hers, while causing others to
ponder what it is.
Actually, it no longer "is."
It was the Detroit Jewish com
munity's first educational or
ganization and a predecessor of
the present United Hebrew
Schools.
The association's purpose, as
set down in its Articles of Asso-
ciation, filed on June 8, 1898.
was "to establish, maintain and
control an institution . . . for
the disseminating of religious
knowledge, and especially for
the purpose of instructing chil-
dren of the Jewish faith in the
history of that it
and its
doctrines, in the if
lan-
guage
Original members of the
TTAD were as follows:
Kate Roth, Samuel it
Ginsburg, David W. Simons,
Abraham Jacobs, Wm, Saulson,
Samuel Goldstein, Joseph Ros
enzweig, Samuel Rosenthal,
Moses Blumrosen, David Blum-
enthal, Julius P Rosenthal, Hy-
man Buchalter, Israel L Schein-
man, Moses Harris, Abe Keidan,
Harry Meyers, Phillip S. Apple-
baum, Joseph Levitt, Harris
Kaplan, Simon -Lewis, Michael
Davis, Aaron Solomon.
The articles now rest in the
possession of Hy Keidan, son of
the late association member
Abe (Abba) Keidan.
Detroit will play host to the
1960 conference of principals of
Jewish day schools in the Mid-
west, it was decided at this
year's conclav e, held over
Thanksgiving weekend in St.
Louis.
Over 15 day schools from
eight states were represented at
the parley, which was dedicated
to the theme, "A Curriculum to
Meet the Jewish Child's Needs
Today."
Rabbi Joseph Elias, principal
of Detroit's Beth Yehudah
Schools, developed the theme
in a session of Jewish history.
Other sessions were devoted to
Hebrew language and Bible
study.
Among the resolutions adopt
ed for submission to Torah Um-
esorah, the National Society for
Day Schools, were suggestions
for nation-wide standardized
tests in all major Hebrew
school subjects, preparation of
a teacher's outline for) ' Jewish
history and a it
that the Chum ash be mastered
in all schools by the end of the
sixth year.
The second in a series of lec
tures being sponsored by Cong.
Ahavas Israel, Grand Rapids, as'
part of its adult education pro
gram will be delivered by Rabbi
Edward Neufeld at 9 p.m., Mon
day. He will speak on "The
Position of the Jews in the
Soviet Union."
Lectures last 45 minutes and
are followed by a general di
cussion. Included amOng them
will be a symposium on "Israel
and the Diaspora" (Feb. 1), a
concert by the Music Study
Group of Detroit, conducted by
