Brilliant Scholar Is First Native Detroiter to Occupy
Pulpit of Local Synagogue—Congregation in North-
west Section of City To Be Modern Orthodox.
Close upon the heels of the an-
nouncement of the organization of a
new synagogue to cater to the spirit-
ual needs of Jewish residents in the
northwestern section of the city conies
the news of the election of Rabbi
Ilarry Z. Gordon as leader of the
new institution.
Rabbi Gordon is well known to
members of the local Jewish com-
munity as one of its brightest and
most promising younger men. Raised
in this city and educated in the local
public schools, his is the unusual dis-
tinction of being the first Detroiter
to occupy the pulpit of a Detroit syn-
agogue.
Though still a young loan, Rabbi
Gordon has already made his mark
in the field of Jewish letters and re-

discuss the future policy of that in-
stitution, Rabbi Gordon said:
"NI y outstanding feeling is one of
deep gladness that my work takes
me back to the city of my boyhood.
It is wonderful to do ones life-work
in one's own city, among friends one
kno‘v s and loves and wider &tads.
Rabbi's Position One of Responsibility
"Of course. I an also conscious of
the responsibility that is now mine.
The Rabbi in modern Jewish life in
America, with its complexities and
problems, has a vast responsibility.
, But if an unswerving fealty to faith,
a thorough devotion to duty and a
tremendous willingness to serve will
lie of any help, then I shall prove
equal to, that responsibility.
"As to the future policy of the syn-
agogue with which I ain connected, I
may say that its underlying spirit will
be one of deep reverence for Jewish
orthodoxy and religious traditions. At
the same time we aim to be modern
and progressive in accordance with
the times."
Rabbi Gordon is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Leon Gordon at 293 Fred-
erick Avenue.
