"Bellefaire," Name Selected By Board For New Build¬ ings of Jewish Orphan Home
November Srd Is Date  Set for the
Formal Dedication of Institution,
Ineludine All Its Buildings
CLEVELAND, OHIO,—"Bellefaire" is the name ^selected by the board of- the Jewish Orphan Home at Cleveland for the group of new buildings in University Heights.
November third ts tlie date pet for the forni.-il dedication of the institution, in¬ cluding its beautiful new cottage build¬ ings, AUmini Hall,.Administration Build¬ ing, the chapel, and hospital.
Superintendent Sharlitt submitted his annual report which included not only a summary of work reccnfly accomplished, but a comprehensive 'survey of the his¬ tory of the institution since its establish¬ ment in 18G8.
Tlie board among other things ratified the organization of a Child Placement Committee which will coordinate all Jew¬ ish child placement activities in Cleve¬ land.
On Wednesday of this week the first group of children moved to the new Jew¬ ish Orphan Home to open an in-rtitute for' the training of the oldest children and the training of the new cottag*. mothers.
Tlic children selected for this .purpose were the older ones who will be distrib¬ uted over the cottages as leaders: Thesq older children have been in the habit of sharing in a responsible way in the work at th'e old Home and it was felt that a period of special training in connection with their new cottage tasks would be useful.
Staff Itlothcrs Arrive
The staff of cottage mothers arrived Wednesday morning and were received at the old bu'lding.s. Af'«r a preliminary welcome and dinner; the fifty, children .and the cottage mothers boarded a bus and moved to the new Home.
The grounds have not as yet been thoroughly graded and landscaipcd because of the incessant rain. Nevertheless, work will begin despite this handicap.
The usual smnmcr program for the children has been curtailed somewhat. Whereas in other years trips to camp and vacation visits out of town aud sum¬ mer schaol were the features of the summer, this year It. was possible to arrange for only about 125 children to .go to Camp Wise'',and forty-one older _ boys and girls to go to Scout Camps. A limited: number were permitted on vacation visits to friends out of town. All returned by the beginning of the current week in order to prepare for the great event of moving which is scheduled to take place for all of the'childrcn about August 1.
There are five double cottages at Belle¬ faire, .each, having a capacity of fifty. Bcllcfaire is located at Fairmount Boulevard and Belvoir road. The esti¬ mated cost of the project including land, buildings and ec|uipmcnt is almtt $l,oO0,- 000,
Bellefaire, the new name of the Or¬ phan Home site, was selected because the French words of which it is composed, suggest the thought of beautiful actions or deeds. Bellefaire wilt not replace the Cleveland Jewish Orphan Home as the official name of the institution but will be used in referring to the site, with its picturesque cottage group, campus and stretch of woodland. There will be about 285 children in the Home at its opening, August 1.
While the program for the dedication has not been completed, it is probable that the public program and inspection will take place Sunday afternoon, Novem¬ her 3, aiid that members of the B'nai B'rith Lodge will be in the ciiy as guesfs. The program will open with a benediction by one of the rabbis who is a member of the Jewish Orphan Home Alumni. All OfliccrH Reelected
All present officers of the Home were re-elected at the annual meeting Sunday. Fred Lazarus, Jr., of Colunibus, was reelected president; Benjamin J. Samuels, vice-president; Max E. Meisel, treasurer pf the sinking fundj Alfred A. Benesch, treasurer of /the general fund; Mrs. Stella Lazarus, secretary; Michael Sharlitt, superintendent; Jack Girig, as¬ sistant superintendent.

Changing Orthodox to Con¬ servative Synagogue Trust Breach Court Rules
Court of Appeals   Ulllinlds Orthodox Contention in Celebrated Cleve¬ land Jcwihih Center Cnsie
CLEVF.LANU, O.—The Court ot Appeals yesterday reversed tbc decision of Chief Ju'itice Ilonier G. Powell of tlie Common Pleas Court, when it granted an injunction again.st the Board of Trustee.'; of the C levcland Jewish Center and Kabbi Solomon Goldman, enjoining tlicm from the use of the synagogue as a: Conservative house of worship. The decision upholds the conti^ntion of the Orthodox members of the congregation that the synagogue was a trust, formed for Orthodox purposes, and that its trus¬ tees, without violating a trust, could not change the synagogue ritual from Ortho¬ dox to Conservative. The dccisioil that a breach of trust had occurred was unani. mously upheld by all three judges sitting on the case.
The defendants, who were pernutted to file an answer within two weeks, must stand trial' in the Court of Ap¬ peals this fall, or revert the synagogue to. its Orthodox status.
VV. K. Stanley, attorney for the de¬ fendants,. stated that he did not know what , further action would, be. taken. Rnbbi Goldman is no longer the spiritual leader of the Cleveland Jewish Center, now being with a Chicago congregation.
The decision was handed down by Judges Kent W. Hughes, Charles L. Justice, of tlie Third District Appellate Court, and Roy H. Williams of the Sixth District Appellate Court.
The casii, which has been two years in litigation; has attracted nation-wide interest. Plaintiffs in the suit were an Orthodox Committee of the cotigrcga- tion, headed by A. A. Katz, which pressed charges against Rabbi Solomon Goldman and trustees of the Cleveland Jewisli Center.
Formed as an Orthodox congregation, dissension jarosc amo!ng the members, when Rabbi Solomon Goldmiin, its spiritual leader, with the concurrence of members of. the board of trustees, changed the ritual to Conservative type of worship. The Orthodox members of the congregation charged that inasmuch as money had been raised for an Ortho¬ dox house of worship and th.e Constitu¬ tion so specified, the change from the Orthodox ritual was a violation of a trust.
In 1D28 when the case was brought to the Court of Common Pleas, Judge Powell decided the court had no jurisdic¬ tion over religious matters.

Melchett, Sainuel and Wise Eulogize Herzl At Me¬ morial Meeting
London Mcctinj? Largest Since IbbU- anco of Balfour Declaration—Zion¬ ist Founder DcHcrilwd by WiHC OB "Modem Messiah"
LONDON.—A large crowd, llic big- F^cst in ntimhcr since the cntliiisiastic Zioni.-il meetings held in the British capi¬ tal folluwing the i.sKuancc of. the UaUpur Dcctaratlun, attended the memorial meet¬ ing held here last night to murk the twciity-fifth anniversary of the death of Dr. Theodor Herzl, founder of ,polilica|l Zionism and of the Zionist World Or¬ ganisation. Lord Melchett, Sir Herbert Samuel, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and Nahum Sokolow \n\\i\ tribute to the memory of the late Zionist leader, who was de¬ scribed by Dt. Wise as a "modern Mes- .siah," Messages were read from JDr. Chaim Weizmann, who expressed his re¬ gret at his inability to be present to join iu the homage "to Ilerzl's immortal memory," and  from Nathan Straus.
Lord Melchett," who presided at the memorial meeting, paid tribute to Dr. ITerzl's slatcsmanqliip and leadership. "How. close is the wording of the Mail- date to the program outlined ;it the Basle Congrcisl" lie pointed out. "It is a sad refleclion that Herzl died at the: prema¬ ture age of forty-four."
A tremendous ovation was' accorded .Sir Herbert Samuel, former High Com¬ missioner of Palestine, when he rose to speak. "There is nothing in modern his¬ tory/' Sir Herbert declared, "that is more enthralling, more moving, more inspiring, than Ilerzl's life and the course of Pal¬ estine events \n the past few years which represent the triumt)h of a great idea." He lauded Hcrzl's vigor and sound in¬ stinct which enabled him to forcisec de¬ velopments. He pointed out, as a mat¬ ter of interest, that Herzl's scheme for Falesttne rehabilitation was first pub¬ lished in London. "Wliat would Herzl have said, twentylfive years ago, if he could have foreseen that, within a gen¬ eration, Palestine would be secured to the Jews by public law, and the founda¬ tion laid for an all-Jewish city, great in¬ dustries created, the Jordan harncqsf^d. twelve million pounds invested in the country, and the Hebrew language and culture revived? Would that Herzl had lived to witness the magic realization of these dreams," he declared. Samuel Calls Upon All to Aid Agency
What has already developed in Pales¬ tine, Sir Herbert stated, is only a be¬ ginning, with the future requiring tre¬ mendous, efforts and sacrifice. Financial contributions, he said, are the most facile of the gifts to Palestine, compared with the peril faced by fellow Jews against armed attacks in the ear^ier days of the Palcstiiie rehabilitation efforts. It was fitting, he stated, on this occasion to re¬ call the memor> of J'^-i.i*'i "irumpeldor and his companions. lie lauded the de¬ votion, idealismand the sacrifices of.the Jewish laborers, farmers and . factory workers who are the roots of the tree from which the blossom of the revived civilization in Palestine has sprung.
Sir. Herbert touched upon the;. Sev¬ enth Dominion idea, calling upon the ad¬ herents of this plan to work hand in hand with those who are forming the Jewish Agency. Without arguing the merit or demerit of, the Seventh Dominion idea, which, he said, for Jewish, British and international reasons has its opponents, "those who do agree to this idea can still agree virith the rest of us in creating a strong Jewish Agency."
He described Dr. Weizmann's invita¬ tion to all parties in Jewish life to join the Jewish Agency for Palestine work as a far-sighted and self-sacrificing renun¬ ciation, since it meant the voluntory re¬ nunciation of onc-haU of the seats on the Agency to representatives of a majority which has done little for the Palestine cause. Herzl One of the Few Epochal Men, Wise Says
Theodor . Herzl was hailed by Dr, Stephen Wise as "a modern Messiah, who achieved the most wondrous mir¬ acle of helping Israel to work out its own salvation.
"Thco<lor Hcrzy was one of the few men truly eiKichal," he declared. "He was epochal because he had dared to bid the Jew io he What, for nearly two mil- lenia he had not dared to be—to be him¬ self—a Jew. And as a result, his entire life was given to this cause and he suc¬ ceeded, though he never lived to see the rebuilding of the national home in Pal¬ estine.
"Before Herzl came, the Jews Imd faeen bo hurt by the world's ill will that many had deni^ their own Senihism. Such a denial is infmitely more provoca¬ tive than a courageous admission. But since Herzl's day, there are fewer Jew» concealing their Seinitisni. I wq$ the Ust comrade that Herzl talkicd with. lie was a worn and spent man. I aikeJ hini whether we could not free him from the (Continued on ^^^e 4>
