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 follows: . 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 Adas Shalom, 7045 Curtis, UN. 4-9210; Beth Aaron, 18000 Wyoming, UN. 1-1745; Beth Abraham, 8110 W.

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.

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- • OTHER PUBLIC FUNDS . SAVINGS AND TIME DEPOSITS I • • • TOTAL DEPOSITS . . • • • . .
