column in a recent issue of The
Jewish News.
Dr. Scher's statement explain-
ing the status of the issue fol-
lows:
"In a recent column in The
Detroit Jewish News, a writer
assumed to tell of the pending
litigation in this Community
involving our Synagogue. A
number 'of facts were distorted,
but I take principal exception
to the statement that a tempo-
rary injunction was secured
which stopped the Board's im-
plementation of its decision.
"As the president of the syna-
gogue and therefore one of the
defendants in the easei I should
like to set the writer right on
the facts. The Judge refused,
very wisely I think, to order
any injunction to anybody. The
exact wording of the Court's
order is as follows: --
" . . . until the trial of this
cause, or until the further order
of the Court, the parties hereto,
and each of them, refrain from
establishing or permitting in the
Synagogue of Congregation
Beth Tefilas Moses for the holi-
days of Rosh Hashanah ... Yom
Kipper . . . and the Feast of the
Tabernacles . . . or at services
on the days preceding or suc-
ceeding said dates, in connection
with the celebrant of said holi-
days, any different seating ar-
rangements than prevailed for
the corresponding holidays in
the year 1954.
"When the Judge was advised
that a substantial number of
men and women had sat to-
gether during the High Holy
Days of 1954, he said that the
same arrangement should pre-
vail in 1955. Accordingly, during
the 1955 High Holy Days and
on Sukkot, and again during
the same holidays in 1956, all
who wished followed the mixed
seating arrangement in a cer-
tain part of the synagogue, and
the others foll-owed the segre-
gated arrangement, all in ac-
cordance with the court's order.
"I should like to approve,

In the first of a series of
articles, in the Detroit Times,
Tuesday, describing his experi-
ences on his recent trip to
Israel, Dr. Richard C. Hertz,
rabbi of Temple Beth El, de-
clared that the Israelis recog-
nize the dangers they face but
that "they go about their busi
ness each day" and "are simply
philosophical" about it.
"They tend to belittle the
danger because they know they
must coexist with it," he wrote.
Referring to the "grim, in-
domitable atmosphere," Dr.
Hertz stated that there are
heroes everywhere. He wrote:
"The people believe that con-,
cessions will win no peace, com-
promise has proved senseless;
only unbroken determination

and tough courage will win the
day."
"When you stop and think
what it means in human terms
. . . for a country to double its
population in eight years and
still provide to each and all,
shelter, food and clothing; a
job; schools for the children;
medical facilities for the sick;
and other necessities for daily
living, - you realize that absorb-
ing the newcomers has been the
most fantastic achievement of
modern times," he declared.
Dr. Hertz's series will con-
tinue through Sunday in the
Detroit Times.
