Interfaith Commission
on Sex, Marriage, Family
to Be Headed by Rabbi

NEW YORK (JTA)—A new in-
terreligious commission on sex,
marriage and family life h a s
Chosen a rabbi, a Catholic layman
and a Protestant minister for its
first slate of national officers, it
was announced at National Council
of Churches headquarters.
Chairman of the interfaith com-
mission on marriage and family
life is Rabbi Mordecai L. Brill,
chairman of the Synagogue Council
of America's committee on the
family. The commission has a
membership of 18 specialists ap-
pointed by the Synagogue Council
of America, the U.S. Catholic Con-
ference and the National Council
of Churches. Its purpose is the
formulation and promulgation of
common Piotestant-Catholic-Jewish
policy on "the complex problems
bound up in sexuality, marriage
and family life. We hear so much
about the differences between re-
ligious groups in this area that
we need to affirm the 90 per cent
of our stands on family life on
which we agree."

Hebrew Teachers Establish
Annual Education Citation;
Presentation at May 8 Fete

The Hebrew Teachers Associa-
tion announces the creation of an
Annual Jewish Education Award,
the first to be presented at the
second annual dinner to be held
May 8 at Cong. Bnai Moshe.
Philip Slomovitz and through
him The Jewish News will be
honored with the first citation.
In a statement explaining the
award, the association declares:
"The Association of He b re w
Teachers considers the inauguration
of the Jewish Education Citation
by educators as a necessary and
important link in the development
of Jewish education and the new
role of the teachers in its struc-
ture. The consciousness of such a
task will elicit positive thinking
and evaluation by teachers whose
daily involvement in the classroom
—the actual laboratory of Jewish
education—afford them the chal-
lenge and opportunity to share
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS with the community their view of
Friday, April 21, 1967-9 the results of various actions.
"The past two years have been
historic. The efforts and achieve-
ments of the Association of He-
For Some
brew Teachers in establishing a
of the
new relationship between the He-
best buys
brew teacher and the Jewish
community of Detroit are becoming

the
envy of Jewish communities

throughout the nation. The historic

document embodying the agree-
ment and code of practice between

ers and the United Hebrew Schools

has been requested and distrib-
FOR
uted to Jewish education bureaus
throughout the nation.
"However, all this will be mean-
ingless unless the teachers are

able to achieve the major pre-
requisite for Jewish educational
growth. The teacher is ready and
eager to involve himself in the

leaders to involv e themselves
thoroughly in the intricate web of
Jewish education. The Association
of Hebrew Teachers, in awarding
the J e wish Education Citation,
will always be guided by the im-
pact and degree of involvement of
the prospective recipients of such
a high and unique honor by Jew-
ish educators.
"Mr. Philip S I omo vitz, and
through him The Jewish News, has
been selected to be the first re-
cipient of the Jewish Education
Citation because of his deep in--
volvement and positive influence
upon the course of events in the
development of the new era in
Jewish education during the past
two years.
"Throughout the negotiations be-
tween the Association of Hebrew
Teachers and the United Hebrew
Schools and particularly during the
very stormy negotiations between
one congregation school's teachers
and its administration, Mr. Slom-
ovitz and The Jewish News served
as a restraining instrument. The
sounding-off opportunity that The
Jewish News afforded the parties
involved prevented the spreading
of these controversies into a city-
wide affair with untold conse-
quences. Mr. Slomovitz and
through him The Jewish News con-
fined the issues, and thus per-
mitted the parties involved, room
for concessions.
"Mr. Slomovitz and The Jewish
News t hr o ugh their weekly ac-
c o u n t s and commentaries have
succeeded to focus the attention of
the Jewish community upon the
vital role of Jewish education.
Hebrew education, and indeed the
entire Jewish community of De-
troit, are fortunate to have an
alert listening post such as Mr.
Slomovitz and The Jewish News,
that is objective but not aloof;
that prints what is fit but does
not attempt to fit what it prints;
that helps mold, and is molded by,
the events it witnesses; that serves
as a strong link to every world-
wide endeavor but is not irrevoc-
ably linked to it; that reflects the
sentiments of every segment in our
community and is tied to none.
"The selection of the first re-
cipient of a n e w 1 y established
award represents a particular chal-
lenge in that it establishes a
criterion. Mindful of this challenge
the Association of Hebrew Teach-
ers considers the selection of Mr.
Slomovitz as ideally meeting the
high qualities necessary for the
establishment of a standard for
such a high honor."
Morris Noble will be toastmaster
at the dinner and greetings will be
extended by George Zeltzer, pres-
ident of the United Hebrew
Schools; Robert Kasle, who was
chairman of the UHS personnel
committee which, with the teach-
ers, developed the new teachers'
code; Albert Elazar, superintend-,
ent of the Hebrew Schools; Dov
Parshan, president of the Shaarey
Zedek Teachers' Association; Men-
chem Glaser, president of the
UHS Teachers; and Rabbi Charles
Rosenzveig, general dinner
H.
chairman.
A statement issued by UHS
President Zeltzer urged educators
and those devoted to the cause of
Jewish education to attend the din-
ner.
Reservations for the May 8 din-
ner are being accepted by Mrs.
Louis Applebaum, secretary of the
association, 24310 Ithaca, Oak Park,

Long May It Wave!

Praise the Power that hath made
and preserved us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our
cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God
is our trust;"
And the star-spangled banner, 0
long may it wave
O'er the land of the free, and the
home of the brave.
—Francis Scott Key
