USY Teen-Agers Hold 'Rendezvous With Fate'
The Sheraton Cadillac Hotel was
the scene of the 12th annual USY
Regional Convention last weekend.
The Central Region of the Na-
tional United Synagogue Youth
Organization is composed of teen-
agers from the states of Michigan,
Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, parts
of West Virginia and Eastern In-
diana. Approximately 550 teens
and adult advisers were in atten-
dance.
Following registration, Shabbat
eve prayers and dinner Friday, a
sociodrama was presented. It was
written and directed by members
of the cultural committee who
tried to point out the dangers of
the lack of identification with Jew-
ish tradition and with the Jewish
people.
Throughout the entire conclave
the weekend theme "613 and the
Modern Jew—A Rendezvous With
Fate" was examined, expounded,
and explored through the media
of the discussion groups, graphic
arts and oratorical contests which
preceeded the convention, a ser-
mon-dialogue and speeches.
The concept of the observance,
vitality, and relevance of the com-
mandments to comtemporary times
and people was stressed constant-
ly. The tradiaional observance of
the Shabbat, kashrut and teffilin,
among the other mitzvot, was
maintained.
Mayor Jerome Cavanagh views with approval the proclamation
he signed last week declaring Mach 5-7 United Synagogue Youth
Weekend. The occasion was the regional convention of the Con-
servative youth organization. Looking on are (from left) Gary
Moss, convention adviser, Arthur Lerner, Susan Blum, Jeffrey
Weinstein and Rabbi Irwin Groner of Cong. Shaarey Zedek. Gov .
Rommey issued a similar proclamation throughout the state of
Michigan.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
28—Friday, March 12, 1965
The months of preparation on
the part of the teen-agers and
adult advisers produced a uni-
fying spirit of congeniality and
intellectual stimulation through
singing, dancing, praying and
discussing. Each delegate re-
ceived a kit containing back-
ground material and information
which enabled a participant to
gain deeper insight into the dis-
cussion theme.
Discussion leaders themselves
attended special sessions once a
week for ten weeks prior to the
convention so that they would be
able to provide correct informa-
tion and provocative questions.
On Saturday night the campaign-
ing and election of officers for
next season was conducted. Later
that night a dance was held.
The entire convention shifted
the scene Sunday morning to Cong.
Shaarey Zedek where the morning
service was held. A brief convoca-
tion ceremony was presented, dur-
ing which two certificates were
distributed: (1) A certificate of
dedication—for having completed
a weekend of positive, creative and
dynamic Jewish study and living.
(2) A tree certificate from the
JeWish National Fund for the
tree planted in Israel in honor of
every attendee.
One other highlight was a pho-
nograph record of a dialogue be-
tween Jim Lebeau, a past presi-
dent of National USY, and Dr.
Bernard Mandlebaum, provost of
the Jewish Theological Seminary,
given to everyone.
Adult convention advisers
were Bernard Jaffe, USY re-
gional director; Rabbi Irwin
Groner, regional youth commis-
sion chairman; Trzi Berkal; "Mr.
Convention" Gary Moss, con-
vention adviser; Rabbi Pesach
Sobel; Mrs. Nicholas Fenakel;
Seymour Kaplan; Leonard Bar-
uch; Louis Weinstein; and Lou
Rosen.
Over-all teen-ager chairman was
Jeffrey Weinstein, and his co-
chairmen were Susan Blum and
Arthur Lerner. Committee chair-
men were Neil Schneider, David
Wolok, Don Skupsky, Karen Knop-
pow, Susie Taylor, Kenny Lerner,
Linda Smith, Jan Mendelson, Fran
Shiovitz, Marlene Rosen, Mark
Davis, Mark Schwartz, Rita Dry-
mond, Debby Cohen, Jan Rosen,
