Religious School of Temple Israel
Expands to Suburbs; Tobias Reelected

Plans for the expansion of the
Temple Israel Religious School to
the suburban area were an-
nounced this week at the congre-
gation's 24th annual meeting.
Julian S. Tobias, reelected to a
second term as president of the
temple, stated that a branch school
containing all grades from pre-
kindergarten through seventh will
open in September at Lederle
School, Nine Mile Rd. and James
Couzens, Southfield.
At the same time, the member-
ship heard a proposal to change
the Hebrew accent now being
used from the Ashkenazic to the
Sephardic pronounciation. Under
the proposed plan, the Sephardic
would be introduced in the He-
brew School in one year and into
the ritual of the congregation the
following year.

Accused Rabbi Exonerated; Defense
Started by Boston Editor Weisberg

Thanks primarily to the cam-
paign that was initiated by Joseph
G. Weisberg, co-publisher of the
Boston Jewish Advocate, last year's
conviction of Rabbi David I. Shack-
ney on charges
that he had held
a Mexican couple
and their five
children in invol-
untary servitude
on his chicken
farm in Middle-
field, Conn., was
reversed by the
U.S. Court of Ap-
peals for the Sec-
ond Circuit.
Weisberg h a d
inaugurated a
campaign of en-
ligh tenment on
the issue. He se-
cured statements
from prominent
Weisberg
;leaders, gathered
basic facts and raised a defense
fund in Rabbi Shackney's behalf.
Rabbi Shackney was sentenced
on April 17, 1963, to a year in
prison, the term to be suspended
after 60 days, and was fined $2,000.
He had posted bail pending his
appeal.
The court also dismissed the in-
dictment and ruled that the gov-
ernment had failed to show corn-
mission of a crime.
The unanimous decision was
rendered in a 24-page opinion writ-

ten by Judge Henry J. Friendly
with the concurrence of Judge
Leonard P. Moore and a separate
concurring opinion by Judge Ed-
ward J. Dirnock.
The long trial of Rabbi Shack-
ney, which began in January and
ended in March of 1963, attracted
national attention.
It . was conducted before U.S.
District Judge M. Joseph Blumen-
field and was prosecuted for the
federal government by U.S. Attor-
ney James D. O'Connor of Hartford.
Rabbi Shackney, who fled to this
country from Poland in 1941, pre-
viously was a Hebrew teacher in
Detroit and Brooklyn. He was an
occasional lecturer on Talmud at
Y ale.
For reasons of health, he gave
up his post on the faculty of the
Yeshiva of Flatbush in 1955 after
12 years of service to pursue a
livelihood in poultry husbandry
on a farm which he purchased in
Middlefield in combination with
part-time Hebrew teaching and giv-
ing of adult Jewish education
courses in nearby cities and towns.
His trouble began when Luis
Oros, a 43-year-old former Mexico
City cab driver whom the rabbi
imported with his family to work
on the Shackney chicken farm, ac-
cused the rabbi of holding him, his
wife and children in slavery with-
out paying them a cent in wages, a
charge which the rabbi denied.

service included a close friend
of Mr. Spivak's, Joseph Singer
of Hart; J. H. Chamberlain,
president of Crowley - Milner,
Inc., where Mr. Spivak was chief
merchandising manager and a
key executive; Cantor Mort
Wayne; and Rabbi Noah M.
Gamze, rabbi of the congrega-

tion.
Mr. Spivak, 1317 Joliett, Lafay-
ette Park, was the first president
of Downtown Synagogue after its
reorganization on a membership
basis 21/2 years ago.
He leaves his wife, Hilda; a
son, Dr. Jerry; a daughter, Mrs.
Benson Saler of Waltham, Mass.;
his mother, Mrs. Pauline Spivak
of Philadelphia; and three grand-
children. Interment, Philadelphia.
