Public Affairs Committees Formed at Over Half of Detroit Synagogues Over half the synagogues in the Detroit area have now established Public affairs committees with the responsibility of developing a greater awareness within their congregations of the social and civic issues confronting the Jew- ish community. The Jewish Community Council has recently embarked on a pro- gram aimed at the development and strengthening of these syna- gogue groups. Making this anouncement at a meeting of synagogue representa- tives, Dr. Samuel Krohn, chairman of the Council's internal relations committee, expressed the hope that eventually every congregation in the city will be able to partici- pate in this communal endeavor. The Detroit effort to draw to- gether and to coordinate the work of the synagogue public affairs committees could well set a na- tional example, Dr. Krohn stated. Participants in the meeting, which was convened by the Coun- cil, were provided with resources materials to assist them in their programatic activities. Included among the topics which were considered to be of immediate concern were: church-state problems relative to a proposed federal aid to edu- cation bill; civil rights; rela- tions between Israel and Ger- many; the question of Jewish inentity and support of commu- nal institutions , and proposed 4vos er 666 tale changes in U. S. immigration policy. An architect will help to dedi- cate his own creation April 10 when Percival Goodman joins Cong. Beth Shalom, in the dedica- tion of their new sanctuary. "Percival Goodman's design as well as his spiritual and artistic values contrib- uted so much to our new building that we wanted him to have an active role in its formal dedica- tion," said Rabbi MordecaiHal- pern, spiritual leader for the 453 - family 0 a k Park congrega- Goodman tion. Goodman, professor in the Col- umbia University School of Archi- tecture in New York, has built an international reputation for his work in institutional, educational and religious architecture. He will give the sermon during the Saturday morning services April 10 at Beth Shalom. His topic will deal with the manner in which modern architectural forms express man's values. The services will mark the midpoint of a three-day dedication program. In other events, Dr. Robert Gordis, professor of Bible at the Jewish Theological Seminary will speak at a dinner dance Sunday evening. The program will begin with Friday evening services where Rabbi Bernard S. Raskas of St. Paul, Miss., will speak. Goodman's de-, sign for the $600,000 building centered around a unique semi- circular seating plan within the sanctuary that enables over 500 Raskas people to worship within 35 feet (11 rows) of the pulpit. The sanctuary also features 10 stained glass windows de- signed by Efrem Weitzman in vivid orange, red, yellow and royal blue. A 225-square foot tapestry woven by Efram Weitzman hangs over the ark of the sanctuary, setting off an Eternal Light of natural quartz crystal. In addition to the sanctuary, the new building includes a youth lounge, a small chapel for daily worship, library, stage, classrooms and offices. The building was add- ed on to the congregation's origi- nal building completed six years ago. Formed in 1953 under the leader- ship of the late Sol Brown, who be- came its first president, the syna- gogue fashioned its membership around new families living in a new community with mutual needs. The name, Beth Shalom—House of Peace—connotes the intent of the original congregation to develop successfully the spiritual and so- cial interrelationships of the mem- bership. Prominent Detroit contractor J. A. Ferguson was cited by Rabbi Halpern for his role in the building of the sanctuary. Following a series of interrup- tions which slowed down construc- tion, Ferguson volunteered to help make available the materials and tradesmen to speed construction to meet the target date. Literally hours before the eve of the Jewish High Holy Day of Rosh Hashanah, internal scaffolding still laced the synagogue as workmen hurried to install the final perma- nent fixtures. On the holiday eve, more than 400 synagog,ue families worshiped in the completed build- ing. •••••0••••••••••••••••04 : e A REAL COOL DEAL ! : Friday and Saturday Only! • 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. • • • • I 700 • • • • • WINDOW AIR • • • • CONDITIONERS • • • • • All Reconditioned : • • • • Ready to Go • This Coming Hot-Hot a • Summer • • 220 Single Phase • • • 1/3 to 11 TON i • • $44.50 to $99.50 • • .

Lubavitcher Rebbe Links Dialogues, Intermarriage NEW YORK (JTA)—Opposition to "interfaith dialogues" which, he charged had been largely re- sponsible for "the alarmingly grow- ing rate in intermarriage," was voice by Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the Lubavitcher rebbe. Replying to a request by 250 Jewish leaders who had asked him for his views on interfaith dia- logues, Rabbi Schneerson declared: "There is no need for us what- ever to have any religious dia- logues with non-Jews, nor any interfaith activities in the form of religious discussions, inter- change of pulpits and the like. The brotherhood of mankind is a posi- tive concept only so long as it is confined to commerce, philan- thropy and civil and economic as- pects of society. "Unfortunately, brotherhood has been misconstrued to require mem- bers of one faith to explain their religious beliefs and practices to members of another faith." Noting the increase of inter- marriage, the Lubavitcher rebbe said that interfaith dialogues have created confusion in the minds "of the young as well as of their parents."
