for the new High School—Midra-
sha Building of the United He-
brew Schools, will take place at
12:45 p.m., Sunday, on Schaefer
Rd., between 7 Mile and Clarita,

mittee.

structed by the Schools with

vanced Hebrew learning and
teacher training.

Central Hebrew High School, the
United Jewish Folk Schools

Prisoners Mark
High Holy Days
The High Holy Days were
marked last week by Jewish
inmates of Southern Michigan
Prison.
Rabbi Joshua S. Sperka and
a group from Detroit Jewish con-
gregations held special religious
services after which a banquet
was provided by outside caterers.
"These banquets are a high
point in the lives of the men
here," said Rabbi Sperka. "They
not only afford the men an op-
portunity to observe the High
Holy days in the custom of their
faith but they realize that, even
though they have erred, they
are not forsaken by members of
their communities."
Rabbi Sperka has been Jewish
Chaplain for all of Michigan's
penal institutions since 1941. He
makes periodic trips to the De-
troit House of Correction, the
Reformatory at Ionia and the
Branch Prison at Marquette, in
addition to regular weekly visits
to the "world's largest prison" at
Jackson.
After each weekly religious
service, Rabbi Sperka holds in-
formal counselling sessions with
the men. He aids them in secur-
ing employment and living ac-
commedations when they become
eligible for parole.
While prison populations v are
rising all over the country, the
number of Jewish inmates is on
the decline. In 1942 there were
93 men of the Jewish faith incar-
cerated at SMP Now there are
only 29.
"One of the primary factors
for this decrease," said Rabbi
Sperka, "I believe, is the helping
hand the men receive from mem-
bers of the community when
they need it - most—when they
first come home.
"When a man returns to free
society there is an adjustment
period that must take place. It is
during that period when a man
determines for himself whether
he is going to make it or not."
'Arrest Greek Merchant
On Charges of Spying
TEL AVIV (JTA)—A Greek
merchant who made a large
number of visit to Israel without
apparent business here was ar-
rested this week-end on suspicion
of espionage for Egypt. He was
found to be is possession of ma-
terial whose • publication would
have an adverse effect on Israel's
security.
The merchant, a Greek na-
tional who served with the Allied
forces in this country during
World War II, aroused the au-
thorities' suspicion because of
frequent visits during which he
transacted no business. As a re-
sult of his wartime service he
was quite familiar with various
parts of Israel.
