Elect Rabbi Stollman to Head IVIerged National Mizrachi

Rabbi Isaac Stollman, lead-
ing Detroit Orthodox rabbi and
nationally prominent Mizrachi
- leader, was elected president of
the merged movement of Miz-
rachi and Hapoel Hamizrachi,
at the convention in Atlantic
City.
Rabbi Stollman served as na-
tional Mizrachi vice-president
for two years.
The revered Detroit spiritual
leader will behonored on his
election a n d
for the forth-
coming publi-
cation of t h e
fourth volume
of his interpre-
tation of the
Bible and Tal-
mud at a din-
ner • planned by
Rabbi Stollmanthe D e t r o i t
Council of OrthodOx Rabbis on
Feb. 26, at Rainbow Terrace.
The merger of the two
groups at Atlantic City was
proclaimed at the opening ses-
sion of a five-day convention
last weekend. The new organi-
zation will have a combined
membership of over 150,000.
The proclamation announcing
the amalgamation traced the
history and accomplishments of
both organizations, which were
founded independently m o r e
than 30 years ago. It declared
that "the new merged move-
ment would become the united
religious voice of American
Jewry."
The two organizations merg-
ed in Israel last year as a first
step in consolidating all reli-
gious
parties in order to
strengthen religious participa-
tion in the building of an all
Jewish State."
A budgets of $2,700,000- for
1957 was approved at the clos-
ing session. The 1,000 delegates
_adopted a resolution calling on
the West to guarantee the se-
eurity of Israel as a demo-
cratic nation in the Middle East.
The convention lauded Presi-
dent Eisenhower's new Middle
East plan, but noted that the
Arab-Israel problem remains
unresolved. It asked the U.S.
to bring about direct Arab-Is-

An amibitious program for
expanding yeshivot, day schools
and cultural centers designed
to strengthen and revitalize re-
ligious life in the United States
was outlined by ' the Hapoel
Hamizrachi president.
"The new movement will
create a two-way religious link
between the United States, the
largest Jewish community in
the world, and Israel, which is
Judaism's spiritual and cultural
center," he said.

remarks with "the hope and

will be the forerunner of a

States."
' Jewish educators emphasized
that "the dearth of competent
teachers for the Jewish schools
is so great that it is threaten-
ing a breakdown of the exist-
ing Jewish all-day schools and
afternoon and evening schools."
Isidor Margolis, executive
director of the National Edu-
cation Committee of the new
group, laid particular empha-
sis on the teacher shortage.
He asserted: "Even if all the
present students in the Jewish
teachers' institutes throughout
the country should enter the
teaching profession, they would
supply less than 5 percent of
the demand."
He estimated that there are
at the preSent time some 225
day schools devoted to a curri-
culum of religious and secular
studies in the United States.
