Jewish Learning in Europe
Depends on Book Collection
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president
of the American Jewish Con-
gress, has issued the following
statement on the book drive:
"While we are helping to re-
lieve the physical misery of
EuroPean Jewry, we must not
overlook the task of restoring
their cultural a n d spiritual
values. Children have gone with-
out schooling for years, people
of many walks in life are look-
ing for an opportunity to fill the
gaps in their knowledge.
"Nov that they are liberated
they want to return to the source
of learning and to the origin of
Jewish culture. The Jewish
schools cannot be opened without
textbooks, synagogues need pray-
er books, libraries must be re-
constructed.
"Dr. Albert Einstein is honor-
ary chairman of a special com-
mittee for the collection which

Yeshivah Beth Yehudah
Makes Room for 150 More
Two-Story Building Acquired in Expansion Program; 5tI4
and 6th Grades Added at Day School; Plan Secular
Work at Durfee and Hutchins
The 1945-1946 board of direct-
ors of Yeshivath Beth Yehudah,
at its first meeting last Monday,
received a report that various
departments of the school will
be provided with additional class
rooms in a two-story brick
building on Dexter and Sturte-
vant, across the street from the
school structure at the northwest
corner of Dexter and Cortland.
The newly acquired building
will enable the Yeshivah to en-
roll 150 pupils who have' been
kept on the waiting list during
the current school year. Con-
gestion will be relieved in the
over-crowded preparatory Yes-s
hivah classes meeting between 4
and 8 p. on week days, and
Sunday mornings.
Day School Expanded
New facilities will be provided
for the Beth Jacob Girls' classes,
two of which now meet at Con-
gregation Bnai David. The 5th
and 6th elementary grades will
be added. to the Day School pro-
gram, and a new department of
Hebrew instruction in the fore-
noon will be opened for students
whose secular work—in the 7th,
8th, and 9th grades—will be
taken at Hutchins and Durfee
Intermediate Schools between
12 and 4 p. m., under a special
arrangement with the Detroit
Board of Education.
The auxiliary building also
will make possible special in-
struction in art,' music, and other
elective subjects for Beth 'Yehu-
dah Day School students after 4
p. m., and allow more room for
a number of extra curricular
activities.
Contribute Initial Fund
A sum of $7,000 as a down
payment on a . total of $40,000
cost of the new building was
raised by a Citizens Committee
from a group of. Yeshivah neigh-
bors. Jewish families and rn6r-
chants of the Russell Woods sec-
tion recently evidenced much
concern over the proposed con-
struction by Lewis Bros. of a
funeral parlor in the heart of the
business and residential district
on Dexter and Cortland. At the re-
quest of neighbors and parents
of its students, Yeshivath Beth
Yehudah appointed a committee
consisting of David J. Cohen,
chairman, Robert Rosehberg and
David I. Berris who explained to
Lewis Bros. that their projected
mortuary might do considerable
harm to the Yeshivah, and re-
quested that they forego their
plans at that location. Lewis
Bros. expressed favorable reac-
tion.
Citizens' Committee
A committee representing
the interests of the citizens, con-
sisting of Louis Tatken, -chair-
man, Harry Kraft, Ben M. Lewis,
Israel Schwartz, Joseph Weis-
berg, Sam Kane and Mendel
Shifman, concluded its effort at
the end of May and presented to
the Yeshivah the title to the
structure on 12326-12330 Dexter
Blvd., which was purchased
from Lewis Bros. at cost.
Rabbi M. J. Wohlgelernter,
president, Rabbi H. N. Carlebach
of the Yeshivah staff, secretary
Louis Levin, treasurer, and Isa-
dore Cohen, chairman of the
Administrative Committee, were
re-elected to serve for another
year. Morris Mohr is- the new
vice-president and Rabbi Moses
-Fischer continues as chairman of
the Vaad Hachinuch.
The annual report presented
at last Monday's directors' meet-
ing showed a total expenditure
of $95,129.54, including $22,-
979.52 by the Ladies of Yeshi-
vath Beth Yehudah. Income
was from the following sources:
Students' fees, $25,000; dues and
donations, $35,000; synagogues,
$10,000; annual functions, $12,-
000; Jewish Welfare Federation,
$1,875.— A deficit of $2,866.44
was incurred. The budget for
1945-1946 is $134,000.
