T h e newly-
•
formed council
Karper is the coordi-
nating body for the three
branches of Young Israel — De-
troit, Northwest and Oak Park.
Its purpose is to coordinate the
activities of the existing
branches, to effect a stronger
youth program and to provide
for an orderly expansion of
Young Israel in the newer sec-
tions of the community.
Karper, a New York attorney,
was for 15 years a club leader
and then youth chairman and
director of Young Israel. In
1951, he was awarded the dis-
tinguished service plaque by the
National Council of Young
Israel.
The Council functiOn is open
to Young , Israel members only
and will consist of a Melavah
Malke, at which the Sisterhood
of Oak Park will serve as host-
esses.
A program of entertainment
is to be prepared by a social
committee chaired by Rabbi
Joshua S. Sperka and Meyer
Eisenberg.
Karper will spend the sab-
bath with Young Israel of
Northwest Detroit where he will
speak.
The musicale also will fea-
ture as guest artists Betty Koi,v-
alsky, local concert pianist; Mrs.
Geraldine Posen Schwartz,
soprano; the Adas Shalom
Youth Choir, t h e Talismen

Siegel; and the Adas Shalom
Symphony Orchestra, conducted

Honored guests of the eve-
ning will be Rabbi Jacob M.
Chinitz, spiritual leader of Cong.
Ahavas Achim.
According to Lurie, this year's
program is dedicated to the
"future cantors of America." He
said that unless _ the y o u n g,
American Jew concerns himself
with the perpetuation of syna-
gogue music, a shortage of haz-
zonim will become acute before
long.
Tickets to the music festival
are now available at the syna-
gogue office, Curtis and Santa
Rosa.
