Hillel Triumphs
at Dedication of
New Synagogue
MONTREAL.—The word was
"nachas" for Rabbi Samuel Cass,
director of the Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundation at McGill University,
when Shaare Zedek Synagogue
was dedicated here.
Two of his former Hillel stu-
dents were installed as rabbi
and president of the new con-
gregation.
When Rabbi Cass came to the
McGill campus in 1946 he met
an earnest young man, A. Bern-
ard Leffell, who took over as
student president of McGill's
Hillel Governing Board. Rabbi
Cass encouraged Leffell's ambi-
tions to study for the rabbinate.
Another student leader in the
Hillel movement was Richard
Davine, now a sales executive.
Rabbi Leffell is spiritual lead-
er and Davine president of this
city's newest congregation.
Rabbi Cass, a past president of
Montreal's Board of Jewish Min-
isters, participating in the dedi-
cation ceremonies, was intro-
duced by Rabbi Leffell as "this
rabbi's rabbi."
The student secretary at Mc-
Gill's Hillel in 1946 was a co-ed
named Freda Deckelbaum. She
is now Mrs. Leffell. The social
chairman was Naomi Pinsky.
Religious Leaders Urged by Rabbi Donin to Aid in Rights Fight
Rabbi Hayim Donin of Cong.
Bnai David, Southfield, told an
interfaith and interracial audi-
ence in Lansing Tuesday that
clergymen must speak out
against "the obvious immor-
alities" in the racial issue. To
do otherwise, he said, would
give approval to the status quo.
The 180 religious leaders,
meeting at the first Michigan
Conference on Religion and
Race, voted unanimously to
back Gov. Romney's $509,000
appropriation for the Civil
Rights Commission now await-
ing action by the House Ways
and Means Committee.
"There is now less flogging
in our great schools than for-
merly, but then less is learned
there; so that what the boys
get at one end they lose at the
other."—Ben Jonson.
Rabbi Donin said churches
and synagogues "set the moral
tone of the community. They
have the best contact with
the opinion makers, the lead-
ers and the sensitive elements
of the community to whom
they can contribute strength
to bolster what convictions
they may have in this regard."
If all religious leaders take
the "same, fearless position" on
the racial issue, Rabbi Donin,
said, there will no longer be a
need for fears of reaction to a
liberal position on the issue.
Gov. Romney told the group
one of the reasons Michigan has
moved favorably in civil rights is
the active role religious leaders
take to fight discrimination.
"Religious leaders used to
plead for brotherhood from the
safe side of the pulpits," he
said. 'Now they are pleading for
brotherhood in the streets."
The conference was sponsor-
ed by the Michigan Council of
Churches, Michigan Catholic
Confernce, Michigan Chapter
of the Anti-Defamation League
of Bnai Brith and the Jewish
Community Council.
