Rabbi Leon Fram of Temple Beth-El, Detroit, was unanimously elected president of the newly organized Ohio-Michigan Jewish Education Association at the business meeting of the convention held at Temple Beth-El this afternoon. Rabbi Louis Witt of Dayton, Ohio, was elected vice-president, Miss Anna Oxenhandler of Detroit secretary, and David Weiss of Cincinnati treasurer.
Upon the invitation of Rabbi Witt, the city of Dayton was chosen as the scene of next year’s convention. The Jewish teachers of Indiana are expected to join the organization at the Dayton convention, thus making it a tri-state association.

Friedland of of the Cleveland Board of Jewish Education, who spoke on the value of teaching Hebrew even in the one day a week school. Mrs. Harry A.
