city, ranks today as the foremost

community and the second largest

A Power In Community
Fostering every Jewish activity
undertaken in the city, the lodge hae
proved a power in building up the
present social and communal struc-
ture.
The Jewish Community Center.
forint rly known as the l'rogress Ball,
came into existence through 1Pnal
Drab enterprise and almost from the
very beginning the doors of this In-
stitution under its former name were
thrown open to all other Jewish or-
ganizations. Intellectual advance.
meat work of this lodge dates back
to some eight years ago with a long
recoil' of many successful and not-
able events.
The phenomenal growth of the
bodge as a power in the community
from Its small beginnings Is perhaps
told best by Edward Lichtig. Stage
Deputy of Bay City, and one of its or-
ganizers. Writing in The Community
Herald of Flint, Mr. Lichtig traces
the progress of the lodge thus:
History of Lodge
"For many months, having been In-
terested in matters D'nal B'rith In
nearby cities, Brother A. 13. Roman
anti myself in December, 1910, ar-
rived in Flint to acquaint ourselves
with conditions as to the numbers
and prosperity of our coreligionists
tied if found sufficient numbers to or-
ganize a lodge of the I. 0. B. B. Our
first call was upon Mr. Morris Ko-
backer, who, after listening to our
purpose, advised that we immediate.
ly set out to accomplish our end.
A form for the application to in-
augurate a lodge was made out and
Ilrother Kobacker was the first sign-
er, and then took us to his Jewish
friends until thirty had signed. With
this properly filled out the matter
was put into the hands of the Secre.
Wry of the Grand Lodge. The appli-
cation as-as rece14ed and pisorably
acted upon and on Sunday, January
2, 1910, Flint Lodge No. 656 was in-
stituted. Mr. Mandel Rosenberg was
made its first President, while Mr.
Morris Kobacker became its first
Monitor.
From the date of its birth to the
present year Flint Lodge has had a
healthy and continuous growth, the
enthusiasm growing even in greater
proportion than the membership. The
Lodge became the center of all Jew-
ish activity and thought, and each
year the incoming officers net out as
a purpose to outdo the efforts of the
past years, so that the lodge as a
home for Jewish thought and feeling
continued to occupy a greater place
in the affairs of Flint Jewry than
anything heretofore attempted. It
tried to make real the motto: "one
for all, all for one." Nowhere has
there been keener op-operation than
that exhibited by Flint lodge, and the
success of its activities is known
thruout the entire state and Grand
Lodge, out the entire state and by
the Grand Lodge.
At the outbreak of the War Flint
Lodge covered itself with undying
glory by Its contribution to war suf•
ferers, the Red Crass, and all other
worthy causes. Better than $7,000
being contributed In this way In ad.
dition to taking care of its other at
fairs. The main point to consider,
however, Is the fact that twenty-two
young men volunteered their services
in behalf of our country. No finer
mark of patriotism can be found any-
where throughout our land than that
shown by the Jewish men of Flint.
During the time these affairs were
developing Brother Kobacker was
called to Toledo where he has since
made his home. At first It was
thought impossible to find another
man to take u pthe month, of work
left behind by Brother Kobacker, but
in Brother lien Wiener such a man
was found and through his efforts a
great portion of the fill.TP81 ■ )! Flint .
La Igo was made possible. Bro.1
Wiener, not because fry has been sev.1
cral time elected President of the
bodge, but because he has been in.
torested In its success, has worked
continuously for its welfare. To an i
outsid e r "looking In" his efforts have
been remarkable and the greatest
compliment should be Paid him. As
all well know Brother Wiener Is at
the present time President of the
Flint Lodge, working with all might
for the success and advancement of
not only Flint Lodge but also all
things Jewish. In the past ten years
Flint Lodge has grown from a me•
herald') of thirty to 175, making It
tl.e second largest lodge in the state."
