n is i:W s: NZ

Given the honor of placing the cornerstone of the new
High School-Midrasha building of the United Hebrew Schools,
ABE KASLE, UHS president, expressed the wish to share the
honor with his grandsons, who "represent future occupants of
this beautiful edifice." With their grandfather at the ceremony

Sen. Humphrey, to Speak Tuesday
in First of Three Balfour Events

the . United Hebrew Schools be-
gan officially last Sunday - morn-
ing, when communal and educa-
tional leaders gathered next
door to the Esther Berman
Bldg., Schaefer and 7 Mile Rd:,
to lay the cornerstone for the
future High School - Midrasha
building.
At a public ceremony, at-
tended by a large audience,
: many of them students of the
United Hebrew Schools and
their parents, Abe Kasle and
his grandchildren, Roger, Ste-
ven and Danny Kasle and David
Jones, placed mortar around
the stone to make it a perma-
nent record.
Mandell Berman, co-chairman
with David Safran of both the
building committee and Educa-
tion Month, conducted the cor-
nerstone program, in which
participants were Rabbi Moses
Lehrman, of Cong. Bnai Moshe;
Isidore Sobeloff, executive di-
rector of the Jewish Welfare
Federation; and Rabbi Israel I.
Halpern, of Beth Abraham Syn-
agogue.
The ceremony was preceded
by a brunch, under the chair-
manship of Safran, at which the
goals and aspirations of the
Midrasha were evaluated before
a group of prominent communal
leaders.
Particularly inspiring to the
audience were brief talks by
Moshe Dworkin and Rena Kron,
members of the institution's
first graduating class on "What
the Midrasha Means to Me."
Dworkin, who also is a senior
at Wayne State University
where he majors in history,
stated that youth today are well
aware that the Jewish problem
in America today is one of sur-
vival.
"The common denominator of
students in the Midrasha," -he
said, "is • that we . know- Hebrew
and are aware of Jewish issues.
It is because we know that we

Michigan State University,
established in 1855, was the
first agricult tural . college . in
America.

Miss Kron outlined the pro-
gram of study for Midrasha
students as 'including Tenach,
commentaries, prayers, b a ck-
ground of Judaism and its
meaning in all generations, He-
brew language and modern He-
brew literature. She explained •
that most of the Midrasha stu-
dents are teachers in the United
Hebrew Schools already.
Safran highlighted the urgent
need for such a structure,
which he said serves two vital
purposes: (1) as a place where
graduates of the Hebrew
schools of the city will have
new opportunities for advanced
study; and (2) to train teachers
for new generations. .
He said that the $175,000
building, .to be ready for occu-
pancy on Dec. 1, was necessary
for both physical and psycho-
logical reasons as a high school
and college unit, and added that
28 students will graduate this
year as the first 'graduating
class.
The building, he said, is fi-
nanced half by an appropriation
from the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration and - half by subscrip-
tions of UHS board members.
Safran said that $22,000 w a s
still to be obtained' to meet the
latter commitment.
