effort, and addressed thousands of soldiers at Fort Knox and spent
three days at Percy Jones Hospital. He won national acclaim for his
successful single-handed fight to eliminate discriminatory literature
from resort hotel publications.
There are few men in the city whose program of activities is as
comprehensive as that of Dr. Glazer. His congregational duties, com-
munal work and national interests keep him busy until the early
hours of the morning seven days a week.
He has been constantly in demand as lecturer and preacher,
both in Detroit and throughout the country, addressing churches
and synagogues, colleges and high schools, ministers and laymen,
Jewish and non-Jewish organizations.
Besides his national affiliations, Dr. Glazer serves on the boards
of many Detroit Jewish and non-Jewish civic and philanthropic
agencies.

The Talmudic Disputations of Rabbi Yechiel and Nachmanides,"

IN HIS INAUGURAL sermon on Nov. 14, 1941, Dr. Glazer told
his new congregation that he recognizes three obligations. "My pri-
mary obligation, of course, is to you," he said. "Let me have the
privilege of sharing life with you. I also recognize my obligation
to the Jewish community as a whole. I will not deny myself to any
cause that is legitimately and constructively Jewish, no matter how
much I might personally disagree with it.
"Finally, I recognize profoundly and with enthusiasm my obli-
gation to the American community. As a Jew and as an American,
I will do my best to stimulate the democratic processes that are
at work in the community."
How well Dr. Glazer attained the objectives of his platform as
enunciated in his inaugural sermon is indicated in the following
highlights of his ministry in Detroit during the past five years.
When Dr. Glazer came here Beth El had a membership of 900.
Today Beth El numbers 1,450 families and is one of the largest and
most influential congregations in the country. In 1943 Beth El set
the pace for a number of congregations in the city and many congre-
gations elsewhere by liquidating its capital indebtedness.
Dr. Glazer founded the Beth El Institute on Judaism which is
attended annually by a representative cross-section of the Christian
ministers and religious educators of the city. He also inaugurated
the Book Review Course which is attended by hundreds of women,
both Jew and Gentile.
He was twice the guest preacher on the`Message of Israel coast-
to-coast radio program. He was one of Detroit's 10 delegates to the
American Jewish Conference.
