Synagogue Institute's
Registration Continues

Registration is still being ac-
cepted at the seventh annual
Synagogue Adult Institute,
which offers a series of classes
in Hebrew language, Bible,
modern Jewish problems, rab-
binic literature, and related
subjects, Tuesday evenings at
the Beth Aaron Synagogue,
18000 Wyoming. Rabbi Ben-
jamin H. Gorrelick is Institute
chairman.
During the first session,
which began last Tuesday, men
and women with or without
synagogue affiliation, enrolled
for the courses sponsored for
the past six years by the Con-
servative synagogues of Detroit.
The Institute is under the
general theme of "You and the
Jewish Heritage."

Mormon, is a member of a
minority group who were once
persecuted and driven from the
United States, George Romney,
head of American Motors Cor-
poration, told 500 members of
Congregation Sharey Zedek, at
a dinner meeting at the syna-
gogue, Nov. 6, that the strength-
ening of spiritual values "is the
only solution to the political,
economic and social problems
we face today.
Stating that he was born in
Mexico because his grandpar-
ents had to flee there from the
United States for refuge from
religious intolerance in this
country at that time, Romney
said that the success of the
$3,000,000 campaign, now being
conducted by Shaarey Zedek to
build a new synagogue on a 40-
acre site they have acquired
for that purpose at Northwest-
ern Highway and 11-Mile Road,
takes on a new significance and
importance when it is related to
the task ahead of us of "win-
ning the war for fredom."
He is not nearly as worried,
Romney emphasized, about what
is happening outside of the
United State s, including the
Russian threat to our way of
life, as what is happening in
this country. He said that both
of our major political parties
had failed to take a s t r o n g
stand on the religious and
moral values upon which our
country was founded, and in-
stead of favoring the dispersal
of power had returned to the
dangerous practice of concen-
trating it in the hands of pres-
sure groups. Unless a firm
stand is taken against such con-
centration of power, whether it
be in the hands of the farm
bloc, the labor unions or in-
dustry, some form of govern-
ment control entierly foreign to
our American way of life will
have to be instituted, he de-
clared.
We can win the war for
freedom, he said, by the dis-
persal and balancing of
power, and by basing our pol-
icies on spiritual and moral
values which our forefathers
followed in founding our na-
tion.
The adherence to funda-
mental spiritual values in our
planning and our actions are
the real basis to the planning
and carrying out of proper
economic policies and the
preservation of our freedom,
he declared.
Romney, who is head of a
citizen's group working for the
betterment of Detroit's public
schools, explained that the Mor-
mons have their own schools,
called seminaries, providing
religious education and training
for their youth, supplementing
secular education in the public
schools. These seminaries, he
said, are similar to Shaarey
Zedek's Religious School, and
the provisions being made for
Shaarey Zedek's school in its
new synagogue building, is an
important and significant part
of its program, which deserves
wholehearted support.
Rabbi Morris Adler, in intro-
ducing , Romney, pointed out
that the funds being raised for
the new synagogue will help to
enrich and maintain Jewish life
in the community, of which the
synagogue is the center.
Louis Berry, president of
Shaarey Zedek, general chair-
man of its $3,000,000 cam-
paign, who presided at the
dinner, announced that in-
cluding pre-campaign contri-
butions the total pledged to
date is now $800,000, more
than 25% of the goal.
"Our dream of a new syna-
gogue," he said, "is no longer

Division chairman, pointed out
that the reason for moving the
synagogue to the new site was
the same as had caused four
previous removals since the
founding of the Congregation in
1861. There had been a sub-
stantial growth in membership,
and a moving of the residences
of members to the north and
west in line with the population
trend in the city, he explained,
so that the present Synagogue
is no longer adequate to serve
members' needs.

of the congregation, associate
chairman of the cam-

ciate general chairman of the

bers, provision has been made
