Elected to three - year Nusbaum terms on the board of trustees were Irving Adler, Joseph Lenhard, Edward Rice and Dr. Robert Schlaff. An award for outstanding service to the congregation was pre- sented to Leonard R. Farber. A number of New York rabbis last sabbath devoted their sermons to the much-pub- licized crusade of Billy Graham at Madison Square Garden. Most expressed approval over the "awakening of interest in religion" that Graham's six- week stand has evoked, but many rabbinical , leaders had some criticism. Dr. Louis C. Gerstein, of the Spanish and Portuguese "Syna- gogue, said he objected to sell- ing religion like "one might sell tooth paste or hair dressing," and criticized "parading one's piety with 'self-satisfied smug- ness and aggressive humility." Five hundred persons are ex- pected to attend the 34th anni- versary banquet of Young Is- rael of Detroit, announced Mey- er Eisenberg, general chairman of the affair, set for June 2 at at the Latin Quarter. A special program of dinner music, in- eluding traditional Jewish "ne- gunim" will be provided by or- chestra leader Sam Barnett. Emma Schaver, soprano, and Emil Cohen, humorist, will en- tertain the guests. Eisenberg, who is treasurer of Young- Israel, said that the ban- quet is the congregation's major fund raising effort of the year. Proceeds will benefit YI youth groups. In commemoration of the 34th anniversary celebration, the YI Women's League has pledged a $2500 contribution for youth leaders' salaries. Risha G. Cohen, youth direc- tor, recently announced that the youth of the three YI branches will hold a joint outing at 1:30 p. m., June 23.
