With speakers representing
the Jewish Community Council
visiting constituent organizations
and with other speakers address-
ing radio audiences, the work
of interpreting the Community
Council is continuing into the
month of May. Because of the
large number of organizations
involved it has not been possible
to complete the program during
April.
While some organizations have
been visited by speakers as-
signed by the internal relations
committee a n d the Yiddish
speakers bureau without ad-
vance arrangements, most of the
addresses have resulted from
specific requests made through
the Community Council office.

speaking assignments are Joseph
Bernstein, co-chairman of the
internal relations committee;
Alex Belkin, Mrs. A. H. Brodie,
David J. Cohen, James I. Ell-
mann, William Hordes, Joshua

man, Benjamin • M. Laikin, Miss
Goldie Levinstein, Samuel Lie-
berman, Frank Mersky, Abraham

Aaron Rosenberg, Joseph Snit-
man, Isidore Sosnick, and Rabbi
Max J. Wohlgelernter and Isaac
Franck, Gerson B. Chertoff and
Abraham Cohen of the Commu-
nity Council staff.
During Passover and Sabbath
services a number of Detroit's
rabbis devoted sermons to a dis-
cussion of the value and activi-
ties of the Community Council.
Those who reported participa-
tion in this program are Dr: B.
Benedict Glazer, chairman of
the internal relations committee,
RabbiS Leon. Frain, Jacob Hober-
man,- Joshua S. Sperka, Isaac

ered over station WJLB and

Organizations are urged to
contact the Community Council
office to arrange for the assign-
ment 'of a speaker to address
them on the structure and func-
tion of the Community Council.

questions about the Council.

cism which is reported to ap-
propriate committees of t h e

Use of Instrumental Music in
Orthodox and Conservative
Synagogues

All instrumental music in di-.
vine services was abolished as
a sign of mourning after the de-
struction of the Temple. T h e
organ was first introduced into
the Berlin synagogue in 1815,
and aroused a storm of protest
which endured many years. Re-
form and some congregations of
the Conservative branches of
Judaism no longer bar use of
such music.
