Responding to praises on his
70th birthday, at the annual din-
ner of the Hillel Day School, at
Adah Shalom social hall Wednes-
day, Abe Kasle announced that a
campaign for $1,000,000 will com-
mence soon for a school building,
and he started the drive with a
$50,000 pledge.
Inspired by this gift a pledge for.
$10,000 was • made by Sadie and
Joseph Weiss and the Nusholtz
family.
Appeals for the expansion of the
day school idea were made by Rab-
bi Stuart Rosenberg of Toronto,
guest speaker; Harold Berry, chair-
man of the dinner committee; Rab-
bi Jacob E. Segal, honorary presi-
dent of the Hillel Day School; and
Max Goldsmith, president of the
school. .
Enhancing the program were
the roles played during the eve-
ning by students of the school
who led in the blessings, and by
the school's choir and a cast of
"actors" who staged selections
from "Fiddler on the Roof."
The tribute to Kasle was de-
livered by Mrs. J. H. Ehrlich who
praised him "for what he did with
his years" in his numerous serv-
ices which she enumerated in her
address. An engraved tribute was
presented to Kasle by Rabbi Segal.
Kasle announced the aim for a
$1,000,000 building "to provide for
the growth of the school" which
began seven years ago with 29
students and next fall will have
250.
Warning of the dangers from
.- the temptations • that lead them
away from Jewish traditions, Rabbi
Rosenberg said that the 125,000
Jews on campuses — and the
25,000 professors—are secularists
who borrow from their environ-
ment "and will be problematic of
Jewish survival 25 or 30 years
hence."
Stating that "our future is in
grave doubt intellectually," Rab-
bi Rosenberg asked whether the
next generation will build Jew-
ish schools, "or will they turn
their backs on us," and he de-
clared that the problem is not
solved by calling conferences. .
The solution, he said, is in the
instrumentalities we create. "No
community will survive the ten-
sions of academic freedom if it
does not bolster the best in
Jewish education at an early
age," he asserted, warning that
"the Sunday school will no longer
• do, nor will a six or eight hour a
week Hebrew school." He thus
pleaded for expansion of the day
schools as the only solution to
a grave problem involving the
Jewish future.
"In day schools," he said, •"we
have the whole of the child and
we reach him on his level. It is
the whole child that has an intel-
lectual component of Jewish tra-
dition."
The opening prayerS, in. Hebrew
and in English, and greetings to
the gathering, were given by Hillel
students, David Bigman, Louis
Weckstein, Bobby Schostak, David
Reed and Aviya Schiff. The Birkat
Hamazon was led by students Jon-
athan Licht and Yvolle Selik, ac-
companied by a choir.
Star roles in "Fiddler on the
Roof" were by Mark Goldsmith
and Sue Ellen Kass.
There was a farewell tribute
to the retiring head master of
the school, Rabbi Emanuel Ap-
plebaum, who is leaving this
week with his family to settle
in Israel.
Berry, as chairman, opened the
meeting with greetings, with an
address explaining the school's
aims, and emphasized that the best
in both the American and Jewish
cultures are fused in the Hillel
curricula.
In appreciation of seven years
of consecutive services as caterers
at Hillel Day School dinners, Rabbi
Segal presented a citation to Rob-
ert Rosenberg for the Rosenberg
family.
. , A plaque also was presented. to.
Mr. Tulupman for Tom Borman-,
in appreciation of his services to
the school. Mr. Borman, taken ill,
left before the end of the program
and could not personally remain
to accept the citation.
Announcement was made that
Rabbi Simon Murciano will ar-
rive here next month to assume
the head mastership of the Hillel
school.
