Religious Fund Combine for Yom Kippur Appeals Many disturbing rumors have been circulating in the community about alleged anti-Jewish occurrences in Detroit. The Jewish Community Council acted im- mediately and vigorously as sdon as the first rumors and reports reached the administration. All prevent- ive measures were taken without delay. The complete cooperation of various non-Jewish elements was imme- diately enlisted. The municipal authorities are on the alert maintaining law and order, and the Community Council has given them every assistance possible. There is every reason to be confident that the sit- uation, while it required the strong action which the Community Council took, does not warrant any alarm or panic. All reports have been thoroughly investigat- ed and traced to their original sources. Thus the organ- ized Jewish community was able to act on the basis of FACTS, and not on the basis of rumors and allega- tions. The rumors are grossly exaggerated. If they are not stopped, they may cause undue and dangerous alarm and even hysteria. All responsible individuals and organizations in the Jewish community can help by vigorously discouraging rumors, "by preventing ir- responsible acts, and by communicating with the Com- munity Council office to obtain accurate, reliable in- formation. A full report on the situation, and on the Communi- ty Council's action with respect to it, will be presented to an early meeting of Community Council delegates. JEWISH COMMUNITY COUNCIL OF DETROIT AARON DROOK, President. Servicemen Swell Young Israel Ranks Ranks of Detroit Young Israel are being swelled daily with applications for membership coin- ing in the mails from servicemen and women stationed all over the world, it was announced by Charles T. Gellman, Young Israel president. Applications for free member- ship are coming in response to a letter sent to Detroit Jewish members of the armed forces by Mr. Gellman. Membership will become valid as soon as they return to civilian life. Applications also are being ac- cepted from discharged veterans who received similar letters. Many servicemen in filing membership applications ex- pressed - their gratitude for the contact Young Israel had kept with them. Many revealed a re- newed interest in religious ideals and a thirst for knowledge of Jewish traditions, customs and history. At a conference of synagogue presidents held Thursday in Shaarey Zedek a merger was ef- fected between the Detroit ap- peals for the Vaad Hatzala Emer- gency committee and the Ameri- can Religious Palestine Fund for the solicitation of pledges among worshipers on the Day of Atone- ment in local congregations. The agreement was negotiated by Isaac Meyer Lewin, repre- senting the Agudath Israel col- onization and child rescue ef- forts in the Holy Land, and Rabbi Eliezer Rabinowitz of Vaad Hatzala headquarters in New York, both of whom are visiting here, for the purpose of avoiding duplication and con- flict. Called by Synagogues The meeting was convened by the heads of four synago- gues in the city: William Sand- ler, president, Cong. Beth Tfilo Emmanuel; Joseph A. Block, Bnai David; Harry Rosman, Bnai Moshe; Harry Cohen, Shaary Zedek. Quotas were adopted for all 40 houses oi worship and committees were appointed to prepare the appeals. It was decided to send a De- troit representative to • New York for a first hand report of relief and rehabilitation activ- ities in European countries and Palestine. This report will be submitted to another meeting of synagogue representatives to be held Thursday night, Sept. 27. All monies pledged during the Yom Kipphr appeals are to be turned in at the Sept. 27 meet- ing. Start Hatzala Drive The sixth annual Detroit drive for Vaad Hahatzalah was initiat- ed during the High Holy Day sea- - son. Ever since the outbreak of World War II, a local commit- tee, originated by rabbis and of- ficers of local congregations has been pctive in securing the par- ticipation of Detroit Jews in this national movement. Beginning as an agency for war-torn Yesh- ivoth, the American Vaad Haha- tzalah expanded its activities to include aid for scholars, religi- ous leaders, and subsequently all groups of Jews who could be saved in the war zone. In 1945, the Detroit committee for Vaad Hahatzalah raised close to $70,- 000 for rescue, relief, and rehab- ilitation purposes. Kvutza Kinneret, . summer camp of midwestern Habonim, the labor Zionist youth move- ment, has completed a success-. ful season at Chelsea, Mich., and the Detroit Machaneh will re- sume its activities at a meeting this Friday evening at the Ulam, 1912 Taylor.
