A native of Poland, Mr.
Lubavitcher Center Arranges
Circumcisions for Immigrants
The difficulties in trying
to lead a. full Jewish life in
Russia have left their mark
on Soviet Jewry. But among
many new immigrants the
spirit of "Yiddishkeit" has
not died—a fact stressed by
the local Lubavitch Center.
A spokesman said that in
recent weeks two Russian im-
migrant boys have undergone
circumcision, an a third is
scheduled with the assist-
ance of the Lubavitcher Cen-
ter.
Last week, a 3-year-old
boy was circumcised in a
Dearborn hispital, the serv-
ice performed at no charge
by Rabbi Shaiall Zachariash,
a mohel who is the rabbi of
Cong. Shomrey Emunah. Leib
Diogenes, who with his wife
has been instrumental in
welcoming Russian families
to Detroit, hosted a party
in honor of the occasion.
Rabbi Dovid Segal of the
Mrs. Sol Kesler's Shaarey Zedek Pioneering Role
"With outstretched hands
and trembling feet
We venture forth
Our God to meet . .
"Give us strength
and give us peace,
Let the worldly turmoil
cease."
Mildred Gerson wrote that
in 1937 for Cong. Shaarey
Zedek's fourth annual con-
secration ceremony.
Over the past 40 years,
hundreds of Mildreds have

the consistent quality and

Temple Ko Am
Ernst J. Conrad, Rabbi
Next Year in West Bloomfield
For some time now, the Birmingham Unitarian Church has served
as Temple Kol Ami's physical home. The relationship between the congre-
gations has remained remarkably warm—especially since the gracious
Unitarians had no idea we'd be around so long when our fledgling congre-
gation came seeking a "temporary" lodging place eight years ago.
From the outset, of course, there was the dream of Temple Kol Ami's
own home. As time passed and the congregation grew from fewer than 10
families to well over 100, a piece of land in West Bloomfield Township
was purchased. The little clapboard house that was on the land provided
' room for an office and a study of sorts for Rabbi Ernst Conrad, but that
was about all.
This spring, we broke ground at our property on Walnut Lake Road,
west of Farmington Road. And within a year, Temple Kol Ami will be in
its own fine new home.
The building will be modest by most standards—and that's precisely
the way we want it. It will be good looking and it will be functional and
it will be utilized to the fullest. But above all it will be modest both in
size (membership is limited to 300 families) and in concept.
Temple Kol Ami believes in monuments of spirit and deed rather
than of brick and mortar. We're convinced that such monuments are erected
by cultivating an appreciation of our Jewish heritage . . . by heeding the
principles of righteousness and brotherhood . . . by pursuing paths of in-
telligent social action . . . by instilling in our children a solid understanding
of the tenets of Judaism.
Our Sunday morning religious school activities (held at the Orchard
Lake 'Middle School) are designed to serve as the basic building blocks for
the latter goal. Kol Ami is a liberal, Reform temple and the school reflects
that philosophy. Amply mixed with such traditional and essential basics
as Hebrew studies and Jewish history are a stimulating array of electives
aimed at adding freshness and flexibility to the religious learning experience.
In addition to the Sunday morning sessions, Hebrew classes are held
on Wednesday afternoons for those boys and girls who choose to take them,
or who are planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
If you would like to know more about us, please call us at 851-5350
or 681-3988. We'd love to have you join us at one of the membership get-
togethers we'll be holding this summer.
