Leadership Training
If you were or are at present, a member of a youth group, you know the importance of a good leader to the group. For a capable adult leader helps train the youth of today for the adult of tomorrow. Nowhere but in a group experience, can a person learn to work with others, and depending on the type of leader in this group, the experience can be pleasant or distasteful.
The Jewish Community Center is interested in finding good capable adult leadership, and is organizing a training program.
It begins Wednesday evening, May 5th, at 7:30 p.m. continuing for four sessions, held on alternate Wednesday evenings. A leader’s job is not an easy one—it takes work and plenty of it. We recognize that your time is important—let’s use it to the best advantage to all. There is no greater “mitzvah” than to be able to help people. Our community needs your help. Here is your chance.

Children Back Fund Drive With Dimes
Southwestern Jewish Press March 19, 1954 Page 7
“ Please take my hand and come with me
There are some people you should see.
You can help them have happy times
Just by saving up your dimes.”
This is the rhyme that is being sung by the children of Beth Jacob Religious School, who, last Sunday, began their work on behalf of the 1954 Combined Jewish Appeal of the United Jewish Fund, according to Alan Mishne and Ronnie Greenberg, chairmen of the Young People’s Division.
Under the direction of Rabbi Baruch Stern, spiritual leader of the synagogue, each child in the religious school was given a children’s care to be filled with dimes and returned to the school for forwarding to Fund headquarters.
Any young people or young people’s organization wishing to use this material can receive it from the Fund office by calling Belmont 2-5172. Each dime card has room for twenty dimes as a contribution to the 42 organizations, institutions and agencies served by the United Jewish Fund.
