Isadore W. Garek, a product of Schonthal Center, prominent B'nal B'rith figure, and for many years a leader in the local •lewLsh community, .was elected president of the New Jewish Center last week. His selection was made at a meeting of the official body of that organization, Thursday, Dec. 0, at the Ex¬ celsior CluW^
He succeeds Samuel N. Summer, who conducted the highly-' successful drive for the new Center building several years ago. The latter had to relinquish his leadership recently in this and other civic interests, due to illness.
The appointment of Mr. Garek was made after considerable study by a nominating committee, headed by Harry Gilbert.
Realizing that this high office was not so mfich a privilege— but a responsibility—the committee felt that Mr. Garek was the man who would best serve the future J.ewish Center program. The Columbus Jewish community,- stated the committee, has been en¬ riched by the organizations which Mr. Garek so appropriately and admirably headed, namely; B'nai B'rith (local and District), United Jewish Fund, Hlllel Commission, etc. Indefatigable In his labors for every cause, Mr. Garek has truly been a stalwart and sacrificial servant of God and man.
Other officers chosen  at last  week's  important meeting  m-
oliided Dr. E. J. Gordon, honorary president of the new Center; Rudolph Kiemperer and Joseph Summer, vice-presidents; Jack S. Resier, treas. and Win. \Va.sserStrom, sec'y.
Other hlghliglus of the meeting included:
(I) The po»Hll)lll(.v of hicaklnp ground for llip new Center hiilldlng In 1»4I). A special committee is to he appointed shortly to prepare plans and specifications for the structure.
2) Serious consideration was given lo the inclusion of (he Columbus Hebrew School in the building plans. The following resolution was.adopted: "The Center Board looks with favor on the inclusion of the Hebrew School of Columbus in the New Jewish ¦ Center, on a basis that will not conflict with the paramount ob¬ jectives of a Center program; and requests that the Columbus Hebrew School .submit to the Center Board Its maximum require¬ ments in the propo.sed new Center building—with reference to the amount of space required and the hours the facilities will be used."
:i) A unanimous vote of Ihank.s ot the entire Board was ex¬ tended lo the retiring president, Samuel Stunmer, for his outstand¬ ing contribution to the success of the new Center building cam¬ paign. '•
