Elect John Hopp
Beth El President
JOHN C. HOPP
John C. Hopp was elected
president of Temple Beth El at
the 107th annual meeting last
week. Hopp has been a life-long
member of the temple, and was
confirmed in the religious school
by the late Dr. Leo M. Frank-
lin in 1907.
His election to the highest of-
fice in the congregation coin-
cided, therefore, with the 50th
anniversary of his confirmation
at the temple. He served for
many years as chairman of the
ways and means committee and
the properties committee and
for the past two years as vice-
president of the temple.
Other officers elected were
Philip R. Marcuse, vice-presi-
dent, and Leonard T. Lewis,
Treasurer.
The following were elected to
the board of trustees: Louis A.
Baum, Sidney J. Karbel, Mau-
rice Klein, Sydney Sarasohn
and Dr. Max- B. Winslow.
In his annual report to the
congregation, Benjamin Wilk,
retiring president, reported that
Temple Beth El now numbers
1,748 families, the largest in its
history, and an enrollment of
1,250 children in the religious
school.
Temple Beth El is among the
four largest Reform Jewish con-
gregations in the country.
Brandeis Camp Institute
Is a Pro-Zionist Agency
Judy Ann Jacobs' "Michigan
Musings" column in last week's
Jewish News contained a re-
grettable error. It referred to
the Brandeis Camp Institute, at
Santa Susana, Calif., as a non-
Zionist camp.
This is incorrect. The Brandeis
Camp, by its very name, is pro-
Zionist. It has a strong Zionist
and Israeli atmosphere and in-
fluence and should be so re-
garded. We regret the error.
