The Moses Montefore Hebrew In
stitute of Duluth is the leading Jew
ish Conservative institution in the
northern part Of the state. 1t repre-
sents the tendency in Judaism mani
fest of late, in the form of Jewish
Community Centres, a tendency that
looks for the solution of the Jewish
spiritual and social problem not ex-
clusively in synagogue or Hebrew
School, but in centre that embraces
all activities Of young and old-syna-
gogal, educational, and social. While
the Talmud Torah, or Hebrew
School is it's most conspicuous feature,
the Hebrew Institute also has all
the other features that entitle it to
place among the Jewish Community
Centres in the country.
The Institute owes much to two
people, who were among it's founders,
and who have since necessarily
worked for it's welfare and progress
Mr.. Joseph Polinsky, and Mrs. Ida
Cook. The Board Of Directors and
other active workers are: S. Mattel
son, Pres; A. Saxsonoff, Vice Pres;
Julius Garon, Treas; Monte A.
Greenblatt, &c.,; Joseph Polinsky,
Mrs. Ida Cook, l.. Fox, F. Labovitz,
B. Aarons, the late A. Fieldman, B.
Davidson, Mr.. Lindika, Mr.. Terrain,
H. Shapiro, H. Segal, Sam Mendel-
son and Mr.. Kaplan.
The activities and affiliated asso-
Citations of the Hebrew Institute are:
The Talmud Torah, Sunday School,
Friday Evening Services, Sunday
School Alumni, The Sisterhood,
Young Folks League, several chap
tiers of Young Judea and the "Du-
luth Jewish News" appearing at in
tervals as the official organ of the
Institute.
The Hebrew and Sunday Schools
have an attendance of about two
hundred and fifty (250) children. The
curriculum covers the Hebrew Pray
err Book, Hebrew, the Bible,. Religion
and Jewish history. instruction in
the Ivrith-B'Ivrith method is given
daily by three eachers-Messers
Braverman, Meckler and Kowel. I'm
der the supervision of the teachers,
the children in body, participate in
the Friday evening and Sabbath
morning services. At a recent pub
lie examination of the pupils, the fol-
lowing prizes were awarded: Mar
vim Goldstein, attendance; Edward
Lisman, scholarship; Sydney Green,
Sam Braverman, Morris Litman, and
Chas. Rubin. Twenty-Five other
prizes for various merits were given
to other pupils. The prizes were
contributed by members of the Board
of Directors, and Rabbi Lebendiger.
The Sunday School was organized
within the last year, with Mr. S.
Natelson as chairman Of the Sun
day School Committee. The teachers
are: Misses Alice Daneiko, Anna
Laskowitz, Sarah 'Polinsky, Anna
Winer, Lillian Harris, Bessie Litman,
Eva Passon and Helen Cook. The
pupils take an active part in the
Holiday celebrations, and many are
members of Young Judea Clubs. At
the recent graduation exercises of
the Sunday School, diplomas were
awarded to: Bessie Vertelney, Ida
Seiden, Dorothy Litman, Diana Kap-
Ian, Leona Cook and Helen Winer,
who have since organized as the Sun
day School Alumni with Miss Alice
Daneiko, their former teacher.
