Temple Israel Plans
Sabbath Services
During Summer

The Confirmation Service of
Temple Israel will be held Sat-
urday evening, at 8 o'clock, in
the Auditorium of the Detroit
Institute of Arts. The public is
invited.
As the procession of the con-
firmands begins promptly at 8
o'clock, it is necessary that all
who attend the service arrive no
later than 7:30, so that the entire
congregation be seated when the
pageant of Confirmation begins.
Cantor Robert S. Tulman,
Karl W. Haas, organist, and Dan
Frohman, director of Temple
Israel Choir, have arranged a
new program of Confirmation
music. A feature of the musical
program will be the choral ren-
dition for the first time in De-
troit of Lewandowsk•'s "All the
World Shall Come to Serve
Thee."
Rabbi Leon Fram has written
a new service for this class—the
third Confirmation class to be
blessed by him at Temple Israel.
The theme of the Confirmation
Service is "Building a New
World."
This Friday night, Temple
Israel holds its High School
commencement services. Miss
Helen Louise Goldstrom, director
of the National Federation of
Temple Youth, will preach on
"A Challenge to Jewish Youth."

Rabbi Wasserman
Talks at Forum
Of Beth Yehudah

Rabbi S i m c h o Wasserman,
newly elected dean of Yeshivath
Beth Yehudah, will be heard at
a "Shevuoth-night" gathering,
Saturday, at 11 p. m., in the
Yeshivah building, in observance
of the traditional custom to spend
the first night of the holiday in
the study of the law.
Other speakers will include
Rabbi Chaim M. Katz, dean of
the Rabbinical College of Telshe
of Cleveland, who is visiting in
Detroit on behalf of his institu-
tion; Rabbi Isaac Stollman, hon-
orary president of the Yeshivah,
and Rabbi M. J. Wohlgelernter,
president.
Those who wish to remain
after the open forum, will have
an opportunity to attend classes
in the following subjects: Tal-
mud, Ayn Yaakov (the story of
the Lawgiving), Bible (the Ten
Commandments; the Book of
Ruth). Refreshments will be
served by the Ladies of Yeshi-
vath Beth Yehudah.
The faculty of the Yeshivah
will be in charge of the classes,
with Rabbi Wasserman teaching
the Talmud class. The public is
invited.

Selecting the Post Chapel for
the Bar Mitzvah service, on May
13, the large congregation was
composed of Jewish and non-
Jewish officers, nurses, enlisted
men, patients and a few civilians.
Col. A. J. Canning, the com-
manding officer, accompanied by
his staff, attended the services,
which were conducted along the
traditional pattern. Seven serv-
icemen were called to the Scroll
during the reading of the Torah.
The boy recited the benediction
and the Haftorah in Hebrew,
and after receiving the charge
from Rabbi Adler the Post was
greeted by Maj. James E. Mc-
Daniel, Post Chaplain.
