CANTOR PHILIP KIRSHNER
Cantor Philip Kirshner, a na-
tive of Winnipeg, Manitoba, will
assume his new post as cantor
and director of religious educa-
tion at Flint's Cong. Beth Israel
about Aug. 15.
Announcement of the a p-
pointment was made recently
by Dr. S. Sors icher, president of
the Flint synagogue.
The 24-year-old cantor comes
from a traditional Jewish back-
ground. His grandparents' home
in Winnipeg was a meeting
place for Hassidim of Winnipeg,
and ,they played host to the
prominent Canadian scholar,
Rabbi Shumel Abba Twersky.
After graduating - from the
Winnipeg Talmud Torah, Can-
tor Kirshner spent a year - at
Chicago's Hebrew Theological
College. Returning to Winnipeg,
he studied at the University of
Manitoba and later graduated
from Maimonides College with
the degree of leader and teacher
in Israel.
Interrupting his studies, he
served as cantor-educator of the
Winnipeg HebreW Schools from
. 1954-55, and the following year
entered the Hebrew Union Col-
lege's school of sacred music
and education.
His career in the cantorate
actually began when he was
nine. Known as the "Boy Can-
tor," Kirshner toured the U.S.
and Canada singing at religious
services. At 17, he conducted
High Holy Day services in Win-
nipeg.
Kahana, director of the Minis-
try of Religion of the Israel
government, stressed the reli-
gious aspects of the Jewish
state's forthcoming 10th anni-
versary celebration.
Dr. Kahana, in this country
to herald . a gigantic year-long
festivities which will mark the
anniversary next year, spoke of
the many holy places that Jews
have held sacred for thousands
of years.
At a brunch and reception
tendered by local groups, Dr.
Kahana invited all congrega-
tions and organizations to take
the initiative in organizing .
groups to visit Israel during the
anniversary.
"Each year," Rabbi Kahana
said, "we come from Israel to
ask that you give of your means
to build Israel. Now, we ask
that you come and see what
your generosity has accom-
plished."
Over 150 people, including
many Detroiters who had met
Dr. Kahana in Israel, greeted
him at the program which was
Hapoel Hamizrachi, Young Is-
sponsored jointly by Mizrachi
rael and the joint committee of
Detroit synagogues and organi-
zations.
Dr. Kahana's grandfather was
the Chief Rabbi of Warsaw in
the 1880'sand 90's, and his
father held the same post until
the start of World War II.
Earlier, Dr. Kahana, in a talk
in New York, said that nearly
10,000,000 pounds are spent an-
nually by various Israeli gov-
ernment ministries and local
governments to help members
of the 12 religious groups in
Israel observe their faiths.
Referring to the projected
school of the Hebrew Union
College, the American Reform
Seminary, on which construc-
tion started a .week ago, Dr.
Kahana stated there was no
issue of religious freedom in-
volved. - He said any religious
group was free to start a move-
ment in Israel.
The issue in the HUC school,
he said, involved the question
of a building license from the
Jerusalem Municipal • . Council,
on which Orthodox Jews were
represented. He emphasized that
this was a matter of local option.
