GREATER MUSKEGON
Special Board Meeting
Occidental Hotel Bronze Room
April 20, 1948
A special board meeting of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon
was held in the Bronze Room of the Occidental Hotel on April 20, 1948. The
meeting was called to order by chairman Harry S. Berman at 8:45 P.M.
The following officers were present:

Harry A. Fisher, vice-president;

Sam Lipnan, treasurer; Morris Teles, secretary.

Trustees present included the following:
Mrs. Harry H. Berman, and Francis Fine.

Samuel Klayf, ~ed Newman;

Consultant Trustees present were Max Rosenberg and Fred Stein.
Mrs. Isaac Grossman was our special guest.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
The treasurer reported total pledges for the current fiscal year of
$74,000 of which $35,000 had been collected.
It was pointed out that many members of the community had not been contacted for pledges.
When Mr. Lipnan conplained that meetings had been too irregular, the chair
pointed out that he had been asked to avoid interference with the building fund
solicitations.
The chair read a letter from our vice-president, HaITy A. Fisher, in
which the latter, upon advice of his physician, tendered his resignation.
The board was unwilling to accept the resignation, and agreed to postpone action on the matter.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted
Morris Teles, secretary

The motion was seconded by Carl Steindler.

There was con-

siderable discussion concerning this motion , because of the fact that
it was rightfully an obligation of Abraham Rosen Lodge.

The only

reason that a request was made that this organization pay this amount
was because the finances of the Lodge would not permit same , and
members of the Lodge would not understand the additional collections
in view of the - fact that United Jewish Charities was attempting to
unify all fund raising in this community.

In order to prevent any

additional fund raising by individual organizations, the Board believed that the United Jewish Cha.rities should pay this sum.

tion was carried.

Please make every effort to attend.
Respectfully,

Dr. Telles spoke briefly about the radio recordings that
were available through the Zionists Organization of America that

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING
of the
UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES
Held September 12, 1945,
in the Bal 1 Room of the
Occidental Hotel,
Muskegon, Michigan
A precedent was set at this annual meeting in that the women
as well as the men were invited to the dinner, and the meeting.following.

At the conclusion of the dinner, the meeting was called to

order at 8:00 p.m.

Chairman Paul Wiener was introduced by the

secretary, Morton L. Wolte, who _laud~d Kr • .Wi~ner 'e ,w ieelfie~ _

\

.

devot_ion to all Jewish causes, and who emphasized th,e :tact that much
o~ th~ succe~s of Muskegon's Je,wry in recent years has been due to

L

the unselfish efforts of our Chairman, Kr. Paul Wien~r.
Kr. Wiener, after giving a short resume of the functi.ons of

the organization, at the same time reminded the membership that the
success was not accomplished without the whole-hearted wiited cooperation of the entire community.

He then introduced Rabbi Satlow, who

in tum introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. B. Benedict Glaser,
Rabbi of Temple Beth El, Detroit.
Dr. Glaser's address was both inspiring and educational, and
although he spoke for a full hour, his audience listened attentively
and thoroughly enjoyed his every utterance.

After renewing the fact

that only a small fraction of the Jewish Community still exists in
Europe, he stressed the fact that this group not only needs and looks
to assistance from American Jewry, but it cannot survive unless this
aid is forthcoming.

He also spoke as to the attitude the Jews in

America should display in regards to matters politic.

He emphasized

�that we, as Americans and Jews, will never be safe from bigotry,
Nazism, and all of the other horrors against which this war was
fought, unless the democratic processes are made to live.

It is

only by making these democratic processes live that Anti-Semitism
and all racial bigotry can be minimized.
Dr. Glaser's address was followed by an appeal for contributions for the 1945-46 United Jewish Charities Campaign.

Chairman

Paul Wiener invited the ladies to participate in the contributions.
103 members were present and pledged 118,252.00.
An election was then held for officers and members of the
Board of Trustees to serve for the ensuing year.

The following

officers were elected:
Ohairman:

llr. Paul K. Wiener was unanimously re-elected by

acclamation for the sixth consecutive year.

The following men were elected to the Board of Trustees:

Mr. Harry A. Fisher
Mr. Jack Lawson
Kr. Leos. Rosen

Kr. Abe Ashendorf
Kr. Samuel G. nayf

During the entire evening the group was entertained by vocal
renditions by Eileen Gudelsky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Gudelsky,
Ur. and Mrs. Joe Singer and daughter from Hart, Michigan, aswell as
Mrs. Harriet Talbot and Mrs. Leo Rose.

They were accompanied by Mrs.

Tony Aron.

Acting Secretary.

P.s. At the writing of these minutes, I am concluding fi-ve years as
Secretary of the Organization, therefore I am taking the privilege
of writing a departing message. I was happy to have bad the opportunity to have served the great humanitarian causes represented in
tre allocations hereinbefore set out. As a result of my small participation, I have derived tremendous benefits that cannot be measured in
dollars and cents. My entire perspective in human endeavor and better
appreciation of the true values of life are only a fiew of the positive
results. It goes without saying tbat I have enjoyed to no small degree
the personal friendships that have been made with the various members
of the Board during their respective years of service. It is my
fervent hope tbat those that are capable of leadership will continue
to bear the responsibility of leading, because if those who have the
ability to lead refuse to take up this responsibility, all that has
been gained thus far will slip away into oblivion. In conclusion,
may I say - thanks loads for allowing me to participate in your work.
Sincerely,

Guests: Harold Silverman and Morris Teles , secretary pro-tern.
The acting secretary read the minutes of the meeting of September 4, 1946. He then suggested a correction, An allocation to

to the Zionist Emergency Council. The correction was accepted and
recorded, and the minutes were approved after a motion by Klayf,
seconded by Rosen.
A clause in a motion made at that meeting was discussed by Paul
'.Viener, namely, 11 • • • that 1uture membership in the Council of Jewish
Welfare Federation be held in abeyance until new officers for the
U.J .c. for the year 1946-h? are organized. "

Mr . Wiener explained that the Council asked for

1%of

the entire

the United Jewish Appeal should be excepted . The opinion was shared
by t he others present, but action was deferred .

was unanimous.
The chairman asked permission to appoint another ten trustees
to assist him and the board in its work. It was pointed out that
the by-laws of the organization does not permit the appointment
by the chairman and the board of any additional trustees. It

local charity boards. The Council investigates the nature of the
organizations which make charitable requests of local federations.
The needs of these organizations, their budgets, their purposes,
etc., are studied by the Council and these results are made
available to the individual communities. This information is
necessary in order to make reasonable and equitable allocations.
Mr. Avrunim pointed out specific instances of disproportionate
allocations made because of a dearth of statistical information.
Mr. Avrunim also made remarks concerning the relationship of
local to national organizations, and recommended greater autonomy
for local federations. He lamented the mushroom growth of civic

organizations which raise money for operitional expenses, and use
these funds for capital expenditures. He recommended the establishment of inter-community cultural groups to facilitate the procurement of qualified Jewish lecturers and entertainers for the small
towns and cities. He closed by urging us to send delegates to the
National Convention to be held in Atlantic City on January 31st.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
UNITED JEV/ISH CHARITIES
SPECIAL MEETING
Held January 22, 1947 at
the Occidental Hotel,
Muskegon, Michigan

A special meeting of the United Jewish Charities of Greater
Muskegon was held at the Occidental Hotel on January 22, 1947.
In the absence of chairman J.M. Kaufman, vice-chairman Harry
s. Berman presided .
The treasurer, Sam Lipman, and the secretary, Morris Teles
were also present.
Trustees· present included Rabbi L. Satlow, Abe Ashendorf,

L...

The meeting was called to order at 8:30 and the minutes of

chairman J.M. Kaufman addressed to the United Jewish Appeal.
The letter informed the U.J.A. of this community'sftnancial
burden in its attempt to build a house of worship . Mr. Kaui'man
pointed out that the building project had been delayed by the
war, and that its faciliti9s were desperately needed to fill the
needs of the community. He explained the financial demands made
upon Muskegon Jewry and the latter's limitations in meeting these
demands. He conjectured that for the year 1947-S we would be
unable to approach our accomplishments of 1946-47, and asked that
we be assigned a quota not in excess of $15,000.
After much discussion in favor for and against the views
expressed in the letter, Sam Lipman suggested that Mr . Kaufman's
recommendations be adopted. It was decided that H. s. Berman,

unnecessary detail.

or ganization . Mr . Milton Kosen and Mrs . Marcia Cohen repr esented the U. J . A.

capacity and obligations with respect to our building progra~,
our communal activities, and to the u. J . A. He pointed out
the importance of completing our building program to assure
the continuance and development of a virile community .
The well-integrated com~unity could afford constant contributions to U. J . A., and we must not allow our resources to be
disspated . The morale of the community is at stage in
protecting the building program. Nevertheless , Mr . Rosen
concluded, we should be happy to accept a reasonable cuota

Fred Stein asked Mr. Kosen if the forthcoming drive would
be the last great campaign. Mr. Kosen answered that we cannot anticipate history. U. J. A. leaders had hoped that the
85,000 D. P. 1 s in Europe would be resettled in 1946. Instead,
their members enlarged to 250,000, immigration to Palestine
and elsewhere was restricted, resettlement in the lands of
their origin was obstructed by politics and war-born antisemitism. Furthermore, the American dollar had become devaluated, opportunities of procuring Army surplus at reduced
prices had disappeared, U.N.N.R.A. was dead, and I.R.O.
remained in existence only on pa,er. The need is at uresent
for more than the $170,000,000 asked. $400,000,000 could be
used.
Some of those present exoressed the belief that their
individual contributions to the forthcoming camoaign ·~ould
be less than last year. They had, they said, extended themselves beyond their capacities last year on the promise that
last year's campaign would be the last great one.
It was oointed out that had some 250,000 Jews sill alive
in Europe, died last year our problem would have been simnler,
the demands on us smaller. Should we comJlain that we still
have the opportunity of aiding these brothers?
Mrs. Cohen gave a brief and informal talk. She questioned
that anyone would be deprived of the necessities of life by
increasing their contributions. She reminded the audience
that during the war years of 1941-45, our conrnunities prospered financially and made no contributions to save European
Jewry bec~use they could not. After a free ride of five years,
she damanded, it is time to pay.
Motions and amenQ~ents were made to assume various definite
quotas. When these were all defeated the following mot;_on
by Harry S. Berman (who had yielded the chair to Leo Rosen)
carried:
That the United Jewish C'1.arities of Gre'lter Muskegon exert
every effort to attain the highest nossible goal, and that
all names collected in excess of $10,000 be allocated to the
United Jewish Apneal."

�J.. MESSAGE FJ

CHAIRMAN OF Tl

The success of organized community charities and
philanthropies to a great ex tent depends on th e
sympathy, generos ity and ability of its leaders.
The United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon
face d its g reatest challenge last year when it had
to raise more funds than at any time before in its
history and still not interfere with th e fund -ra ising
for our Temple.
This challenge was accepted by the able and energeti c H ar ry S. Berm an. Through his able leadership and devoti on to th e cause, a new goal was
attained .
To you, Harry S. Berman, the community acknowledges a debt of gratitude and appreciation for an
assignment well done.

A MESSAGE FROM THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE U. J . C.

It was indeed an honor and pr ivilege to
have been singled out by this community to
head the U.J . C. drive in the past year.
I say it was an honor because the community by electing me f or the task, showed its
trust, confidence and faith in my ability to
fulfill my assignment .
The reason I deem it a privilege is because not everyone is privileged to live in a
country such as ours where there is not only
opportunity for its citizens t o live in peace
but where man can extend a helping hand to his
fellow man, deprived of similar privileges and'
opportunities .
Muskegon Jewry deserves credit for its
generous gifts to the U.J. C. in past years •
Our giving made it poss ible for our brethren
to fight heroically and emerge victoriously.

The fight unfortunately is still on, and
so our giving must not diminish this year. As
a matter of fact, we must give more generously
now than ever before.
For while the doors of
every land are practically closed to our warafflicted brethren still languishing in concentration camps, the State of Israeli has its
friendly hand stretched out to talce them in,
and give them a home in which they can live in
freedom and enjoy a sense of dignity experienced by no other Jew anywhere on the globe.

UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES
OF GREATER MUSKEGON
1946-1 947

•

J. M. KAUFMAN
Chairmo r,

�THE FA TE OF A COMMUNITY is, in a great measure
determined by the efforts of individuals willing and capable of leadership in organizational work.

It has been

Muskegon Jewry's good fortune to find that leadership
when the need has been the greatest.
For many years the leadership of this community has enjoyed the backing and support of self-effacing

J. M.

Kauf-

man, and last year when the needs of the United Jewish
Appeal reached unprecedented proportions, this goodnatured executive assumed the responsibility of surpassing the goal set for us.

In effort, sacrifice and devotion,

our esteemed friend knew no limits and his inability ro
serve further in this capacity due to physical limitations is
a source of great disappointment to him and to us.
Only those who have worked intimately with Kelly can
appreciate the great burden of gratitude that this community will always owe him .
-DR. MORRIS TELES, Secretary.

�A MESSAGE FROM YOUR ACTING CHAIRMAN

It is my pleasure on behalf of the officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon, to present, herewith,
the annual report of receipts, expenditures
and allocations for the fiscal year.
This affords me the opportunity to thank
my officers and trustees, as well as so many
of my friends who gave so generously of their
time and effort through the many meetings in
order that our goal may be accomplished.
My
sincere thanks to all of you.
This report of the -United Jewish Charities ends seven years of remarkable progress.
The money that has been so graciously contributed by you has not been charity, but a human
treatment of a people who are struggling to
regain their just place as h:uman beings-struggling against staggering odds, after the
most ghastly and -most devastating horror to
which whole people have ever been subjected!
Our community can be proud of the start
that has been made. A start toward real solution by means of rehabilitation and resettlement.
But a start alone is not enoughl HEU&gt;
US FINISH THE JOB -- WILL YOU?

(continued on next page)

�MESSAGE

(continued)

The cash balance on hand, as indicated by
these exhibits, is being disbursed immediately.
In past years your trustees have seen fit to
advance as a loan, $4500.00 to the Mona View
Cemetery Association.
During the fiscal year
concluded, $1200.00 was advanced, resulting in
a total of $5700 . 00 loaned to the Association.

I sincerely trust that you will again
extend your whole-hearted support and cooperation for the urgent needs that
confront
Muskegon's Jewry.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY S. BERMAN

Acting Chairman

Your office rs and trustees of t
Muskegon present herewith the ann
31st, 1946.
In recent years, the Jewish Community of M uskegon
has made remarkable strides in the establishment and development of religious, national, social and philanthropic organizations. The success of this small but well knit cominunity has been out of all proportion to the size of its
membership. Its record is nationally outstanding.
In a great measure the progress of this group has been
due to the excellent leadership provided by a few talented
and devoted workers, to whose unselfish contributions of
time and effort the community has been ever ready to off er
its cooperation and support.

The accomplishment of the United Jewish Charities of
Greater M uskegon evoke high praise among local and
national Jewry. To the outstanding executive ability of our
tireless leader, Paul )11/iener, this community acknowledges
a debt of gratitude and appreciation. His constancy of devotion to the United Jewish Charities, his altruistic sacrifice
of other pressing interests to the cause of charity, has gained
him a place of esteem and admiration in the community. To
Paul Wiener, and to the efforts and the successes of his
leadership, we offer our thanks and applause.

All requests for relief and assistance were equitably treated. A loan of
$2,000.00 was made to the Congregation B'nai Israel, and President Sam

of $500.00 was made to the Mona View Jewish Cemetery Association in
order for them to meet contract obligations with the City of Muskegon

Cemetery Association which is to be repaid to United Jewish Charities.
The Lake District Resettlement Organization was dissolved and th e
cash balance of $403 .84 was transferred to our account.
The sum of $678.5 0 which was loaned to Mr. and Mrs. Max Schumacher
by Lake Di stri ct Resettlement Service was re-paid in full and deposited to
the credit of United Jewish Charities. Cong ratulations, Mr. and Mrs.
Schumacher.
With this report the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon is
ending six years of notable service in behalf of our suffering people in
Europe and our own national and local institution s. I, also, am completing
six years of service as founder and chairman of this organization and I am
indeed happy and pleased for having had th e privilege of serv ing our community and people.
The Jewi sh Community of Greater Musk ego n is challenged tod ay as

its quota.
Sincerely yours,

�A Message From Your Chairman

•

On behalf of the officers and trustees I am submitting a report of your United
.Jewish Charities for the year 1943-1944.
During 1943 greater demands were made on this community for increased financial assistance from overseas, national and local institutions and agencies. Our
community accepted the challenge and raised $ 14,065.00, or an increase of 156 %
over the previous year. Thus you have made it possible for Muskegon to be known
nationall y as one of the most philanthropic communities on a per capita basis.
Your attention is called to Schedule A-1 which shows allocations to thirty-six
institutions and agencies. This is seven more than we contributed to last year. W'e
also increased and in some cases doubled the allocations over what we gave last year
to the same recipients.
An allocation of $250.00 was sent to the Hebrew University of Palestine with
instructions that this sum be awarded in the name of the Muskegon Jewish Community as an a nnual scholarship to a worthy refugee student in agriculture. We
will be advised of the student's name and background when the award is made.
This is a magnificent expression of generosity on the part of this community.
We are now forming a Cemetery Association to b e known as Mona View
H ebrew Cemetery Association, with Milton Steincller as its temporary chairman
until an election is held and by-laws are adopted. In the meantime we are negotiating
with the City of Muskegon H eights for the purchase of approximately $20,000.00
worth of lots to be paid for within ten years. Your board vot~d a $2,000.00 loan to
the Cemetery Association with instructions that said loan be used as a down payment towards the purchase of the lots. It might be necessary in the future years to
advance additional funds to maintain the contract with the City of Muskegon
Heights, but eventually as the lots are sold the monies advanced will be repaid to
the United Jewish Charities.
It has been a so urce of pleas ure to work with each a nd every one of you. Your
whole-hearted sacrifice and cooperation h as kept us united in the past and it also
assures a united, bright future.
Sincerely yours,
Paul M. Wiener
Chairman.

Dear M om:
It's h ard to begin to write abou t Dael, b ecause there is so much to say. People's reaction wh en th ey fi rs t m et h im was, h ow alive h e is! h ow li ve ly! Dad Ji ved
the fullest kin d of life, full of t he kin d o f activity h e beli eved in . M oney was of
no consequence to him, a nd the strivings of so m a n y oth er profess iona l men fo r
publicity and glo r y fi lled him with disdain . alth o h e h ad n eith er fal se pride n or
false m od es ty. His idea of li fe was a life of acti vity in a nd for a group ; his J ews;
his fa mil y; his community; his coun tr y. I remember h ow on Yorn Kippur h e used
to emphasize Isaiah 's r inging dem a nd : " Tha t thou hide not thyself from thine
own flesh!"
T o him the urge to organize his fell owmen to p erform useful and sacred
du ties was irres istibl e. He brough t children togeth er into reli gious study; h e
b rou gh t their p aren ts to synagogu e and to Zionist work ; h e reached o ut into the
gen eral communi ty to fin d m ore groups wh ere h e could ex pound and expl a in and
teach and exh ort.
I remem ber som e of his favor ite verses: " ' l\lorship th e Lord in the beau ty of
holin ess." " Purify you rselves, ye bearers o f the vessels of th e Lord ." His mos t successful h ymn was ca lled the J oy of W orship. You can see h ow h e associated puri ty
a nd b eauty a nd holi ness with reli gious worship, whi ch was of cou rse group worship .
Pro babl y i t is n ot ch a nce th at durin g his las t clays in the h os pital, when h e surely
knew hi s clays were numbe red, h e chose to read a book on "The Socia l Origins of
Greek R eli gion ." T h e thes is of this book is that th e m ost eleva ted religi o us concepts h ave th eir roo ts in th e ordin a r y ever y-clay acti vities of a primi tive community (and n ot, therefore, in th e soli tary med ita ti ons of a h e rmi t) . Out of the struggles
to grow food an d catch gam e, to grow in to ma nhood and r aise a famil y, to res ist
or cajole n atural forces, there grow ideas of Goel, salvation, hum a n brotherhood ,
a nd immortality. So th e li fe of the gro up is the so u rce of h oly things.
Not that D ad h ad a n y illusions abo u t his J ew~. But h e must always ha ve fe lt
th a t in spite of ignorance, indifferen ce, a nd smugness, there was al ways h ope. H e
used to say (I forget th e exact words): " .Jud aism h as fa ith in th e infinite improvability of m a n. " .Judaism , a nd Aaron C oh en, too. From the time wh en, at the
age of fi ftee n, h e a te moldy bread in orde r to bu y Zi onist pa mphle ts; a nd no t long
a fte r that, braved th e spy ing of the I mperi a l Russ ia n secret po li ce to parti cipate
in illega l Zionist m eetings; for fi fty years h e labored fo r .Juda ism a nd fo r Zion,
talking, w ri ting, teaching, organizing, creatin g poetry a nd song, leading prayer.
Great fai tq , indeed, in th e infini te improva bili ty of his fellow man.
W ell , th ere are many oth er things to remember a nd I'm sure they' ll come back
to me . I remember th at h e was n ever afra id a nd never unkind, a nd tha t h e h a ted
ignorance a nd cruel ty more th a n a n ything else in the uni verse, a nd tha t indi ffe re nce
to human su fferin g h u rt him more than an y physcial pain h e ever felt. Writing of
the m assacres of th e Polish a nd Russ ia n J ews b y the Nazis, he said "The h orror is
that there is n o horror." And I'm su re yo u rem ember well, M om , how when Hitler
cam e to power, he su ffered every clay with th e Germa n J ews. A nd in his las t clays,
wh en fl owers and messages of ch eer po ured in to fill his room to overfl owing, h e
said, "Thousands of young men are d yin g everyd ay, a nd they m ake all this fuss
ab out one man ."
W ell , there a re p leasanter thin gs to remember, too. H e loved to laugh a nd joke,
to sing, to write p lays an d p oem s, to walk, to find somethin g and som eone new
every d ay, to be with children . H is life was rich and full , a nd ou r li ves h ave been
rich er a nd full er because we were so close to him. H e left us when h e was sti ll in
his you th , b ecause h e never grew old .
M uch m u ch love, ·

RESPONSIVE READING
Leader;
Cong:

I rejoiced when they said unto me;
Let us go into the house of the Lord.
Lord, I love the habitation of Thy house.,
And the place where Thy glory dwelleth.
I love Thee, 0 Lord., my strength,
My shield and my hem of salvation, my high tower.
One thing have I asked of the Lord;
That will I see after:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life.
To behold the graciousness of the Lord.
And to visit ear)Jr in His Temple.
0 Lord., my God., I will give thanks unto thee forever•
I will sing, Yea., I will sing praises unto the Lord.
We have meditated on Thy lovingkindness., 0 Lord,
In the courts of the Temple.
I will fill this house with My glory.,
And in this pl.ace will I give peace.
I will now say; Peace be within Thee.,
Peace be within Thy walls.
For the sake of the House of the Lord, our God.,
I will seek Thy good.
Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting
Amen.

Barechu Et Adonai Ha-M 1Vorach
Praise Ye the Lord to whom all praise is due.

THE PLEDGE

Leader:
Cong:

And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, God of their
fathers w.i.th all their heart, and with all their soul.
In like manner are we gathered to renew our covenant as a
Congregation in Israel.
What common experience leads us into spiritual fellowship w.i.th God
and one anotheri
Acknowledging the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as our God,
we have established this Congregation as the Symbol and Center
of our corporate life as Jews. Even as God made His cover.ant
first with Abraham, so do we invoke His divine aid in this
enterprise, undertaken in His name.
By what pledge do we seal this covenant?
By the same pledge as did our forefathers at Sinai., making our
children surety for the sincerity of our hearts and minds. We
are organized to insure that they shall find here a well from
which they may draw inspiration for their daily life.
What are some of the privileges and duties in this, our Congregation?
With this aim, we engage to strive together for the advancement
of our body in knowledge of our God and of His Holy Torah; to
transmit such understanding as we gain to those who shall later
join our ranks; to sustain the ordinances and commandments,
disciplines and doctrines of Historical Judaism and to worship
God after the dictates of our Rabbis and sages.
What duties do we gladly undertake as stewards of that \,nich God
has entrusted to us?
To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the
synagogue edifice which houses our Congregation, and to maintain
its devotional, educational, and recreational facilities as God
will give us the strength and means to establish them.
For the sake of our home and loved ones, what tasks do we prayerfully
assume?
We undertake to maintain regular hours of service; to educate
our children in the religious way of life; to seek the good of
all whom our influence shall reach; to maintain the bands of
union with the whole household of Israel; to ask after the peace
of Jerusalem by working for the upbu.ild.ing of Zion.
For the sake of our brethren who are scattered all over the world,
how shall we govern ourselves?
We agree to remember that we are part of a greater Congregation
of Israel and therefore we will recognize in deed as well as
word, the principle that all Jews are responsible for each other.
We will remember each other in prayer; aid each other in sickness
and distress, and practice the ancient Mitzvah of relief and
rehabilitation.
We Pray that the God of our fathers keep us steadfast in this
determination and bless the work of our hands.
Amen.
(Congregation and Reader)
Hear, 0 Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One.
Praised be His name whose glorious kingdom is forever
and ever.

Cong:

Thus saith the Lord; the heaven is My throne, and the earth is My
toot stool.
'
What manner of house will ye build Me, and what shall be My rest?
for all tmse things hath My hand made.
But to those men will I look, even to them that are poor, and of a
contrite spirit, and that tremble at My -word.
We have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for
Thee to dwell in forever.
Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, who knoweth the strong am
tender ties that bind us, and who understandeth the fair memories
and the stilTing hopes that make us one, look upon us in canpassion
as., with united hearts and undivided purpose, we consecrate ourselves
anew to thee and Thy service.
We, the people of this Congregation, do now dedicate ourselves
anew to the mrship of God in this place, so that we may help
establish His kingdom on earth.
For many years of fellowship with each other, for the courage which
has made burdens easier to bear, for the patience which has led us
through the valleys of fear and across the mountains of despair;
For many years made precious by sharing common burdens, enduring
common sorrows, completing common tasks and triumphing in common
purposes;
For many years of coming week by week to renew our friendship with God
and our fellows, for hopes renewed, for hearts encouraged., for sins
forgiven, for burdens lightened, for problems solved, and for visions
of eternal values;
We give thanks unto thee for Thou art the Lord, our God, and the
God of our fathers forever and ever.
In loving memory of all those whose hearts and hands have served this
sanctuary; with deep gratitude for loyal comrades in this spiritual
adventure;
We dedicate this solemn hour in gratefulness to Thee, for our
lives which are canmitted into Thy hand and for our souls which
are in Thy keeping.
Let us then cont:inue our tasks as we echo the words of the prophet
speaking in Thy name; I will remember Thee and the affection of Tey
youth I remember my covenant with Thee, and will establish for Thee
an Nerlasting covenant.

Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the mighty? Who is like unto Thee,
Glorious in Holiness, Awe-inspiring, working wonders?
Thy children acknowledged Thy sovereign power and exclaimed:
The Lord shall reign forever and ever.

SILENT DEVOTION
We call unto Thee, O Lord, out of the wordless places of our being. There are thoughts
too deep for words; yearning too great for the lips to frame. But Thou knowest our
thoughts before we utter them, and the yearning of our innermost self is not hidden
fran thee. May our thoughts soar unto the heights where Thy greatness dwells; may
our yearning find ful.fillment in the work of our hands.
In the silence of our heart, we pray, 0 God., that Thou strengthen us by the memory
of dear ones.. Let their lives continue through us, and their work find completion
in our own. Thus the generations will be linked :in love and in reverence; and the
grandeur of man will become clearer in our sight.
For those who made this, our Temple, strong~ we thank Thee. For those who labor
to keep it wortey of Thee, we expt"ess our gratitude. Blessed art Thou O Lord, the
Guardian of the hope and the Keeper of the Dream.

THE WILLING GIVER
He did the little that he could
Choosing to do it now
Not waiting for the larger good
The future might allow.
No one had ever heard him say
When he was asked to skate
"Come back again some distant day

When I have more to spare".
He never asked to see the list
Of gifts by others made
But gave his little, lest he missed
His chance the cause to aid.

�Dear friends:
Between the CO\'ers of this book is inscribed in cold figures, but from warm hearts,
a record of generosity and philanthropy established by :\fuskegon Jewry in a decade just
closed.
Ten years ha\'e passed since a group of local leaders met at my home and decided to
organize the United Jewish Charities of Greater :\luskegon. Since that noble and modest
beginning ten years ago, a total of $480,300.00 has been raised. $374,400.00 was allocated to
United Jewish Appeal and other OYerseas agencies. $83,000.00 was allocated to National
and local relief.
The launching of the Cnited Jewish Charities was a re\'olutionary and enlightening
landmark in our community. It afforded all of us an opportunity to help saYe a people, and
help build a nation.
As we undertake our 1953 campaign for Cnitcd Jewish Charities on December 28th.
under the leadership of Herman Grossman, Samuel Lipman and Harold H.osen, we cannot
rest on our past performance, but must give them our utmost support.
I should like to congratulate the leaders and all other men and women listed in this
book on their achie, emcnts in a decade of fruitful philanthropic effort. The generosity
and high sense of communal responsibility that ha,e characterized these endeavors ha,e
contributed immeasurably to the sun·iYal and well-being of countless thousands of men.
women and children all oYer the world, and to the establishment of hrael as a stronghold of democracy in the l'\Iiddlc East. It is therefore. my hope and expectation that our
enlightened community will meet the challenge on I)ecember 28th with commensurate
understanding ancl generosity.
The story in q1is book is of sacrifices made by our men and women in order to help
build a brighter future for our brethren on·rseas. But, at the same time, we did not neglect our home front. \\' e built a $250,000.00 Temple, and maintained a high le, el of religious ancl cultural acti\·ities for ourselYes. At the same time. the Jewish community leaders
participated in and supported The Hackley Hospital, l\Iercy Hospital, and Y\VCA building campaigns. \\' e support annually the Community Chest, Red Cross, Polio, Cancer,
Yl\ICA. Boy Scouts, ancl all other community wide projects and undertakings. Our heart:and pocketbooks haYe and always will support desen·ing causes, regardless whether they
arc J e,Yish or Christian.
To my associates-Francis Fine, Harry A. Fisher, Kelly Kaufman, Sam Lipman. Harold
Rosen. Leo Rosen, -:\frs. Syd Strifling, and others too numerous to mention-may I say
that you haYe been a source of inspiration, not only to me hut to the entire community.
l extend to you my sincerest heartfelt thanks and best wishes in the years to come for a
full measure of good health. happiness, and prosperity as justly befits those who ha\ e established so brilliant a record of charity and sen-ice over the decade just ended.
Faithfully Yours,

~a-~~~

�_About Our Chairmen
PAUL M. WIENER
The historic year of 1930 is remembered as a turning point in American history. For
the Jewish community of Muskegon it marked the emergence of a young man into a role
of leadership which he has held for almost a quarter of a century. At a time when people
e\·ery\\"here were holding on to whatever they could salvage from the stock market crash,
responding to the call of the late Issac Grossman. Paul 1\1. \\'iener undertook to organize
the Finances of the Synagogue to carry it thrn the depression years. In 1941 he organized
the United Jewish Charities whose tenth anni \ ersary we are celebrating this year.
At times as the official leader and more often as the unofficial leader, his guidance and
moral support were indispensable. Gifted with a dynamic personality he always directed his
energies where they achieved the greatest good. First for the Jewish community, and then
for the larger community, his ability for leadership was felt keenly. No cause of any worth
escaped his attention. He was citizen par excellence. He contributed incessantly of his time
and money to the common good. In his liberal distribution of his gifts we find personified
the familiar prayer in the Union Prayer Book: "Let us be, 0 Lord, just and great-hearted
in our dealings with our fellow men, sharing with them the fruits of our common labor,
•acknowledging before Thee that we are but stewards of whatever we possess."
Muskegon Jewry is fortunate in being able to boast of Paul \\'iener as one of ib most
honored citizens. \\' e consider him the embol'iment of the truly pious man, not in the sense
of isolating himself from his fellow man in prayer and meditation, but in a larger and more
real sense. He serves family, friend, community, and nation. These have become for him
thoroughfares to God. By his deeds he has made God's will his own, and for all his benefactions he lays no claim to reward. He abhors slander, and chicanery, and disdains the
shabbiness of human selfishness. By these signs and many more we recognize Paul \Viener
as a sincere man. May God grant him a long life of happiness together with his dear ones,
and the realization of all his hopes and dreams.

LEOS. ROSEN
It can be said that he is one of the strongest pillars of the community. Not only is the
Jewish community blessed by his presence, but he is a blessing to the entire community as
well, for he participates in every worthwhile ci, ic enterprise in Muskegon. Before the organization of the United Jewish Charities Leo Rosen raised funds for the Joint Distribution
Committee singlehandedly. The Congregation B'nai Israel will be fore\'er grateful to him for
his leadership and untiring efforts in organizing and completing our ne\\" Temple. l\Iay he
ever remain among us, an ideal worthy of our emulation.

J.

M. "KELLY" KAUFMAN

A former chairman of the United Jewish Charities and one of its highest contributors,
is a firm believer in the Rabbinic dictum: "Separate not thyself from the congregation."
By his example he has helped to loosen the purse strings of many a donor for in the field of
charity, "actions speak louder than words." !\eYertheless, Kelly Kaufman does not stop
here. He is also one of the most diligent workers in the campaign. He shall always have
our undying thanks.

�HARRY S. BERMAN
Congratulations on a successful 1948 campaign, the year of your chairmanship.

SAMUEL LIPMAN
He \\'as the chairman of the United Jewish Charities in 1948, the year which witnessed
the largest collection in its history. Thoroughly grounded in Jewish history and literature he
can discuss Jewish current events with ease and fluency. Xot satisfied with hearsay reports
about Israel, only a personal trip could satisiy his curiosity about the ne\v Jewish State.
H oweYer. a good mind is not his only asset. He possesses a warm and generous heart
\\'hich finds expression in meritorious acts of charity whereYer they are needed. Blessed
with an abundant capacity for friendship, he not only giYes of his substance but he gives
of himself. He is the kind of a person one instinctiYeiy wishes to count as a friend. To
know Sam is to loYe him. '\'e pray that he will remain in our midst for many more years.
a blessing to all who know him.

HARRY A. FISHER
A former chairman of the United Jewish Charities, he is a man who has earned the
respect of all of his contemporaries. Having once had to shoulder the full responsibility of
this campaign he is fully appreciative of the enormity of the task facing the present chairman. "re are proud of Harry Fisher for his generosity and his many kind deeds which
have endeared him not only to the members of his family but to the entire community. l\Iay
God grant him many more years of fruiti11l serYice among us.

FRANCIS FINE
The Jewish Community of Greater '.\luskegon has long been blessed by the de\'l1t1on
and generosity of its older and longtime residents. These men and \\'omen ha Ye contributed
enormously in time and money, in energy and leadership. toward the establishment of
strong and united Je\\'ish institutions. Always anxious to be relieH&lt;l of the demanding
duties of administration, the elders of local Jewry ha\·e been constantly alert to recognize youthful talent in their search for eYentual successors.
Foremost among the young men who ha\·e made a 11ame in our community in recent
years has been Francis Fine. Francis has sho\\'n a talent ior organization and leadership
which :\Iuskegon quickly recognized. ancl he \\'as gi\·en the opportunity of demonstrating
these qualities to the great ach antage of our entire group. By sening as Chairman of C'nited
Je\Yish Charities for the fiscal year 1950-51. Francis bas himself grown in stature. In '.\luskegon he has become deeply imbued with a Jewish conscience, a deep feeling of identification
with and responsibility to his people, its fate, and its institutions.
,\·e extend our most cordial thanks to Francis Fine for his senices. and commend him
for his example to other young Je\\'ish men and \\'Omen of the community.

�MRS. JOSEPH STRIFLING
Mrs. Joseph Strifling has served as a member of the Board of the
United Je-wish Charities since its inception, and during the past two years
has occupied the office of Vice-Chairman. \Vhen the general fund was
implemented by the milk fund Mrs. Strifling became immediately identified
with the latter. As an ardent member of Hadassah and blessed with a
warm and generous heart, she not only responded herself to this human
appeal for the under-nourished children of Israel, but she succeeded in
firing the imagination of countless others in this worthwhile and touching
project.

HAROLD ROSEN
Harold Rosen has served as the Vice-Chairman of the United Jewish
Charities during the past several years and has participated actively in
the annual drive for a much longer time. Because of his warm and genial
personality he has come to be known as tl1e conciliator of Muskegon. His
greatest passion is peace and harmony among all the members of the community. It can be said about him that he fulfills religiously the Rabbinic
dictum: ''Be of the disciples of Aaron, loving peace, pursuing peace, and
drawing all thy fellow men to the spirit of the Torah."

SAM KLAYF
Sam Klay£ has served as a member of the Board of the United Jewish
Charities since its inception. Thoroughly versed in Jewish tradition and
lore, he finds his greatest inspiration to achieve the good life from this
source. He is rarely absent from the traditional Sabbath services and
derives a genuine satisfaction from them. Muskegon is proud of this man
of integrity and devotion to duty in whom we find the following Scriptural
verse personified: "Thou shalt find grace and favor in the eyes of God
and man."

ELI SMITH

Eli Smith exemplifies a true devotion to God which is expressed in a
genuine love of his fellow men. He is not only reliable as the tenth man
in a ''minyan" but he can always be counted upon for a generous contribution to the United Jewish Charities and to other worthwhile endeavors.
:-.Tay his kind multiply in our community.

�MRS. FRED RODOFF
Mrs. Fred Rod off, Hadassah 's representative in the United Je"dsh
Charities, is one of the principal mainstays of this drive. She is a firm
belie, er in the traditional Jewish teaching that giving does more good for
the donor than for the recipient. That is why her chief concern is with
the collections from donors of $200 and less, and is the chairman of that
committee. \Vhen we realize that about 70% of all donors are in this
category, we are made mindful of the immensity of the task facing Millie
Rodoff.

MRS. R. SHMOOKLER
The gifts of :Mrs. R. Shmookler to the United Jewish Charities during
the past several years have been given with a generous heart and an
open hand. Devoted to her family, and adored by her children and grandchildren, she is sincerely religious in every sense. The standard which
she has set for giving, merits our emulation. \Ve pray for her continued
health and happiness together with the members of her family.

MRS. GROSSMAN
Mrs. Sadie Grossman, prominent resident of Muskegon for 65 years,
was one of those rare persons who always have plenty of time to help
somebody else.
The time many people spend in rushing from one meeting to another,
or indulging in purely personal affairs, she spent as busily, though far
more quietly, in visiting at our hospitals or otherwise seeking to smooth
the path of some other person's illness or distress.
She was a woman with an understanding heart, \\'ho was always thinking of one more way to
help people to fuller and happier lives.
"The rest. of us." remarked one friend, "are always wishing \\'e had more time to do the nice
things we'd like to do. She had the time. How often do you know people like that? Not too often."
l\Irs. Grossman was one of l\luskegon's most loyal residents, who li,·ed to see her community
grow steadily, just as she always kne"· it "ould. Hers was an eminently satisfying life, \\ith deep
roots in her chu~ch, her family, in friendship and service to others.

I

I am grateful to the United Jewish Charities for this opportunity to extend greetings to
the Jewish community of ::\Iuskegon on the occasion of their annual driYe. The story is told
of a desert traveler who was lost for many days in the hot, dry sands and was about to
expire from thirst. Suddenly he chanced upon a green, fertile oasis fed by a clear, cool
spring of water. After slaking his thirst on this precious, life.giving water, he satisfied his
hunger on the luscious dates which abounded there. Then he lay down to rest under the
cool shade of the palm trees. His heart O\'erflowing with gratitude, he turned to the oasis
and said '"Graciou:,; oasis, for your lavish and life-n·storing gift:- I would like to bless you.
Shall I pray that you have cool and refreshing water, you already haYe it. Should I bless
you with sweet and abundant fruit, you already possess more than you require. \\'ere I to
pray that your trees prO\·ide a cool refuge against the hot desert sun, the shade of your
trees is already a refreshment to the soul. I shall therefore pray that your spring of water
never run dry, that your trees continue to bear abundant fruit, and provide ample shade
against the hot sun.

I
::\Juskcgon may be compared to an oasis that is blessed with water, fruit and shade. Its
water is its substance and goods: its fruit is its people and their offspring: its shade is its

]

Temple and service organizations. Like the desert tra\'eler I shall bless you as follows:
:'.\I ay you C\'er be in a position to give of your substance to the less fortunate than you.
:'.\lay Goel bless you \\ ith many children \\ ho will be like you in generosity and kindne:..s. ::\1ay
your Temple e\'er inspire you with a lo\'e of God which will enable you to find comfort in
sorrow, strength in trial, and the courage to do justly and to love mercy.

A GLIMPSE OF B'NAI ISRAEL'S
CEREMONIAL ART TREASURES

t,
This magnificent silver
Breastplate covers one
of the Torahs in our
main Sanctuary. The
Breastplate
is
reminiscent of what the
priests wore in the
Temple of Jerusalem.

This is the traditional
Kiddush cup. Wine is
the symbol of joy.
Tradition calls for a cup
as beautiful as possible
to celebrate the joy o!
the Kiddush wine. This
magnificent Kiddush
cup has been part of our
Congregation for many
years.

This object is a "Yad",
which means finger or
hand. The Torah may
not be touched by the
reader's hand or finger.
The Yad allows the
Torah reader to follow
the
text
without
touching the parchment

scroll

tlons on tl,e walls or nny other part of the building.

On the occaaion

In theee days when change and confW1ion are rife
throughout the world, it is heartenin« to find a
people whoee devotion to the ancient taith ot their

to the principles of liberty and freedom ~on which
our great democracy ie founded, the future security
and welfare of the United Statea would be a11ured.
the fifty yeare since Congregation B1!Tai Ierael

well but has contributed in no small measure to the
comnmnity life of the City of Muaki3gon. It ia ay
earnest hope that in the year, to come, at in the paet,
Congregation B'Ba1 Ierael will continue ,teadily to
grow and protper.

TO THE MEMBERS OF CONGREGA'l'ION l3 1NAI ISRAEL :
On the occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of
Cont;regation l3 1 Nai Iarael, it 1a a pleasure and a
pri Vilege to send you personal good. ttishes and to
greet you on behalf of the people of Michigan.

In these days when chenge and confusion are rife
throughout the world, it is heartening to find a
people whose devotion to the ancient faith of their
father~ re1naine unaltered throt141h the centuries, If
every A~erican pledged the sama steadfast allegiance
to the principles of liberty t.nd freedom upon which
our great democracy ie founded, the future security
and welfare of the United States would be assured.

During the fifty years since Congregation l3 1l1ai Israel
was established, it has not only served its mcmber3
well but has contributed in no slllall measure to the
commu.nity life of the City of Muskegon. It ie my
earnest hope that in the years to col:18, as in the paet,
Congregation l3 1Nai Israel will continue steadi ly to
grow and prosper.
Sincerely,

c~~~
GOVERNOR

There is no community in all western :\lichigan that is so clo,ely knit as the
Jewish Community of Greatc·r :\Juskegon, From its people, leaders have
emerged to interpret and stimulate the desires, hopes, dreams and aspirations
of the community 11s a whole. A Jewish Center, a central meeting place £or
the joint and cooperative endeavor$ of all peoples of ituskcgon is the dream
of this community. A Center wherein the cultural, communal, social and
spiritual lire of the new ":\luskegon

. the '.\luskcgon that has grown so

greatly in character and stature . . . may be given iull outlet and further
encouragement .

.-\11 of Greater :\Iuskegon will benefit by the erection of a Center that will
encourage group interest and activate leadership in Jewish and Civic affairs.
Specifically . . . the Center will have adequate facilities for housing social,
cultural and religious gall,ering., both large and $mall. These will include,
among "arious others, the Congregation, the Children's and the Adults' Religious School. the Sisterhood, the Brotherhood, the B'nai B'rith Lodge, the
Hada_-;sah, the United Jewish Charities, and the Zionish Organi1A~tion. But
beyond the:;e. Lhe Center will be available to "arious other civic groups and
organizations.

'Nhen Lhis dream shall have been fulfilled, men, women and children will
meet in prayer within the walls of its beautiful main chapel, with a nnrmal
first lloor seating capacity for one hundred seventy persons. A flexible scal-

1

l

ing arrangement which includes a balcony will provide a ma,imum seating
capaciLy of Lhree hundred. As shown on the accompanying floor plans, Lhe
first [loor also has a social room or salon and a $mall chapel of proper atmosphere lo serve the requirements of small group~ (ln occasions of meetings for
religious purpcl$es. On lhe ground floor, part of the space is used for heating,
ventilating and storage, leaving sufficient area for a complete moc~rn kitchen
which adjoins a large recreation room equipped with a stage and other
necessary facilitie,; for dinners, dances, or social affairs. In the other parts
of th,:, building. in ,1ddition to the Rabbi's ,tudy, there will be a library and
three ch~rful rooms having proper sfac and equipment lo meel Lhc Religious
School requirements, and which are also planned 10 ser\'e other useful purposes.

The site selected for the Community Center is at the southwest corner of
Fourth Street and Webster Avenue

. . directly across lrom beautiful

Hackley Park. Here, ample parking facilities, too, are available. This
location is truly the ideal choice ... with churches and such institutions as
the Hackley Library, Lhe Hackley An Gallery, the Hackley Scnool, lending

five minute walk from the downtown business district, the ~luskegon Jewish
Center will in reality be the Center of :'lluskcgon's Jewish life.

been made ... and now ... to bring this dream lo full realization ... you
are asked to make an additional contribution according to your means and
capacity. The benefits you will derive out of your contribution cannot be
measured in dollars and cents. 1t will be an investment returned many Limes

The answer is for you to supply. If you respond now . . . if you make as

PAULM. WIENER
M,, Chainnan, Revuencl Clergy, Honored Guest,. l..odies and Gentlemen:

Dear Friends:

'7jl
c:'I

deallsi.. ore men who dare to do what at first appear, impossible nnd
Incredible. My mind qo&lt;s back lo lhe days of 1he undying hero. Theo•
don, Herxl, who. In his day, undertook a task whfch our people had
littl• faith in. As u rcsuh. Henl found few ears to listen lo him. fewer
men lo see with him eye to eye and give him a hand In his greot
progmm ol riclcling Eul'Qpe from the disease ol Anll•~mitl•m by cs!11hhshlng Pale.dine once 011aln as a Jewish •talc.
No, people had no faith In either Herzl or h.is plan. But Henl, the true lnnntlc,
the real active idealist. did not ,urrender. He apoke. He worked. He sacrificed Li.
lire. He touched with his sincerity, though only a few at the hcvinn!ng, but his
work went on oncl lived on.
Since Herzl, many Le'ro..,. rose to their feet to take his p(a~e. Many !Ike him
qave their !iv., becatl4e they reali1ed thot Herzl was right. II they were not convinced by Hen!, they were more deeply convinced by hi,tory. lho tra~lc hi•tory of
the lo1t decnde.
T odoy, as a re,ult of lhe unflinchin11 effort. of mn».Y of our )·oulh. many ol our
•lale•meri and men of Influence. ye•. and as a resull of the generouJ giving of
American Jewry. we regained our prestige in the eye, ol the world: ev•n more.
we re~aincd the land ol our prophets. the very land of our Toroh, 1h, fond which
gave birth to Judaism and two other great reli(llons.
Even !bough the job wn, hard. tcdiow,. arduous, costly. costly indeed. since 1he
tull was moro llllln 6.000.000 Jews. for whot family in Jewry wa, not effected by
the 11reat •lruggle? Prom my own fomily alone. totalllna over 250 member,. one
escapccl the bloody hand ol HIiler ancl is now in the Stole of 1,rncli. I say 6,000.000
Jews paid with their lives for lhe Jewish Slate ond I mean 1h01 and many more.
WN,: II not for them, the conscience of 1he U. N. and the good will of 1h, world
would sull be donnant.
True, the bottle Is not frnlsh,d yel. but no one can crMe 1hr fncl !hat I here is
• Jewish 1tate. \Vho would liave believed rt in Herxl.'s doy? Even in our day the
beht"J in victory wns not too strong among !tOrnc of u.s.

On this ••creel day, when we arc dedicotin1t our new T,m11le nnd arc detlicill•
in,t ourscl,·cs to the Temple, to Cod. to our ftllow-mcn. we dor, not lot the ,vent
pnu bl' forgetting lo pray homoue lo 1hose heroe• who llaV• 11ludly and heloicnlly
their lives for our benefit. for th, benefit of aTI Jewry. I a,k now 1'1a1 we dedicole,
on ihis solemn yet joyous occasion. one of the rooms of our ,chool to 1l1e S\ate of
Israeli. LE.T Tl US ROOt-1 BE TO OUR CHILD RE!'\ A LIVING LESSON OF
A RICH AND GLORIOUS PERIOD OF OUR IJJSTORY.
Mr. Chnl,mon. I hereby present you wilh my personnl check of S1,000 ns my
•mnll token to be used toward paying for one of tbe dnsuooms to be known as the
lnacli Room. And. Mr. Chairman. may I ura• you that proper recognition be given
lo this expression by rccordinll lhe evenl in our Colden Book nnd that a copy of
oil those who will want to contribute some thin~ toward IIii&amp; room be sent to the
president of the State ol Israeli.
Lad;,. and Gentlemen, I thanl. you one and all for your indulgence .

�-.About Our Chairmen
PAUL M. WIENER

The hi~toric year or 1930 is remembert•&lt;l :L&lt;- n turning point in American history For
the Jewish community of :'l!uskcgon it marke,I th~ emergence of a yottnj?' mat, into a role
.,f kadcr,h1p which he has heir! for almost a &lt;1uarter oi a century. At a time when people
e,·erywhere \\ ere holding 00 to whatever they rnuld salvage from the ~tock market crash.
re,ponding to the call "' the late Issac Grossman. Paul ~I \Viener undertook to urgam7.&lt;
the Finances of the Synagogue to mrrv ,t thrt, the depression years. In 1941 he organized
lhe l'nitcrl Jewish Charitie~ who~(' tenth anni,cr.sal") we are ce1ebratin~ this vear.

At times a• the official leader and more often a, the unofricial leader. his guidance and
moral !:tupport wcr~ indi~pens.able. trifted with a dynamir: per-sona1ity he always directed his
energies where the,· achieved the greatest iro,111. Fir.t for the Jewish community, and then
ior the larger community. his ability for leadershif) wa.s felt keeOI), No cause llf any worth
e~cnpe&lt;l hiti attenuon. Hr was citizen par c.-xcdlence. He contributed inccs~antly of hb timr
and money to the common good. In his liberal ,li,tributinn of hi, itift, we fit1&lt;l personified
the iamiliar prayer in the Union Prayer Book• .. Let us be, 0 I..nr&lt;l, just and great-hearted
in our dealings with our Mlow men. sharing with them the fruits of our common labor.
&lt;trknowiedging- l.,c;rt,re Thee that we are but steward:-- of whate,·cr we ro.sse~!:-."

l\fu5-kegon Jewry is. fortunat1: in being able to boast of Paul \\·iener a., one oi it.., most
honored dtizen,. \Ve coosu1er hlm the embot!iment of the truJ) pious man. not in the se11se

real sen~e I-le ~crn•s family. irtend. community. and nntion. The~-e ha\'e be.er.me for him
thorou,:rhfores 10 God. By his deed, he has ma&lt;le r.od's wilJ his own. and for all hi, hen&lt;•
factions he lays no claim to reward. He ahhur~ ~lander, and chicanery, n..nd disdains the
shabbinc;;s of human sclfi~hness. By these sign:-; and many morL• we recog-ni;,;c PauJ ,\'iener
as a sincere man. )la)~ God grant him a long 1ifo of happinc~~ lOgether with hi~ dear one~..

LEOS. ROSEN

Jewish communit) blessed by his presence. bul he b n. LJc~sing tu the entire community :as

A. prindpal ol the religiow or Sunday •chool. I 1hould like to
lfmil my,elf to a brief me..age on Jewi,h education. Thue i. an old sayin11 In our
Sacred literature that God. 1he T ornh and !.r~el o,e one. Without the idea of God.
tl,e Toroh would be just another book and without Cod and His .Book. there would
be no Ji,wish people.
In ordc,r lo keep tl,c God idea alive In the heart. of our children. they must be
taught Hi. u,ws. Hi1 Book and the great rich hteralure emnnnlfni rrom nnd relnted to the Book o! Bool&lt;$. By ~nowln11 their
our chi ldren wlll be able to
beuer evnluntc the prucnt, contrilmlc to It, and lhus enrich thclr herito11e. which
ii ~ Iorgo portion of the wo.rld'• culture.

P•••·

Then again, • Jewish education becomes Imperative when we reahu that
.'\merlcan culture i, no more or less than the totnl cultural experiences of all lfl'oups
comprisin11 our democracy. It is when ,ach lndivid,..,.I 1/f0Up keeps alive and nt•
tempts to enrich ill own herit'1ge that American culture is developed and mfumced.
So. on thi, day when we dedicate our School and Library let

u• dedicate our-

•el•·•• to a more cdensive and more elaborate program or Jewish education lo, our•
.dves and our chtld,...., Thi, PN&gt;lfl'M'l will, wllhout a doubt. !live us better Jew,

BY

MILTON S'TEINDLER
p;:,n:~~ t this declieatlon of our Rcli11iom School. and Library, It Is mo,1 rilling

!'-

1hn1 ii shall he In memory or our beloved [riencl, the late Rahl,; Auton
Cohen.
For in lhe library of Rahbl Cohen's home. or in lhe Hackley Li.
brory. is where our friend spenl a (/Teat deal of his lime.

In lus Sunday School work, the children from the little lob lo the
confirmation doss. oil loved their Rabbi and were proud to have him tolk to them.
If only for a few minutes.
His love for the children was •incere, which began with his own ,on
who. in hio way ol thinking, wn, a gilt from God.

Hec«I,

Hen.el was married, and In the course of lime was hleued with a dauahter. No
prouder Grandparent ever lived, Rabbi Cohen told lhe wo,fd he now must be
treoled with more respc&lt;:t. He wos a Grandfather.
He was very humble. and well do l remember when he wa, a guest speaker at
M,tskgon Hl11h School. Refre,hmenl• were served ofter his t;,Jk. "How different
ii 1$ In Ru,slo," be said. "11..ere a large loaf ol rye bread must la&amp;t n famlly for two
weeks. It is unheard of to offer a friend a aandwlch, for if you dtd, you would
flO hungry. What a blessed country thla 1$. How wonderful are Its people."
A, I became better acquninled with him, I grew more fond of Rabbi Cohen
Md realized that lhrough clrcumstancu I wa, being bl.,,ed with o beautiful
lr1end,h1p and a rare charocter.
Rabbi Cohen cnmc to Mu,kegon in Mny. 1937 to serve lhe Jewish Congregation
and here he spent the remainder of hi, life.
He was po5&lt;essed will. a breadth of vl•lon and a bnck11round of eduutlon.
trovd, and experience. He freely gave of hi• services to civic as well as to religiou,
nITnirs. H"- recognized. ond accepled responsibility of community service. He was
poss«secl with a great sense of humor. He wu the type of clti&gt;.cn to be valued in
any city, eapecially tbrou11h lryihg lime,, when 10ne leaderahip was so ur11ently
needed.
\,Vhen the Jew was persecuted In Germany. he could not eat he felt so badly.
When he spoke nt an American Legion meeting before we entered the Second
World War. he told hio audience 1he Jew of Muskegon will do his duty when
called on. nnd how right he wa,, witb 60 to 75 families, over 44 Jewish boy• from
Muskegon acrved in the Second World War.
In our ,cvcral tnllu together. I a.sked Rabbi Cohen why he didn't go to a larger
community where they could nfford to pay him a higher salary, aa he well deserved
lor hi• ability.
He replied, .. , was n Rabbi in Chicago. hut I like a smaller community like
Mu•kegqn. Here I lmow them all. I can call them Sam. Harry. and Leo. In a
lar~•r community l am n•ked to marry people I never anw before and probnbly
never will s« again, ancl eulogize tho dead whom I never knew.'' Money did not
ba,·e n high value in Rabbi Cohen'• hfe.
11,e privilege of knowing R!lbb! Cohen wa, mine and your,. He made a bette,
community or Muakeeon during hio life here wrth U$, His name will always be
insctibecl In our heurts.
Whrle our Good Lord Blessed thlo congregotlon with the fruit of lu, lnbor, like
Mo••• who never entered the Promised Land, 10 God took our Rahhi lo hta borne
on high. wnhout him hein~ able to &amp;ee 1hu ma11nlficent Temple.
To you. Mn. Cohen and Hcrzcl. u given the honor of seeing th1$ b,autlful
Temple. the Library witb Rabbi's lovely boob. and the sohool rooms. The many
children. whom he so denrly loved. will carry on the studies of Judatsm.

It I• w ith grent pride. Mrs. Cohen, that we dedicate the Library In honor ond
memory oE our friend and your late hu,hand, Rabbt Aaron Cohen.

Mr. Chairman. Rcvcttnd Clerw. Honored Ciuest,. Ladies and Gentlemen:

'cl[

he WQrds idealusl ond {onollc alway• huJ a special u1leresl for m,.
\ Vhcncvcr I would come ocro,. the word idealiit. I would ••• before
me n hero. o .nu.n of action. u savior. n protector of tl.t: intcrcslit of
monl&lt;ind. The expression lonatic. conjured op in my mind nn Individual who it n hindrance to the welfare

or Jocic:ty. o

p4"r~on who .hate"

pro(ITea• and detests unythinir new ond better.
Througb my experience wilh diffetent types of personalities. I learned that my
understanding ol thcsc terms was not entirely complete. 1discovered 1ha1 there nr&lt;
hvo types ol ldealisl$ and ulso two types of fanntico. There i• an idealist who worrld
mnkc the earth heaven. make man into on angel. rid the world of all its woes. in a
word. return mo.n to the Garden of Eden again. However. th;, kind of an idealist.
passive by nature. will not lift a Finger lo make tl,e ,lightc,I degree of hi• dream
an,l pion o reality. Th, worlc! i• nol loo deepl) Impressed with lheoe sort ol
ulopians-nol lmpreH«i nt ofl. The other kind of ideallsl I, the one thnt mokn o
pion lo better conchtioru ond then •tis out to do II re,ordl .., of the obstacles before
h,m. 11,ls kind ol man we ndmirc-thi• mun ho.• ht. Fo!lower5; he kindles the
heart• of hi• fellow-men, inspires them lo net o.nd progress Is mode.
Now there are olso two kind, of fonnllc.. One type worships tl,e world with
h wn, good
lor the p,,1. It Is nl,o good enough For lhc pre,ent-good enou~h For him. Such a
lanntlc holes anythin" new which might be better than the old-more benefrcial lo
1oclr.ly tlio.n the old. 11,is sort of fn,1otic we do nol like.
111111$ 111,, The world which WM loundcd over lo him is dear to him.

The more ndmirRLle type of fnnnllc, like the active idenli,t. ;. the one who se,s
\vQ~'t to improve conditions. expose.s him.sci£ to action, to obsta:cle-$. to ('ritidsm. to

mnny unplea•nnl circw,,.lonces and will nol ,top no molter how hard llte qofng,
until hi, encl u fully actuated or nt least appro~fmoted. A fonalic like thnt we
.,dore, re.sped, honor. love- yes. even worship.
In lhe last £cw yta.r-$, we ho"'c &amp;Ceo with our

O\.Vn

eyes, '" our own Jc:wish com-

munity, the type of fnnalic who with his vision, action. courn~e. stubbornnc,s. and
lndomitahlr will. ln•pi,cd, mo,·ed, stimulated
all to lc&gt;Uow him. wo,k wllh him.
lo the end thut we mi"ht cnjo)· th• bcuofils of something 11obler, greater and belier.

u•

Toda)• is a real happy o«aslon for us. \Ve are celchralin11 becau,e we hncl a
who was determined and obcluralc enough to bring us lo the point when
cnn have 8 dedication oI" new Temple in our community. (Let us all rise).

There was con-

siderable discussion concerning this motion, because of the fact that
it was rightfully an obligation of Abraham Rosen Lodge.

The only

reason ttat a request was made that this organization nay this amount
was because the finances of the Lodge would not

members of the Lodge would not understar.d the additional collections
in view of the fact that United Jewish Charities was attempting to
unify all fund raising in this community.

Dear Member:
Please be advised that a meeting will be held of all of the
contributing members of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon
in the Convention Room of the Occidental Hotel at 8:00 P. M. on Monday,
November 20th, 1944.
The purpose of this meeting is to consider three proposed
changes to the by-laws of our Organization. They are as follows:
1.

To change Article IV, Section II, so that it reads
as follows: "The Board of Trustees, which includes
the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, etc."

2.

That the Chairman and the Treasurer sign all vouchers
and checks drawn on the bank account of this Association.

3.

That the Chairman have the power to appoint, with
the consent of the elected trustees, five additional
trustees to serve in the capacity of a trustee during that period in which a Chairman presides.

In order that these proposed changes be given thorough consideration, this meeting is being called just prior to the B1 Nai B1Rith
meeting on the same evening.
Please make every effort to attend.
Respectfully,
MORTON L. WOLFE, Secretary

carried.
Dr. Telles spoke briefly about the radio recordings that
were available through the Zionists Organization of America that
presented various interesting stories concerning Jewish life in
Palestine.

The local radio station is unable to play these records

on the air without cost.

Dr. Telles suggested that several of

the merchants who purchase radio time use the records as a sustaining part of their programs.

This suggestion was accepted

and the Chairman appointed the following committee to act in placing these reoo rds at the disposal of .the radio station and providing time for the broadcasts:

�A Message From Your Chairman
On behall of the officers and truslees I am submiuing a repon of your Uniled
Jewish Charilies for lhe year 1943-1944.
During 1943 grealer demands were made on lhis communily for increased fi.
nancial assistance from overseas, national and local instillltions and agencies. Our
community accepted the challenge and raised $14,065.00, or an increase of 156 %
over the previous year. Thus you have made it possible for Muskegon lo be known
nationally as one of the most philanthropic communities on a per capita basis.
Your auention is called to Schedule A-1 which shows allocations to thirty-six
inslitulions and agencies. This is seven more lhan we contributed lo last year. ,vc
also increased and in some cases doubled the allocations over whal we gave last year
w lhe same recipients.
An allocation of $250.00 was sent to the Hebrew University of Palestine with
instructions that this sum be awarded in the name of the Muskegon Jewish Community as an annual scholarship to a worthy refugee studelll in agriculwre. \Ve
will be advised of the student's name and background when the award is made.
This is a magnificent expression of generosity on the parl of this communily.
\Ve are now forming a Cemetery As5ociation to be known as Mona View
Ilebrcw Cemetery Association, with Milton Sleindler as its temporary chairman
until an election is held and by-laws are adopted. ln the meantime we arc negotiating
with the Cily of Muskegon Heights for the purchase of approximately $20,000.00
worth of lots lo be paid for within lcn years. Your board voled a S2,ooo.oo Joan Lo
the Cemetery Association wil11 instruclions thal said Joan be used as a down payment lOwards lhc purchase of the lots. Il might be necessary in the future years to
advance addilional funds to ma intain the contracl wil11 the Cily o( Muskegon
HeighlS, bul eventually as the lots arc sold the monies advanced will be repaid lO
the Uniled Jewish Charities.
It has been a source of pleasure to work wil11 each and every one of you. Your
whole-beaned sacrifice and cooperalion has kept us uni led in the pasl and il also
assures a united, bright future.
Sincerely yours,
Paul :t-.1. Wiener
Chairman.

Dear Mom:
!l's hard Lo begin to write about Dad, because there is so m~1ch to say. ~cople's reaction when _they first met h!m was, h~'\'. a live he i_s! ho,~ lively! Dad _lived
the fullest kind o( life, full of the k111d of acL1vity he believed 111. Money was of
no consequence Lo him, and the strivings of so many other professional r~1en for
publicity and glory ~illed hin~ with disd~in. altho _he _had neither false pr~de nor
false modesty. H is idea of ~1fe was a life of activity in and for a gr~&gt;up; his J ews;
his family; his community; his country. I remember how on Yom K1ppur he u~ed
to emphasize Isaiah's ringing demand: "Thal thou hide not thyself from thine
own flesh!"
To him the urge to organize his fellowmen to perform useful and sacred
duties was irresistible. He brought children togethe1· into religious study; he
brought their parents to synagogue and to Zionist work; he reached out i~to the
general community to find more groups where he could expound and explain and
teach and exhort.

J remember some of his favorite ver ses: "\Vorship the Lord in the beauty of
holiness." "Purify yourselves, ye bearers of Lhe vessels of the Lord." H is most successful hymn was called Lhe Joy of \Vorship. You can see how he associated purity
and beauty and holiness with religious worship, which was of course group worship.
Probably it is not chance that during his last days in the hospital, when he surely
knew his days were numbered, he chose to read a book on "The Social Origins of
Greek Religion." The thesis of Lhis book is that the most elevated religious concepts have their roots in the ordinary every-day activities of a primitive community (and not, therefore, in the solitary meclitations of a hermit). Out of the struggles
LO grow food and catch game, LO grow into manhood and raise a family, Lo resist
or cajole natural forces, there grow ideas o( God, salvation, human brotherhood,
and immortal ity. So the life of Lhc group is the source of holy things.
l\ot that Dad had any illusions about his Jew~. But he must always have felt
that in spite of ignorance, incliffc:rence, and smugness, there was always hope. H e
used to say (I forget the exact words): "Judaism has faith in the infinite improvability of man." .Judaism, and Aaron Cohen, too. From the time when, at the
age of fifteen, he ate mok)y bn!'a d in . order to buy Zionist pamphlets; ancl not long
afler that, l~rav_ed the ~py1ng o( t!1c Imperial Russian secret police to participate
in illegal Z10n1sL mceungs; for fifty years he l,1bo1cd for Judaism and for Zion,
talking, _wriL_ing, tca~hing, _or&amp;a~izi~1g, creating poclr)' and· song, leading prayer.
Great fa1tll, 111decd, 111 Lhe mfi111te 11nprovahility of his fellow man.
Well, there are many other things to remember and I'm sure they'll come back
to me. I remember Lhat he was never afraid and never unkind, and that he hated
ignorance and cruelty more Lhan anything else in the universe, and that indifference
to human suffering hurt_ him more Ll~an any physcial pain he ever felt. \Vriting of
Lhe massacres of the Po!tsh and Russian Jews by the Nazis, he said "The horror is
that there is no horror." And I'm sure you remember well, Mom, how when Hitler
came to power, he suffered every clay with the German Jews. And in his last days,
w~en .fl?wers and messages of cheer pou~·ecl in to fill his room to overflowing, he
said, 1. housan\l,s of young men are dying everyday, and they make all this fuss
about one man.
_Well, ther~ arc pleasanter things to remember, too. He loved to laugh and joke,
to smg, to wntc plays ~ncl poem~, t? walk, ~o find something and someone new
every day, to be wilh children. His life was nch and full, and our lives have been
richer and fuller because we were so close to him. He left us when he was still in
his youth, because he never grew old.
1'vl uch much love,

Herzl.

cA M essage from Your Chairman
=
Your officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of Greater
Muskegon present herewith the annual report for fiscal year ending August
31st, 1946.
All requests for relief and assistance were equitably treated. A loan of
$2,000.00 was made to the Congregation B'nai Israel, and President Sam
Klayf promised to re-pay said sum by the end of 1947. An additional loan
of $500.00 was made to the Mona View Jewish Cemetery Association in
order for them to meet contract obligations with the City of Muskegon
Heights. This makes a total of $4,500.00 loaned to Mona View Jewish
Cemetery Association which is to be repaid to United Jewish Charities.
The Lake District Resettlement Organization was dissolved and the
cash balance of $403.84 was transferred to our account.
The sum of $678.50 which was loaned to Mr. and Mrs. Max Schumacher
by Lake District Resettlement Service was re-paid in full and deFosited to
the credit of United Jewish Charities. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs.
Schumacher.
With this report the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon is
ending six years of notable service in behalf of our suffering people in
Europe and our own national and local institutions. I, also, am completing
six years of service as founder and chairman of this organization and I am
indeed happy and pleased for having had the privilege of serving our community and people.
The Jewish Community of Greater Muskegon is challenged today as
never before by the task of raising BY THREE-FOLD OF LAST YEAR'S
QUOTA IN OUR 1946-47 campaign. Mr. Jacob Kaufman agreed to
accept the chairmanship for the coming campaign which will be officia!ly
opened on November 6th at 6:30 P.M. at the Occidental Hotel Ballroom.
I sincerely trust that you will extend to Mr. Kaufman your whole-hearted
support and cooperation for he will certainly need it if Muskegon is to meet
its quota.
Sincerely yours,
PAUL M. WIENER
Chairman

Nazism, and all of the other horrors against which this war was
fought, unless the democratic processes are made to live.

�ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING
of the
UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES
Held September 12, 1945,
in the Ball Room of the
Occidental Hotel,
Muskegon, Michigan
A precedent was set at tbis annual meeting in that the women
as well as the men were invited to the dinner, and the meeting.following.

At the oonolusion of the dinner, the meeting was called to

order at 8:00 p.m.

Chairman Paul Wiener was introduced by the

secretary, Morton L. Wolfe, who lauded Mr. ,Wiener 'a ,unselfis~
devotion to all Jewish causes, and who emphasized the fact that much
of th~ suooes.s of Muskegon's Je,wry in recent years has been due to
the unselfish efforts of our Chairman, Mr. Paul Wiener.
Mr. Wiener, after giving a short resume of the functions of
the organization, at the same time reminded the membership that the
success was not accomplished without the wb&gt;le-bearted united cooperation of the entire community.

He then introduced Rabbi Satlow, who

in turn introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. B. Benedict Glaser,
Rabbi of Temple Beth El, Detroit.
Dr. Glaser's address was both inspiring and educational, and
although he spoke for a full hour, bis audience listened attentively
and thoroughly enjoyed his every utterance.

After reviewing the faot

that only a small fraction of the Jewish Community still exists in
Europe, he stressed the fact that this group not only needs and looks
to assistance from American Jewry, but it cannot survive unless this
aid is forthcoming.

He also spoke as to the attitude the Jews in

America should display in regards to matters politic.

He emphasized

�to the United Jewish Appeal during the current fiscal year, with the
possibility that this amount may be increased if financial conditions
warranted same.

The motion carried unanimously.

The meeting was adjoumed at 11:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

~-03:: v~
Acting Secretary.

P.s. At the writing of these minutes, I am concluding fi-ve years as
Secretary of the Organization, therefore I am taking tbe privilege
of writing a departing message. I was happy to have bad the opportunity to have served the great humanitarian causes represented in
the allocations hereinbefore set out. As a result of my small participation, I have derived tremendous benefits that cannot be measured in
dollars and cents. My entire perspective in human endeavor and better
appreciation of the true values of life are only a fiew of the positive
results. It goes without saying that I have enjoyed to no small degree
the personal friendships that have been made with the various members
of the Board during their respective years of service. It is my
fervent hope that those that are capable of leadership will continue
to bear the responsibility of leading, because if those who have the
ability to lead refuse to take up this responsibility, all that has
been gained thus far will slip away into oblivion. In oonolusi$n,
may I say - thanks loads for allowing me to participate in your work.
Sincerely,

SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES
OF GREATER MUSKEGON
1916-19./7

J. M. KAUFMAN
Chflirrr,1"111

r

�THE FA TE OF A COMMUNITY is, in a great measure
determined by the efforts of individuals willing and capable of leadership in organizational work. It has been
Muskegon Jewry's good fortune to find that leadership
when the need has been the greatest.
For many years the leadership of this community has enjoyed the backing and support of self-effacing J. M. Kaufman, and last year when the needs of the United Jewish
Appeal reached unprecedented proportions, this goodnatured executive assumed the responsibility of surpassing the goal set for us. In effort, sacrifice and devotion,
our esteemed friend knew no limits and his inability to
serve further in this capacity due to physical limitations is
a source of great disappointment to him and to us.
Only those who have worked intimately with Kelly can
appreciate the great burden of gratitude that chis community will alwavs owe him.

- DR. MORRIS TELES, s~crerary.

�A MESSAGE FROM YOUR ACTING CHAIRMAN

It is my pleasure on behalf of the officers and trustees of the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon, to present, herewith,
the annual report of receipts, expenditures
and allocations for the fiscal year.
This affords me the opportunity to thank
my officers and trustees, as well as so many
of my friends who gave so generously of their
time and effort through the many meetings in
order that our goal may be accomplished.
My
sincere thanks to all of you.
This report of the United Jewish Charities ends seven years of remarkable progress.
The money that has been so graciously contributed by you has not been charity, but a human
treatment of a people who are struggling to
regain their just place as h:uman beings-struggling against staggering odds, after the
most ghastly and most devastating horror to
which whole people have ever been subjected!
Our community can be proud of the start
that has been made. A start to~ard real solution by means of rehabilitation and resettlement.
But a start alone is not enough1 HELP
US FINISH THE JOB -- WILL YOU?

(continued on next page)

�MESSAGE

(continued)

l
The cash balance on hand, as indicated by
these exhibits, is being disbursed immediately.
In past years your trustees have seen fit to
advance as a loan, $4500.00 to the Mona View
Cemetery Association. During the fiscal year
concluded, $1200.00 was advanced, resulting in
a total of $5700. 00 loaned to the Association.

'

I sincerely trust that you will again
extend your Tihole-hearted support and cooperation for the urgent needs that
confront
Muskegon's Jewry.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY S. BEfil.~AN

Acting Chairman

at the home of the
Chairman, J.M.Kaufman
A board meeting of the elected officers and trustees of the U.J.C.
of Greater k'uskegon was held on November 24, 1946 at the home of
Mr. J .M.Kaufman.
The meeting was opened at 11:00 A.k. The following were present:
J.M.Kaufman, chairman

Paul Hiener, hmnorary chairman

Trustees: Dr. Norman Fleishnan, Samuel Klayf, and Leo Rosen.
Guests: Harold Silverman and ~orris Teles, secretary pro-tern.
The acting secretary read the minutes of the meeting of September 4, 1946. He then suggested a correction,

An

allocation to

the Zionist Expansion FUnd had been erroneously recorded as one
to the Zionist Emergency Council. The correction was accepted and
recorded, and the minutes were approved after a motion by Klayf,
seconded by Rosen.
A clause in a motion made at that meeting was discussed by Paul
·.1iener, namely, 11 • • • that iuture membership in the Council of Jewish
1ielfare Federation be held in abeyance until new officers for the
U.J.C. for the year 1946-47 are organized."

Mr. Wiener explained that the Council asked for

1%

of the entire

proceeds of our U.J.C. drive, but he felt that money allocated to
the United Jewish Appeal should be excepted. The opinion was shared
by the others present, but action was deferred.
The minutes of the general membership meeting and banquet of November 6, 1946 were read and approved. The acting secretary also read
the resolution making Paul \liener a lifetime voting honorary chairman of the U.J.C.

�The chairman nominated as advisory trustees the followings
Reeva Levy
Seymour I. Rosenberg
Harold Silverman
Syd Strifling
Morris Teles
The board unanimously confirmed these appointments.
The chairman nominated Morris Teles as secretary of the
U. J.C. to serve at an annual salary of $250.00. The election
was unanimous.
The chairman asked permission to appoint another ten trustees
to assist him and the board in its work. It was pointed out that
the by-laws of the organization does not permit the appointment
by the chairman and the board of any additional trustees. It
was suggested however, that non-voting advisors be appointed
with the rank of consultant trustees to assist and to advise
the board in its efforts of raising money and making allocations.
The chairman then nominated, and the board approved, the following
members as consultant trustees:
Louis Berman, Gene Berman, Francis Fine, Maurice Golden,
Herman Grossman, Jack Lawson, Marcella Locke, Samuel Price,
Frederick Stein and Josiah Wiener.
It was explained by the chairman and affirmed by the board
that Rabbi Lewis Satlow is invited to participate at all
meetings or this group.
Leo Rosen moved that proper steps be taken to modify the
National Lumberman's Bank account of the u. J. c., now requiring
the signature of Paul Wiener, so that Chairman Kaufman's
signature be used instead. The motion was seconded by Norman
Fleischman, and carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 12s02 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,

Morris Teles,

Our guest for the evening was Mr. William Avrunim of the Council
of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. Mr. Avrunim was invited to
Muskegon to explain to the board the purposes and the needs of the
Council.
Mr. Avrunim's remarks were enlightening and well received. He
explained that the Council was formed to fill a need demanded by
local chartty boards. The Council investigates the nature of the
organizations which make charitable requests of local federations.
The needs of these organizations, their budgets, their purposes,
etc., are studied by the Council and these results are made
available to the individual communities. This information is
necessary in order to make reasonable and equitable allocations.
Mr. Avrunim pointed out specific instances of disproportionate
allocations made because of a dearth of statistical information.
Mr. Avrunim also made remarks concerning the relationship of
local to national organizations, and recommended greater autonomy
for local federations. He lamented the mushroom growth of civic
protective agencies whose work too often overlapped. He criticized
organizations which raise money for operational expenses, and use
these funds for capital expenditures. He recommended the establishment of inter-community cultural groups to facilitate the procurement of qualified Jewish lecturers and entertainers for the small
towns and cities. He closed by urging us to send delegates to the
National Convention to be held in Atlantic City on January 31st.
The

meeting was adjourned at 10:00 P. M.

�MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
UNITED JEWISH CHARIT~
SPECIAL MEETING
Held January 22, 1947 at
the Occidental Hotel,
Muskegon, Michigan

A special meeting of the United Jewish Charities of Greater
Muskegon was held at the Occidental Hotel on January 22, 1947.
In the absence of chairman J.M. Kaufman, vice-chairman Harry
s. Berman presided.

The treasurer, Sam Lipman, and the secretary, Morris Teles
were also present.
Trustees· present included Rabbi L. Satlow, Abe Ashendorf,
Max Rosenberg, Liarold Rosen, Revy Levy, and Marcie Locke.
The meeting was called to order at 8:30 and the minutes of
January 7 were read and approved. The chair read a letter from
chairman J.M. Kaufman addressed to the United Jewish Appeal.
The l~tter informed the U.J.A. of this community's fl.nancial
burden in its attempt to build a house of worship. Mr. Kaufman
pointed out that the building project had been delayed by the
war, and that its facili~s were desperately needed to fill the
needs of the community. He explained the financial demands made
upon llfuskegon Jewry and the latter's limitations in meeting these
demands. He conjectured that for the year 1947-8 we would be
unable to approach our accomplishments of 1946-47, and asked that
we be assigned a quota not in excess of $15,000.
After much discussion in favor for and against the views
expressed in the letter, Sam Lipman suggested that Mr. Kaufman's
recommendations be adopted. It was decided that H. s. Berman,
Harold Rosen, and Morris Teles re-draft the letter to exclude
unnecessary detail.
Abe Ashendorf moved that Harry S. Berman be authorized to cosign checks issued by the U. J . C. Max Rosenberg seconded the
motion, and it earried.
Without a formal motion it was agreed not to send a delegate
to Atlantic City for the convention of the Collllcil of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds.
Harold Rosen moved that a check of $15,000 be sent to the
United Jewish Appeal. Abe Ashendorf seconded the motion, and
it carried.

A special board meeting of the United Jewish Charities

Harry S. Berman at Lakos' Private Dining Room on October 3,
1947 at 8:45 P. M.

The object of the meeting was to discuss with U. J . A.
representatives the prospective quota f&gt;r our local U. J.C .
organization. Mr . Milton Kosen and Mrs. Marcia Cohen represented the U.J.A.
The secretary, Morris Teles, and the following trustees
v1ere present:

Abe Ashendorf, Harry Fisher, and Samual Klayf, Paul Wiener,
honorary chairman.
Also present were consultant trustees, Maurice Golden,
Mrs. Charles Locke and Frederick Stein. Joe Strifline and
Max Rosenberg were also present and participated in the
discussions .
Leo Rosen presented to the board and to the U. J . A. representatives a brief summary of the com:mnity 1 s financial
capacity and obligations with respect to our building progra~,
our communal activities, and to the u. J. A. He pointed out
the importance of completing our building program to assure
the continuance and development of a virile community.
The well-integrated community could afford constant contributions to U.J.A., and we must not allow our resources to be
dissp~ted. The morale of the com.immity is at stage in
protecting the building program . Nevertheless, Mr . Rosen
concluded, we should be happy to accept a reasonable cuota
from U.J.A., anything within reason that would not criople
our capacity for future growth.

The chair then appointed the following to the nrogram
committee for the annual banquet:
Francis Fine, Chairman; Seymour Rosenberg, d~rold Rosen,

Dr• Morris Teles, Dr. Norman ilieshman, Maurice Golden,

Fred Stein asked Mr. Kosen if the forthco:ning drive would
be the last great camp'lign. Mr. Kosen answered that we cannot anticip.:i.te history. U. J. A. leaders had hoped that the
85,000 D. P. 1 s in Europe would be resettled in 1946. Instead,
their members enlarged to 250,000, bnigration to Pales+,ine
and elsewhere was restricted, resettle~ent in the lands of
their origin wus obstructed by politics &amp;nd war-born antisemitism. Furthermore, the American 1ollar had beco~e devaluated, opportunities of procuring Army surolus at reduced
prices had disappeared, U.N.N.R.A. was dead, and I.R.O.
remained in existence only on pa~er. The need is at nresent
for more than the $170,000,000 asked. $400,000,000 could be
used.
Some of those present expressed the belief that their
individu:11 contributions to the forthco:'1ing ca:noaign ·m-a.Ld
be less than last year. They had, they s1id, extended themselves beyond their capacities last year on the promise that
last year ' s campaign would be the last grsat one.
It was pointed out that had some 250,000 Jews sill alive
in Eiu_rope, died last year our problem would have been si.!nryler,
the demands on us sm~ller. Should we com0lain th~t we still
have the opportunity of aiding these brothers?
Mrs. Cohen ~ave a brief and informal talk. She questioned
that anyone would be deprived of the neces.,ities of life by
increasing their contributions . She reminded the audience
that during the war years of 1941-45, our coo.:au.riities prospered financially and m~de no contributions to save European
Jewry because they could not. After a free ride of five years,
she damanded, it is time to pay.
Motions and amend.'Ilents were made to assume various definite
quotas. Wnen these were all defeated the following ~otion
by Harry S. BeraPn (who had yielded the chair to Leo Rosen)
carried:
11

That the United Jeuish Charities of Greo.ter Muskepon exert
ever/ effort to attain the highest possible goal, ana that
all names collected in excess of $10,000 be allocated to the

�-

The success of organized community charities and
philanthropies to a great extent depen&lt;ls on the
sympathy, generosity and ability of its leaders.
The Un,te&lt;l Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon
face&lt;l its greatest challenge last year when it ha&lt;l
to raise more fun&lt;ls than at any time before in ,ts
history and still not interfere\\ ith the fund-raising
for our Temple.
This challenge \\ as accepte&lt;l by the able and energetic Harry S. B&lt;:rman. Through his able lea&lt;lership and devotion to the cause, a new goal was
attained.
To you, Harry S. Berman, the community acknowle&lt;lges a &lt;lebt of gratitude and appreciation for an
assignment well &lt;lone.

PAUL M. WIENER,
Honorary Chairman

�A f.IBSSAGE FROO THE

CHAIRHAN OF THE U. J . C.

It was indeed an honor and pr ivilege to
have been singled out by this community to
head the U.J.C. drive in the past year.
I say it was an honor because t he community by electing me for the task, showed its
trust , confidence and faith in my ability to
fulfill my assignment.
The reason I deem it a privilege is because not everyone is privileged to live in a
country such as ours where there is not only
opportunity for its citizens to live in peace
but where man can extend a helping hand to his
fellow man, deprived of similar privileges and'
opportunities.
Buskegon Jewry deserves credit for its
generous gifts to the U.J. C. in past years .
Our giving made it possible for our brethren
tc fight heroically and emerge victoriously.

(continued on next page)

�MESSAGE

( continued)

The fight unfortunately is still on, and
so our giving must not diminish this year. As
a matter of fact, we must give more generously
now than ever before. For while the doors of
every land are practically closed to our warafflicted brethren still languishing in concentration camps, the State of Israeli has its
friendly hand stretcred out to take them in,
and give them a home in which they can live in
freedom and enjoy a sense of dignity experienced by no other Jew anywhere on the globe.

Our brethren in Europe and Palestine ask
for cooperation.
Let us answer them generously.

HARRY S. BERMAN

Chairman

�TZEDAKAH -

CHARITY

Whoso closes his eyes to this duty and hardens his heart to his needy
brother is called a worthless man, and is regarded as an idolater. But whosoever is carefu l in the fulfillment of this duty attests himself as belonging
to the seed of Abraham, whom the Lord hath blessed: "For I have known
him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after
him, that they may keep the way of the Lord, to do Tzedakah and Justice."
(Genesis 18. 19.)
Charity is the main foundation of Israel's preeminence, and the basis of
the Law of Truth. As the prophet says unto Zion: "By Tzedakah shalt thou
be established" (Isaiah 54. 14). Its practice will alone bring about Israel's
redemption : "Zion sh al I be redeemed with justice, and they that return of
her with Tzedakah" (Isaiah I. 27). Charity is greater than all sacrifices,
says Rabbi Eleazar; &lt;:ven as it is written, ..To do Tzedakah and justice is
more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice".
Whoso pities che poor shall himself receive compassion from the Holy
One, blessed be He. Let him further reflect that as there is a wheel of fortune revolving in this world, perchance some day either he himself, or his
son, or his son's son, may be brought down to the same lowly state. Nor
let it enter his mind to say: ''How can I give to the poor and thus lessen
my possessions)" For man must know that he is not the master of what
he has, but on ly the guardian, to carry out the will of Him who entrusted
these things to his keeping.
Whosoever withholds alms from the needy thereof withdraws himself
from the lust&lt;:r of the Shekhinah and the light of the Law.
Let man therefore be exceedingly diligent in the right bestowal of
charity.
Jacob ben A.rher, 1269-1349.

MESSAGE EEQM THE CHAIRMAN

In terminating the campaign of 1948-49, I look
back upon the years spent in the administration of
the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon.
After four years as Treasurer, the past year as
Chairman and a board member since the organization's inception, I have had the honor and the
privilege, as well as the heartfelt satisfaction of
contributing, in part, to the formation and maintenance of the new Jewish State.
Not only do I feel that I have contributed to
the welfare of my brethren, but in doing this, I
have seen the positive results of true values;
I have gained a working knowledge of religion and
altruism. The success of one's undertakings brings
with it a joy and spirit unsurpassed.

I

I

~

The Jewry of Muskegon can be proud of the role
it played in the fulfillment of our dreams. However, we must be mindful of the fact that our task
is, as yet not completed. It is not enough to support financially; we must also give of our time and
effort. I hope and pray that those men and women
who are capable of leadership will assume their
responsibility and that the members of our community will co-operate to insure the success of future
campaigns.

I

I wish to take this opportunity to express my
sincere gratitude to my co-workers and to the community at large for their generous and unstinting
time, money and effort.
I'm sure all of us have
benefitted spiritually and materially from participating in the worthiest cause in the history of
mankind.

Yours very truly,

�TENTH ANNUAL REPORT
UNITED JEWISH CHARITIES
OF GREATER MUSKEGON
1949-1950

HARRY A. FISHER
Chairman

�OUR COVER PICTURE
THE ANCIE~T PROVERBS said. ''In 1imes of need. ., ma,1
u·i/1 be found to fit the deed". So it was in late 1949 when
the United Jewish Charities of Greater Muskegon was in
sore need of an aggressive chairman who could carry the
burden of persuading a wmmunit)' that there was a continuing job to do -

a continuing burd:n to shoulder.

To fill this need, a man who h:1d ,1h--ays bt:~n of a sistance
to other leaders with both his means and his time, rosP to
the challenge. In the face of a recession in business conditions, he was able to send a record number of dollars to the
United fetl'tSh Appe,,I, thus continuing the history of advancement for which Muskegon can b~ justly proud.
WE SALUTE Harry Fisher. who as Chairman, undertook and
succe~sfully complet~d a tremendous task in the face of
serious economic hindrances.

�!

MESSAGE FROM

THE HONORARY CHAIRMAN
It is a source of pride to the Jewish
Community of Greater Muskegon that, in spite
of our own local institutional needs, a nearly
record amount of mcney was sent for overseas
relief during this past fiscal year.
In this crucial period that the infant
State of Israel is facing, Greater Muskegon
has exhibited a consciousness of its duty to
our brethren in Israel which will be remembered long af'ter the struggle for the survival of Israel is over.
Muskegon Jeury has an enviable per capita
record of its generous giving, equal to, or
better than any Community in the United States .
Our Community acknowledges a debt of
gratitude to Harry A. Fisher for his generosity and leadership during the critical fiscal
year of 1949-50.
PAUL M. "JIENER,

Honorary Chairman

�! MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
In concluding the United Jewish Charities Campaign for the year 1949- 1950, I cannot but help
offer thanks to the Jewish Ccmmunity of Greater
Muskegon for its magnificent response to the greatest cause in the history of the Jewish people.
From a personal standpoint I feel grateful for
the opportunity of having been chairman of the
Muskego11 U. J .. C. for 1949-1950, because through my
work I have gained a more intimate knov,ledge of the
tremendous good that the more than 90% of our local
campai gn funds sent overseas has done in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Israel. This has
provided an enrichment of my life that nothing else
I could have under taken would have accompl ished.
I s the job done? Emphatically no 1 Today, we
stand at the crossr oads- -for without our support
during this stage in Israel's history, it cannot
successfully become what can be the greatest example
of democracy outside our own shores.
It is up to
each of us , my friends~ to conti11ue to shoulder the
burden of our Israeli brethren and to make additional sac=ifices so that their future, and in a
sense our future , shall be secure .
I could not in good conscience transfer the
r eins of my office without publicly thanking my
Fellow Officers, Board Members, and particularly
the Muskegon Chapter of Hadassah for their untiring
efforts which assured the success of our campaign.

Chairman

..,

�MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

As the 1952-1953 year in the United Jewish Charities program
closes, I give thanks and gratitude on behalf of the officers and trustees
to a splendid commu nity which continues to toke its place among the
Jewish communities of Michigan. I say splendid because our community,
through its local efforts, has manifested its desire to help bring to fruition man's instinct and determination to be free, an event we witnessed
in Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts,
has asserted its faith t ha t there is a force for freedom and for good in
Israel. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts,
has declared that the experiment seen in the rebirth of the world's
youngest democracy sha ll not fail. I say splendid because our community, through its local efforts, hos affirmed the strength of the Israeli soul
which boasts a vastly greater power than any material consideration, a
power which hos settled for nothing less than freedom, a power so great
that it surpasses the violence of the sun itself.

I say splendid, too, because I know that you will not relax your
efforts to help my successor. This work for t he United Jewish Charities
is a life-giving work for the entire community. I believe we can, I believe
we must, mold and recreate the spiritual and moral leadership which
hos always united our peoples. I say splendid, again, for from this
power to unite has come the rare gift of providing so much more for
such a greater cause. Continue to encourage this young man who hos
just gone into business for himself. And for your generosity, and for
your overflowing hear ts, God bless you.

HERMAN GROSSMAN

GREATER MUSKEGON

1942 - 1943

i

�*·============================*

It is with a great deal of satisfaction and pleasure that we
submit the second annual report of the activities of your United
Jewish Charities of Muskegon.
' t

Your chairmen, and the committee that was appointed by
them, have worked hard to see that the monies were collected
and properly distributed. Through our affiliation with the
Federated Council of Charities, of which your organization is a
member, we had able advice and assistance in the disbursement
of the funds.
The people of our community as a whole are proving to be
highly understanding in the needs of the less fortunate. This
is proven by the over-whelming success of the second year's
campaign, and we sincerely trust that your cooperation in the
future will be as unselfish as it has been in the past.
We trust that you will read this report, and scrutinize it
very carefully so that you may offer criticism, if due, at our next
annual meeting and dinner which will be held Monday, October
llth, at 6:30 P.M. in the Russett Room at the Occidental Hotel.
Paul Wiener, Chairman
Leo Rosen, Co-Chairman
