A rabbi who sees in his own
Beverly Hills community the mil-
lion-dollar edifices of an affluent
society told a Detroit audience
Wednesday evening that "for all
the great attainments we witness,
there is more intermarriage, more
Jewish illiteracy . . . more disin-
tegration in Jewish ranks than ever
before."
Dr. Simon Dolgin of Beth Jacob
Congregation, Beverly Hills, prom-
inent author and Orthodox leader,
addressed over 300 dinner guests
at the second anniversary celebra-
tion of Akiva Hebrew Day School
at Cong. Bnai David.
"Our youth looks for convic-
tion," Dr. Dolgin said. "Young
Jews protest, but their ideals are
momentary. If only they had the
Jewish principles by which to
judge life around them." He
added that if the United States
"had a firm ideology, we would
not have to go around from coun-
try to country apologizing for our
Vietnam policy."

LBJ Commends
Brotherhood Week
President Lyndon B. Johnson
urged Americans to "join with
the National Conference of Chris-
tians and Jews in working toward
the eradication of the sources of
discord which have turned brother
against brother and man against
his neighbor in a land resplendent
in the bounty of God's blessings."
The president cited, as the occasion
for his plea, this year's NCCJ Bro-
therhood Week observance, Feb.
20-27.
President Johnson, as U.S. Presi-
dents before him since Franklin
D. Roosevelt, is Brotherhood Week
honorary chairman.
V. J. Skutt, president and chair-
man of the board of Mutual of
Omaha, is Brotherhood Week chair-
man for 1966.
President Johnson expressed the
hope that "the humanitarian spirit
symbolic of this Brotherhood Week
enkindle in the hearts and minds
of all Americans a strong and en-
during endeavor to restore right-
eousness and human dignity to
those plagued by injustice and
bigotry and to bring to every citi-
zen of our land a lasting participa-
tion in the American dream."
The President pointed out that
"Brotherhood Week 1966 brings
with it for.all Americans a
poignant realization of our awe-
some moral responsibility to up-
root social and economic injustice
and a most timely reminder of our
unfinished tasks on the road to
the Great Society."
President Johnson called Bro-
therhood Week "a time of rededica-
tion to the venerated ideals which
gave birth to our land and which
inspired the founding of such pub-
lic-spirited groups as the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews."
"Beginning with the family and
local community," Mr. Jonhson
added, "we must together seek to
extend to every American the
human compassion and liberty of
opportunity which have been the
hallmark of America's greatness."
Mark Collins, publisher of the
Baltimore News American; John
Schneider, president of CBS Tele-
vion; and Robert F. Hurleigh,
president of Mutual Broadcasting
System, Inc., have joined Presi-
dent Johnson in promoting the na-
tion's Brotherhood Week cam-
paign. They have pledged an all-
out effort to bring the message
of Brotherhood to the nation via
their respective media.
Diplomats Seek Raise
JERUSALEM — Diplomats,
like other wage-earners, watch
the rising cost of living with
understandable anxiety. Foreign
diplomats stationed in Israel have
been urging their governments to
increase their cost-of-living allow-
ances as the price spiral continues.
The speaker pinned the hopes
of Jewry on schools such as Akiva,
which in two years has grown in
enrollment from 90 to 120 stu-
dents. "There are schools," he said,
"that teach modernity, but lose
their grip on eternity• there are
schools that teach eternity, but not
modernity. At Akiva I observed
the beautiful fusion of both: the
modernity to conquer outer space
and the eternity to conquer inner
space."
Dr. Dolgin, who spent the after-
noon touring Detroit's Jewish corn.
munal institutions, praised what he
saw. "We (Beverly Hills Jewry)
have yet to emulate such commu-
nity development," he said.
(One "underdeveloped a r e a"
that has been a constant source of
concern in traditional Jewish ranks
here took a turn with the an-
nouncement at the dinner by Rabbi
Hayim Donin that Imperial Cater-
ers will open a kosher restaurant
here Feb. 15. It will be open seven
days a week, he said, Friday night
and Saturday by reservation only.)
Rabbi Donin, spiritual leader of
Bnai David, who served as dinner
chairman, told supporters of the
school, "until the Jewish Welfare
Federation sees its way clear to
support day schools—and it may
not be far off—we must rely on
our friends."
The school cited one such
friend, a non-Jew, Clyde McWil-
liams, public relations man who
designed and printed at his own
expense a brochure on the day
school. An inscribed wristwatch
from Akiva was accepted for Mc-
Williams by Dr. Leon Herschfus,
a member of the Akiva board.
Ithamar Koenigsberg, Akiva pres-
ident, made the presentation.
McWilliams researched the back-
ground of the man for whom the
school was named, Rabbi Akiva, to
better bring out the meaning of
the school's goals.
Morris Novetsky, general chair-
man of the event, pointed out that
Rabbi Akiva was a "late starter":
"When Akiva began learning his
aleph-bet, his contemporaries were
already scholars," but his contribu-
tion to scholarship "carved for him
a place among the immortals." By
the same t o k e n, Novetsky said,
"our own Akiva Day School arrived
late, but took b o 1 d, courageous
steps to get the project under way."
Now holding classes in the Labor
Zionist Institute, Akiva will be
housed in its own building adjoin-
ing Young Israel Center of Oak-
Woods next September.
Rabbi Manfred Pick, principal
of the school, extended greetings
at the dinner. David Greenbaum,
Dr. Charles Levi and Rabbi James
I. Gordon also were on the pro-
gram, leading in the national an-
thems and grace. Humorist Emil
Cohen was entertainer, along with
