Back from a three-week visit
in Israel, Maurice H. Zackheim,
well known Detroit leader, for-
iner president of the Zionist
Organization of D e t r o i t, the
United Hebrew Schools and Con-
gregation Shaarey Zedek, spoke
with enthusiasm about Mizrachi
schools in the Jewish State.
Mr. Zackheim said that his
primary interest on his present
visit was to study the school
systems in the country. While he
was deeply impressed with all
efforts at advancing Jewish
learning and with the manner
in which Hebrew became a liv-
ing tongue, he said that his per-
sonal view is that the Mizrachi
schools are among the best he
has seen anywhere.
Comparing his present visit
with the one 22 years ago, when
he visited Palestine together
with Mrs. Zackheim, Mrs. Isaac
Shetzer and the late Mr. Shetz-
er, Mr. Zackheim said that it is
impossible to recognize the land.
"It has changed and continues
to change," he said.
