Education Month Proclamation
Call for Enrollment of Al!
Children in Hebrew Schools
LONDON ( JPS-Palcor — The
Hebrew Education Month, inaugurated by the United Hebrew
Schools of Detroit as a pioneering venture 20 years ago, has now
become a national institution aimed at the concentration of efforts,
by the recognized agencies striving for the advancement of Jewish
learning and culture, for the mobilization of our resources and man-
power in behalf of our established schools.
Education Month will commence in Detroit on Rosh Hashanah.
The message of the United Hebrew Schools will be brought to the
Jews of our community through the synagogues, in special sermons
by our Rabbis and addresses by laymen; through the radio and the
press.
Rabbinical and lay heads of our congregations will meet at break-
fast Sunday, at a special conference at which the objectives of
our schools will be outlined and the support of our synagogues en-
rolled in behalf of this annual project.
The major objectives of the committee in charge of observance of
20th Annual Education Month in Detroit is to reach the parents of
the community, and to enlist their cooperation in the total enrollment
of our children in the schools of our community.
Having served our community for 28 years. the Hebrew Schools
today recognize the need for expansion of our educational efforts
in order to achieve the two-fold purpose of battering down indif-
ference towards Jewish obligations within our own ranks and of
awakening those latent Jewish loyalties which must be left un-
touched in the present hour of crisis in our people's history.
The United Hebrew Schools invite the interest and help of every
Detroit Jew in this project.
Sponsoring a system of Jewish education which fits properly
into the community program of American Jewish life, we have
faith that with the encouragement of parents we can make it possible
for every Jewish boy and girl to receive a Jewish education in one
of our branches.
Our 20th anniversary Education Month should be occasion for
the rallying of all our forces in behalf of these objectives.
The schools are prepared to consult parents, to advise them re-
garding their children's education, to interview children for place-
ment in proper classes.
Enrollment of all our children in classes of the United Hebrew
Schools is an obligation that must not be shirked.
To fulfill this responsibility is the prime task of our Education
Month observance this year. and we call upon all Detroit Jews to
respond by joining with us in the great effort to strengthen the De-
troit Jewish educational system of the United Hebrew Schools.

To Aid Education Efforts

man of a special United Jewish
Appeal drive conducted among
boys and girls in summer camps
throughout the East. His leader-
ship sent the drive way over the
top, with record contributions for
the relief, rehabilitation and re-
settlement of Europe's homeless
Jewish survivors.
In appealing to the younger
generation, Mr. Sinatra said: "I
feel that all Americans. of all
faiths and of all ages, ought to do
something about the appalling
plight of the surviving Jews over-
seas who are suffering so bitterly
from the effects of Nazi slavery
and torture."
The $100,000,000 United Jewish
Appeal supports the life-saving
programs of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee. relief and re-
habilitation agency for destitute
Jews overseas: the United Pales-
tine Appeal. which provides for
the mass settlement and upbuild-
ing of the Jewish homeland in
Palestine; and the National Ref-
ugee Service (United Service for
New Americans), which aids new-
comers to this country in their ad-
justment to the American way of
life.
Manchester Guardian hints at a
possible schism in the parlia-
mentary ranks of the British La-
bor party over the Palestine is-
sue. Says the Guardian's London
correspondent:
"The Commons Palestine de-
bate was a private agony to many
Labor party members. apart
from the general painfulness of
the issue. Crossman and Silver-
man inflamed the conscience of
the Party by recalling the utter-
ances of the party leaders in
resolutions adopted before the
formation of the Labor Govern-
ment, which led the Jews to ex-
pect from this Government more
than from its predecessors. No
one can tell what would have
happened if Silverman had press-
ed for a decision. At least one
member of the Labor party Ex-
ecutive notified his whips" that
it would be impossible for him to
vote for the GovernMent, and
Michael Foote spoke plainly of
a quarrel between the Laborite
backbenchers and the Govern-
ment."
