Test Case in Chicago on Cantors'

case on trial here, behind closed
chamber doors, before Superior

Four rabbis have been called
as witnesses in the case, and the
court has appointed a Jewish at-
torney. Aaron Cohen, to act as
"friend of the court" and help
advise the judge. Furthermore,
the judge himself has served four
terms as a president of a syna-
gogue. IUNS, of suburban Rogers
Park, according to The Sentinel,

The case grew out of a petition
of annulment of marriage filed
by Mrs. Judith 0. Polland against
her husband, Arnold Polland. She
claims that their marriage in
1958, was "illegal" because the
wedding was performed by a
cantor, Moses Silverman, and not
by a rabbi. She contends that
State law provides that marriages
must be performed only by or-

States, but is not expected to
permit him to remain in the
land, in spite of the policy of
permitting any Jew who wishes
to settle there.
Soblen, who reached Israel
on a phony passport of his
dead Canadian brother, has
retained an Israeli attorney
to defend him.
He has been arraigned offi-
cial by Israel officials and the
United States has let it be
known that every effort will be
made to bring him back to
serve his life sentence.

Hebrew Schools and Adas Shalom
Set Up Combined Educational Unit
Albert Elazar, superintendent
of United Hebrew Schools. and
Rabbi Jacob E. Segal. of Adas
Shalom Synagogue, announce
that beginning September an in-
tegrated Hebrew School and Sun-
day School Program will be set
up at the Adas Shalom Syna-
gogue.
All students, boys and girls,
upon reaching the age of eight
will be required to attend the
regular Hebrew School Program
conducted by the United Hebrew
Schools in cooperation with the
Adas Shalom Synagogue. The
new program will constitute a
change to six study hours a week.
Children will attend the com-
bined school on Sundays, Mon-
days and Wednesdays—or Sun-
days, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Each day's study session will last
two hours,
Children between the ages of
five and seven who are in the
Kindergarten, first and second
grade classes of the Sunday
School, will continue to attend
one day a week on Sundays
under the jurisdiction of the
synagogue. Similarly the ninth
and tenth grade classes of the
confirmation study program will
be under the guidance of the
congregation.
It is the belief of both Con-
gregation Adas Shalom and the
United Hebrew Schools that this
program will intensify one as-
pect of Jewish education. The
requirement that all girls attend
a full Hebrew School program
starting at the age of eight brings
them up to the level of the cur-
rent requirement for boys. The
regular schedule is being in-
creased from five to six hours
per week. Furthermore, it will
be possible for children to par-
ticipate in co-curricular activi-
ties such as Chazanut, Torah
reading classes and other en-
richment projects.
The Adas Shalom office of the
United Hebrew Schools is open
from 9 to 1 Monday through
Thursday during July for regis-
tration.
