As the years pass we come to
realize with increasing awarene'.s
what values of richer spiritual
living our leader Rabbi Menachim
Mendell Halevi Zager left to us
and what inspirational character
he exemplified before he became
a revered memory. The gap left
in our socio-religious lives by
his passing, has been left largely
unfilled for it has been difficult to
find a new leader to match such
a predecessor. The qualities of
hope in a better world for man
on this earth, of devotion to
Torah and its principles and of
sincerity in office have been and
are those rare virtues we ar•
sometimes fortunate to glimpse in
contemporary life.
Rabbi Zager's life reflected all
of these qualities. As Rosh Ha-
shanah approaches this year, we
commemorate the Yahzeit of Rab-
bi Menachim Mendell Halevi Zag-
er, one of the most popular spir-
itual leaders of Detroit Orthodox
Jewry, who passed into his Re-
ward while in the fullness of his
intellectual powers and the ma-
turity of his sagacity and learn-
ing at the premature age of 54
years. Two years have passed
since Rabbi Zager's demise, and
with his Yahrzeit come renewed
memories dating as far back as
his boyhood when I first came
to know him as a countryman
of his in Europe. His environ-
ment and means in the small
town from which he came meant

hardships and reversals for a
young an who sought to break
away from an economy that de-
manded full time spent in eking
out an existence. But thru all of
this Rabbi Zager found t h
LATE RABBI M. M. ZAGER
strength in his love for The
T or a h to endure privation.
Through all of this he studied
zealously and prepared himself
to become a leader among men.
He was an exception to the dic-
tum of the rabbis (Pirhe Aboth
"He who observes the Torah
while in poverty will live to ob-
serve it in plenty."
Rabbi Zager acquired the foun-
dations to his thorough Talmud-
ical knowledge in the famous
rabbinical academies in Russia
and Poland. In this country he
further pursued his studies find-
ing his reward and satisfaction
in the realms of the spiritual
spheres, financial rewards being
ever modest.
Rabbi Zager was the typical
Talmud Chochom, who found the
reason for, and happiness of his
existence in the study and ob-
servance of the Torah and in re-
flection on the eternal verities of
Judaism. He found special pride
in his sermons and biblical com-
mentaries. Ardently he believed
in the effect of the spoken

their mark for they came from
his heart and were directed to
the heart. Many of his manu-
scripts containing his precious
commentaries to the Talmudic
and Midrashic Literature and the
outlines of his sermons are wait-
ing for the light of publication.
The synagogues which were priv-
ileged to have him as their spir-
itual leader for the short time
he was with us feel his absence
yet today.
His wife and two daughters,
who live and perpetuate in their
lives the religious concepts and
ideals of their father, have been
fortunate in having had such a
husband and father as Rabbi
Zager. His blessed memory in
the years . to come will serve as
an inspiration to them and to the
community whom he served so
devotedly and well.
