Friday, January 17, 1958—THE DETROIT JEW ISH NEWS- 10
Siyturn at Yeshivah Marks Rededication to Learning
Register Pupils
for UHS's Term
Starting Feb. 3
By NORMAN LEBOW
The new semester of the
United Hebrew Schools will
start Monday, Feb. 3, in the
10 branches and affiliated
schools of the United Hebrew
Schools. Many of the branches,
especially in the northwest
area, have reached capacity en-
rollment, and parents who are
considering enrolling their chil-
dren are urged to do so at once
to make sure they will be ac-
cepted.
Regulations of synagogues re-
quire a minimum of four years
training in a Hebrew school as
a prerequisite for Bar Mitzvah.
Children who have now reached
the ages of eight and nine
should be enrolled to meet
these regulations. Bar Mitzvah
preparation is part of the He-
brew schools' course. There are
no extra fees or charges for it.
Special classes for girls are
offered in most branches of the
United Hebrew Schools, in ad-
dition to regular classes open
to both boys and girls. These
classes, conducted on a limited
basis, are designed especially to
prepare the girls for Jewish
living in the home. Girls pre-
paring for confirmation are re-
quired to have three years of
Hebrew school training.
Registration is also taking
place for the Sholem Aleichem
School, an affiliate of the
. United Hebrew Schools. The
new building of the Sholem
Aleichem School is at 19350
Greenfield, north of Seven Mile
Road. Transportation for this
school is provided by the Unit-
ed Hebrew Schools' fleet of
buses.
Registration is also taking
place for the Workmen's Circle
School, which is also an affili-
ate of the United Hebrew
Schools. Classes for this school
are housed in the Rose Sittig
Cohen Building, 13226 Lawton,
and, in the northwest area at
18225 West Seven Mile Road
near Southfield. Transportation
is provided by the UHS fleet.
Branches of the United He-
brew Schools are located as

It is the custom among our
people, when a course of bibli-
cal study is completed, to hold
a "siyum." It is a joyous oc-
casion, but also one of re-
newed dedication to further
study.
Such a "siyum hagodol" was
held last week at the Dexter
Young Israel for 78 students
of Yeshivath Beth Yehudah.
The boys and girls, aged 10
through 12, are students of
Rabbis Israel Grumer, Nissim
Hayward and Chaim Shloss.
The celebration, sponsored by
the PTA, was attended by sev-
eral hundred relatives of the
children and friends of the
Yeshivah and was in honor of
the students' recent completion
of the Chumosh (Pentateuch),
a study that had extended
through a period of several
years.
Guest speakers for the eve-
ning were two Yeshivah alumni,
Charles Levi and Sol Blumen-
feld.
Blumenfeld, a sophomore at
the University of Detroit dental
school, described the advan-
tages of a Yeshivah education.
He noted that the attitudes and

Beth El Grants First Harris Awards
Glens Falls, N. Y., a third-year
rabbinical student; Joseph Le-
vine. of Cincinnati, 0., a fourth-
year rabbinical student, and
Daniel Friedman, a first-year
rabbinical student. All are mar-
ried and have part-time posi-
tions.
A committee of temple trus-
tees, consisting of Emil Stern,
Sidney Karbel, Sydney Sara-
sohn and Dr. Hertz was given
recommendations by the HUC-
JIR faculty.
Further information about
future scholarships may be ob-
tained from Dr. Hertz. Con-
tributions augmenting the
Pauline Harris Rabbinical
Scholarship Fund may be sent
to Temple Beth El.
The first rabbinical scholar-
ships at Hebrew Union College-
Jewish Institute of Religion,
under the recently created
Pauline Harris Rabbinical Scho-
larship Fund of Temple Beth
El, were awarded last week for
the current academic year, it
was announced by Dr. Richard
C. Hertz, senior rabbi.
The scholarships were creat-
ed by Emanuel J. Harris in
memory of his mother as a spe-
cial Temple Beth El project to
aid and encourage gifted young
men to enter the Reform rab-
binate. The following were
awarded scholarships:
Dan Fogel, of Oak Park,
Mich., a second-year rabbinical
student; Harold L. Kudan, of
laymen outside its own im-
mediate area. However, in
medical circles, Wayne is very
highly regarded. It was pointed
out that at a Hebrew Day
School convention held recently
in Cleveland, B e t h Yehudah
was singled out as one of the
two finest Hebrew day schools
in the country.
Levi also observed that he
looks back upon his Yeshivah
education as one of the most
rewarding periods of his life.
Following these addresses,
members of the classes who
had completed the five books
of Moses took part in a ques-
tion and answer review of each
of the five books, including re-
ligious, philosophical and ethi-
cal points derived from their
study. This was interspersed
by Hebrew musical selections
sung by the Yeshivah Choral
Group, directed by Rabbi
Shlomo Hochler.
A hearty and joyous . chant
of the traditional "hazak, haz-
ak, v`nizhazek" completed the
program on a note of promise
to further pursue the study of
the Torah.

Folk Schools to Open

With the opening of its new
school term on Feb. 3, the
United Jewish Folk Schools has
opened registration for pre-
school children of 5 and 6 for
classes meeting at 10:30 a.m.,
Sunday.
According to Harry Mondry,
president, and Movsas Goldof-
tas, director, nursery class regis-
tration already has closed; how-
ever, prospective pupils are be-
ing placed on a waiting list.
Elementary students are ac-
cepted for the second term after
an examination to see into
which class they will best fit
according to age and knowl-
edge.
Curricllum includes Hebrew,
Bible, history, traditions, cus-
toms, Yiddish and music. Spe-
cial atention is given to holiday
celebration and to the Jew as
a pioneer in America and Is-
rael. Bar Mitzvah preparation
for students attending four
years also is available.

Levi, a senior in Wayne
State University medical school,
pointed out in connection with
his own Yeshivah education
that the lack of national re-
nown does not detract any
from a school's excellence.
In this connection he men-
tioned that the Wayne medical
school is not widely known to
habits he developed in the
Yeshivah have stood him well
beyond his religious studies.
He said that the reverence
and respect for learning that a
Torah education fosters carries
over into the secular studies as
well. This and the talmudic
method of "decision by rea-
son," he feels, extend their
benefits far beyond the con-
