Miss Selesny is an able He- braist and has mastered Hebrew and Yiddish folksongs. A student of Marguerite Ko- zenn, Miss Selesny made her first important appearance as a solo- ist at the Council-Center affair two months ago. Among the events at which she will be featured during the corn- 5ng weeks will be the Shaarey Zedek Sisterhood meeting on Monday. Miss Selesny last summer di- rected music and entertainment at the Mothers Camp at Chelsea, .Mich. She is on the staffs of the United Hebrew Schools and the Jewish Center. A symposium conducted by the National Jewish Monthly of Bnai Brith on "The 'How' of Jewish Education" has brought com- ments from Jewish leaders throughout the land. The National Jewish Monthly's symposium is based on proposals made in articles by the late Ben Rosen published before his death. The magazine's editor points out in an editorial note that Mr. Ros- en's proposals were: "1. That each of the major na- tional agencies engaged either di- rectly or indirectly in promoting or maintaining programs of Jew- ish education be encouraged to launch independent campaigns to meet ADEQUATELY their budgetary needs. "2. That a UNITED campaign be conducted, in behalf of those agencies agreeing to cooperate, similar in principle to the UJA. Need Consultative Council "3. That there is need for a national Jewish education con-, sultative council, made up of lay and professional representatives of national agencies and com- munities. "4. That on the LOCAL LEVEL, a campaign be institut- ed, for educational purposes, SUPPLEMENTING the present allocations from community cen- tral fund-raising agencies. "5. That in each community of sufficient size, a central edu- cational agency be set up, to YMZO, Jr. Hadassah To Hear Rosenstock Young Men's Ziofiist Organiza- tion will meet Dec. 11 at 8 p. m. at Shaarey Zedek, it was an- nounced by Dr. Sam Krohn, pres- ident. YMZO, in conjunction -with Russell Woods Group of Junior Hadassah, will present Rabbi Gershon Rosenstock of Shaarey Zedek. The meeting will be held in the small prayer room. All members of Russell Woods Group and the Young Men's Zionist Organization are urged to attend. Miss Gertrude Strauss is presi- dent of the Junior Hadassah group. function as the representative of the organized Jewish community for the support and promotion of Jewish education. This agency would unite all elements in the community in certain specified joint work on which they would agree." Sudran's Comment Comments for Detroit were made by A. L. Sudran, assistant director of the Jewish Welfare Federation, who points out that the same proposals were made by experts here after the recent self-study on education. Mr. Su- dran's comment, published in the current issue of the National Jew- ish Monthly, states: "This represents the concensus of the thinking of several of our community leaders on the sub- ject of Ben Rosen's proposals Nos. 4 and 5. "Those proposals are in close accord with recommendations presented to the Detroit Jewish Welfare Federation by the local Citizens Committee which car- ried out our recent Self-Study of Jewish Educational, Recreational, and Cultural Activities. "Our Citizens Committee util- ized the professional services of Israel B. Rappoport and Eli Pich- eny as director and co-director, respectively, of the study. In its earlier deliberations, it had the benefit of Mr. Rosen's counsel through his participation in our National Technical Advisory Committee. In the later stages of the study, Dr. Israel Chipkin par- ticipated actively. Require Increased Costs "The Detroit recommendations on local finance, while not calling for a supplementary campaign, would require substantially in- creased expenditures by Federa- tion for Jewish education; thus far it has been possible to make available a portion of the in- crease called for. Our recommen- dations for a central educational agency resemble fundamentally - those in Mr. Rosen's program; careful study is being accorded them, with particular attention to the question whether a central educational. agency can be ex- pected to succeed in establishing really significant areas of com- mon action among schools of varying ideologies."
