The Detroit chapter of Hadassah has selected Mrs. Abraham Srere to act as general chairman for the annual $35 donor luncheon, to be held this year on Dec. 9. Mrs. Henry Leavitt is to be vice-chairman of the committee. What is considered big news is the announcement by Detroit Hadassah that its first meeting of the year, on Wednesday evening, October 8, at Hotel Statler, will be addressed by Ossip Gabrilowitsch, world-famed pianist and conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
Mr. Gabrilowitsch has not affiliated himself with Jewish activities, and the only Jewish affairs he has attended were two dinners opening campaigns of the United Palestine Appeal. Mr. Gabrilowitsch recently made a tour of the Orient, and spent a number of weeks in Palestine. In his address before Hadassah he will speak of his experiences and impressions of Palestine. Mr. Gabrilowitsch was deeply impressed with the work of the Jewish settlers in Palestine.
