Isaacs Honored

Writes Article on
Butzel, Keidan in
Hebrew Magazine

A warm tribute is paid to the
scholarship and literary abil-
ity of Bernard Isaacs, former
superintendent of the United
Hebrew Schools, in an article
in the current
issue of Shevi-
ley Hahinukh,.
edited by Ze-
vi Scharfstein.
The article
paying honor
to Mr. • Isaacs
w a s written
by Samuel J.
Borowsky, na-
tional leader
o f Histadrut
Ivrith, the
movement for
t h e advance-
ment of He-
brew culture
in this coun-
B. Isaacs
try.
This issue of Sheviley Hahi-
nukh includes an interesting es-
say, "Ekhod Me-Ir," which in
English is announced as "Two
from a City (From Diary of a
Principal)," by Mr. Isaacs. The
Detroit educator bases his rem-
iniscences on the quotation of
"I will take you one of a city,
and two of a family," from Jer-
emiah 3:14. In his essay, Mr.
Isaacs recalls his association
with the late Fred M. Butzel
and Judge Harry B. Keidan and
pays tribute to the interest they
had shown in the United He-
brew Schools and their com-
munal devotions.
