Fade, but Jewish Life Continues

tions, reports a representative
of the Lubavitcher Rebbe,
who recently returned- from
tho s e countries. He said

in Morocco are full of Jewish
children who left the Alli-
a n c e Israelite Universelle
schools when the latter were
forced to accept Arab chil-
dren.
The Lubavitcher yeshiva in
Casablanca has a special
school to teach the manufac-
ture of mezuzot and tefilin,
which are exported to Euro-
pean countries. In addition,
there is a school for shohetim
and teacher training college.
Rabbi Norodetzky said the
Jews of Meknes have moved
away from the old town and
now are spending 70,000,000
francs to build a new Talmud
Torah and mikva outside the
old town. But the population
continues to decline: Five to
six years ago, 400 children
were born each year; in
1973, only 155.

Jewish Education •
Budget Up in NYC
NEW YORK (JTA) -- An
additional appropriation of
$525,000 for the Board of
Jewish Education has been
approved by the Federation
of Jewish Philanthropies,
bringing to $1,655,735 the
total available to the BJE
for its programs during the
1973-74 school year, accord-
ing to Lawrence B. ,Hutten-
wieser, federaion president.
He said that of the $525,000,
$400,000 was allocated from
a Pr o g r a m Development
Fund for Jewish Education,
created in 1972 when a new
capital fund drive was ini-
tiated and administered by
the BJE. He said the $400,-
000 was "to cover upgrading
and extension of physical fa-
cilities of schools and direct
scholarship grants," and the
balance of the additional
grant of $125,000 represented
an increase of 11 per cent of
the regular grants for the
BJE's services to the more
than 700 Jewish schools of
the city.
Dramatic Story of Civil Rights Lawyer
In his 43 years of prac-
ticing law, Chicagoan Elmer
Gertz tackled many im-
portant issues and confronted
many challenges in famous
law suits.
Among the most notable
law suits in which he was
involved was his plea for
Nathan Leopold whose re-
lease he secured from prison
where he served for 34 years
for the murder of Bobby
Frank.
Gertz tells his story, as a
defender of civil rights and
as an activist in Jewish
causes in "To Life" (Mc-
Graw Hill). This life was one
of struggle. It began in the
Bnai Brith orphanage in
Cleveland for himself and
his younger brother. It
marked courageous efforls to
overcome obstacles. It was
out of such a beginning that
a dedication to highest
human values developed in
the dedicated lawyer.
From the Cleveland Jewish
Orphan Home, under the
direction of Dr. Simon
Peiser, he went to the Chi-
cago Jewish Orphan Home.
His education included He-
brew knowledge. The back-
ground is recalled by Gertz
with great respect.
Many hum an interest
stories relate to the career
.of Elmer Gertz. He had in-
teresting dealings with Rob-
ert J. McCormick of the Chi-
cago Tribune. He befriended
Arthur J. Goldberg, Bennett
Cerf, Ludwig Lewisohn and
many others in his early
years of association with the
newsmen and writers. He
was politically alert and ac-
tive in Union for Democratic
Action, predecessor of ADA.
Interesting accounts are
given of his roles in Ameri-
story about a very active
and successful self-made
can Jewish Congress, Law-
yers Guild and the Decalogue
Society of Lawyers. In these
ranks, he helped fight what

N.Y. Jewish Poor
had developed in earlier
years as a prejudice against
Jews from judges and the
Bar.
In the course of his activi-
ties for the American Jewish
Congress, he befriended
Stephen S. Wise, his daugh-
ter Judge Justine Wise
Polier and her husband,
Shad Polier.
In later years he was in-
volved in many of the most
famous law suits. Clarence
Darrow was among the
famous men with whom he
had legal contacts.
His pride is in having been
honored with the State of
Israel Prime Minister's
Medal in 1972.
