Purim Celebrations Set This Weekend
Celebrations and Purim go hand
in hand, and all children will be
able to celebrate the holiday this
weekend.
Among the schools and syna-
gogues scheduling the fun are the
following:
The Jewish Center will look like
Shushan, Persia, Sunday when
hundreds of Queen Esthers, Mor-
decais, Hamans and King Aha-
sueruses attend the annual Center
Purim Adolyada.
Swimmers dressed as Purim
characters will be in the center
pool, while groups of children fish
for them from the decks with
rubber-tipped rods. A bonus prize
will be awarded to whoever catches
the Haman-fish.
A booth-building project will be,
undertaken by center teen and
tween clubs, culminating in a
youth carnival 8 p.m. Saturday.
The evening will be topped off
with a Purim Ball, beginning at
10 p.m., sponsored by the TAB
social dance committee. There will
be live music and Purim refresh-
ments. A ticket admits members
and non-members to the 20-booth
carnival and the Purim Ball. Re-
freshments are free.
On Sunday, 2 to 4 p.m., the
Gan Israel Scholarships to 5 Schools
Vacation scholarships were presented to five Detroit Jewish
day schools at a recent meeting of the Camp Gan Israel Scholarship
Committee. Charles E. Feinberg (left), camping president, and
Isadore Starr (right), of the camp committee, presented the
scholarships to representatives of the parent-teachers associations
of the Beth Yehudah Schools, Akiva Day School, United Hebrew
Schools, Hillel Day School and Beth Jacob Schools. Pictured here
with Feinberg and Starr are (from left): Mrs. Joseph Spitzer of
Beth Yehudah and Beth Jacob PTA, Mrs. Wilfred Leon of Billet
PTA and Harold H. Lax of Akiva I'TA, Climax of the current
scholarship campaign of the camp will be a breakfast April 2 at
Imperial Caters, at which Prof. V. W. Green of the University
of Minnesota will speak on "A College Professor Looks at Chabad."
Goal of the campaign is the establishment of 100 scholarships,
according to chairman Leonard E. Baron. Co-chairman is Robert
Ruch; organizations chairmen, Harry Schumer and Max Sosin; and
