
Dr. Sidney E. Goldstein's "The
Meaning of Marriage and the
Foundations of the Family: A
Jewish Interpretation."
This volume appears in more
attractive form, has been com-
pletely revised and enlarged. The
author, who is associate rabbi of
the Free Synagogue of New. York,
professor of social service at
Jewish Institute of Religion and
chairman of the Jewish Institute
on Marriage and the Family,
writes authoritatively on the sub-
ject.
Introducing the reader to the
laws and ideals that have gov-
erned the Jews in marriage and
family matters, Rabbi Goldstein
discusses all the vital problems
connected with marriage and
touches upon the issues associ-
ated with family life.
Of particular value to newly-
weds, this volume has great
worth for those who have been
married for some time but who
are unacquainted with Jewish
traditions.
