By the Oak-Woodser
. And when was there ever a
more fit time to start back to,
work than after Labor Day and
before the opening of a brand
new year!
A nice summer we had, and
we hope yours. was restful, too.
Especially those of you who were
able 'to outsmart some of that
torrid July and August heat by
keeping a step or two ahead of
the weather man.
We can't help but notice the
magic that's woven when August
is torn of the wall calendar
and in its place comes the first
of September.
Suddenly, we grow out of
dream-like-lethargy and start be-
4 ,iiming to plan our course of
action for the year ahead.
And so we see our synagogues
rapidly making plans to greet
their members, as the New Year
approaches. And we watch busy
mothers gather together their
clan and march them off to be
fitted for "back to school."
Not only public school staffs,
but religious school teachers busy
themselves in preparation for the
return to Sunday and Hebrew
school.
Each year finds our religious
school programs increasing in
scope and intensity, so that our
young people will learn better
what it is to be a Jew.
In the fall of the year we look
ahead with high hopes of a good
and full and rich new year, and
we set our sights so that the goals
we set may be reached.
- This column, like all of you, is
planning a course of action this
war that, we hope will bring you
information and perhaps a few
highlights of activities in the
South Oakland County area.
To accomplish this, we plan
to bring you a few personality
sketches of some of the leading
citizens and workers inNthe Oak-
Woods area.
From time to time, we shall
detail some of our very fine or-

ganizations, what they offer to
their memberships, who their
leaders are.
From what we are able to
learn, this is to be a busy year
in civic improvement, and we ex-
pect once in a while to depart
from news of strictly Jewish in-
terest to some of the overall com-
munal developments and projects
that interest us all — Jew and
Gentile alike.
There is much happening to
improve this still relatively
young neighbrohood and we hope
to be there relating signs of its
growing maturity.

Oak-Wood's Nursery
To Open on Sept. 19
American Jews tend to think
of the synagogue in terms of a
structure substantial enough
for all the many activities as-
sociated with the American
synagogue. But, as Desider
Holisher points out in his new
picture book, "The Synagogue
And Its People," American
Jews have always provided for •
their spiritual needs under all
circumstances. This photograph
from Mr. Holisher's book pro-
vides an example of such pro-
visions in unusual circum-
stances. The modest Tel Aviv
Synagogue on the second floor
of an old brownstone house in
mid-Manhattan, just. off Broad-
way, meets the needs of the
busy merchant and professional
for daily and holiday worship.
"The Synagogue And Its . Peo-
ple" was published by Abelard-
Schuman.
Rabbi Yaakov I. Homnick,
spiritual leader of Young Israel
Center of Oak-Woods, announces

idge. ,

expert who formerly supervised
another nursery in the Oak Park
vicinity, has • been engaged as
