Student Life at Seminary
Topic of SZ Program
Attorney Marvin Rosen
will speak on his life as a
student at the Jewish
Theological Seminary at an
evening marking 65 years
of affiliation between Cong.
Shaarey Zedek and the sem-
inary 7:45 p.m. Wednesday
at the Morris Adler Hall.
Rosen received the degree
of Bachelor of Hebrew Lit-
erature at the seminary in
addition to BA, MBA and
JD degrees at Columbia
University.
Also speaking will be
Rabbi Allan Schranz, the
newly appointed assistant
to the chancellor of the sem-
inary. A movie about the li-
brary fire and the new li-
brary being built • will be
shown.
The highlight of the
evening will be the
recognition of all past
Mortgage burning by
synagogues is not too fre-
quent, yet, by the same to-
ken, not new. Shaarey
Zedek burned its mortgage
several years ago. Adat
Shalom aims for that oppor-
tunity in the very near fu-
ture. Other synagogues are
aiming for such removal of
financial burdens.
Nevertheless, the reach-
ing of a stage of wiping out
the congregation's debt by
Temple Beth El assumes
major significance.
As the first Detroit syna-
gogue and therefore the old-
est in the state of Michigan,
it is viewed here as an occa-
sion of interest by all Jewish
factions and becomes an
event gaining statewide at-
tention.
The mortgage-burning
ceremony will take place
at Temple Beth El's 132nd
annual meeting, 8 p.m.
Thursday at the Temple
on Telegraph and 14 Mile.
Marvin Goldman,
president of Temple Beth
El, expressed pride in the
fact that the final payment
Peggy M. Frank heads
the arrangements coin-.
mittee and a champagne
reception will follow.
The two Beth El
structures preceding the
current one are still within
the memory of many De-
troiters. The one located on
Woodward and Eliot func-
tioned from 1903 to 1922. It
was followed by the
structure on Woodward and
Gladstone, where religious
services and educational
and community events were
in action from 1922 until
1973, when the present
temple was dedicated.
Three earlier synagogues
are part of the Jewish
community's emergence
los
and its multiple activities.
The first synagogue, on
Congress and St. Antoine,
served the sommunity from
1850 to 1861. It was fol-
lowed by the temple on
Rivard Street, 1861 to 1867.
The temple on Washington
Boulevard was in service
from 1967 to 1903.
