Orthodox Council Opens Beth Aaron School
Fight on Mixed Seating Opens with 550 Students

The Rabbinical Council of
America, representing the ortho- I
dox rabbinate, has launched a
campaign against mixed seating
of men and women in the syna-
gogue.
Rabbi David B. Hollander, of
New York, president of the Rab-
binical Council, announced that
this effort has been endorsed by
many of - the religious authorities
on the world, including the Chief
Rabbi of Israel, Dr. Isaac Halevy
Herzog; Dr. Samuel Belkin, presi-
dent of Yeshiva University, and
Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik, one
of the world's most renowned
scholars and religious authorities.
Rabbi Hollander addressed the
Council's plea to community
leaders everywhere to make an
all-out effort to retain the "sac-
red traditions of the synagogue."
He said that reforms in the syna-
gogue have not helped to bring
either Jewish youth or the gen-
eral populace closer to the syna-
gbgue.

president; David J. Miller. com-
mittee chairman; Mrs. Saul Gross-

sion of the Beth Aaron Religious
School last week, according to
Bernard Panush, school director.
The classes, held in the syna-
gogue, are for youngsters of kin-
dergarten age through grade 10.
There are two sessions, at 9:15
and 11 a.m. , each Sunday.
Rabbi Benjamin H. Gorrelick
this year will conduct a 10th
grade confirmation class, while
the eighth grade graduation class
is taught by David Levy. Mid-
week Hebrew classes for students
in high grades and musical in-
struction, led by Cantor Judah

day breakfasts for students in
grades 8 to 10 also are planned,
states Dr. Marvin A. Last, chair-
man of the synagogue's school
committee.

Local Merchant Feted
On Double Celebration

Local clothing- merchant Harry .
Suffrin last week cele-
brated a double occasion — his
65th brithday and the 35th anni-
versary of the opening of his
Detroit store.
Suffrin had worked at his
father's store in Chicago, first
after school and later in the ad-
vertising department. The latter
experience probably aided great-
ly his success in Detroit. ,
He opened his store on Shelby
in a spot which other merchants
had found unprofitable, but,
through a steady advertising
campaign of "two-pants suits,"
he soon found business steady
and growing.
Only a few years ago, Harry .
