Cong. Beth Jacob of Pontiac Mobilizes
Teachers, Welcomes New Members
Sherwin Birnkrant, president of
Congregation Beth Jacob of Pon-
tiac, announced this week that
plans are now being made, under
the leadership of the newly elected
spiritual leader, Rabbi Philip Berk-
owitz, to organize the religious
school, to foster an adult education
program and to mobilize the teach-
ing staff.
In preparation for the coming
school year at Beth Jacob, Birn-
krant said, membership has been
opened for new applicants.
Regular Friday night services
are being conducted at Beth Jacob
by Rabbi Berkowitz.
Applicants for membership are
asked to contact the temple any
week day.
Birnkrant pointed out that while
the vast majority of Beth Jacob
members are Pontiac residents,
the membership includes those
from a number of nearby commu-
nities, including Royal Oak, Troy,
Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills.
. Congregation Beth Jacob was
founded in 1923 by 12 Pontiac
residents, including Jacob Kovin-
sky, Birnkrant's grandfather.
father.

Lubavitch Emissaries Spread Tora Knowledge Here
A graduate and an undergrad-
uate student of the Lubavitch
yeshivot—Gimpel Hirsch, a senior
at the yeshiva in Newark, N. J.,
and Rabbi Abraham Blesofsky, a
post-graduate student in the Brook-
lyn Central Yeshiva—are in De-
troit as members of a worldwide
"Jewish peace corps" touring
group that is visiting more than
100 communities with messages
from the Lubavitch movement.
Meeting here with individuals,
rabbis, synagogue officials — in
groups and as individuals—the two
emissaries said their aim is "to
make Tora-true Jews."
'There is only one way of coun-
teracting assimilation and prevent-
ing intermarriage," Hirsch said,
"and that is by adhering to mitzvot,
by putting on tefilin, by the light-
ing of candles on Sabbath eve, by
assuring a Yeshiva education for
the children."
- Their aim, the two Lubavitch-
delegated visitors said, is "only to
spread knowledge." They said they
do not approach Jews as members
of a divided community—Orthodox,
Reform, Conservative — "not as
labeled Jews, but as plain Jews,
all alike."
"The main need among all is to
assure an increased observance of
the mitzvot," they emphasized.
They said that college students
are being interested in the Hasidic
movement and that the Lubavitch
aims are gaining ground. "There
is a summer course for 40 college
student now in progress in New
York under Lubavitch auspices,"
they said.
The Lubavitch guests hope to
meet with many Detroit Jews.
They can be reached in care of the
head of the local Lubavitch move-
ment, Rabbi Berl Shemtov, at the
Lubavitch Center Mishkan Israel
on Nine Mile Road.
Rabbi Blesofsky and Hirsch con-
sider themselves emissaries of the
Lubavitch Rebbe, Rabbi Menahem
Mendel Schneerson. The Lubavitch
movement sponsors the Central Or-
ganization for Jewish Education,
including the local Merkos L'Inyo-
nei Chinuch.
This year hundreds of commu-
nities will be visited in the United
States, Canada, Mexico and South
America.
The students travel in pairs and
upon return to New York will file
detailed reports to the Merkos
L'Inyonei Chinuch on their en-
counters.
