The society was popularly known for many years as the "Frauen Verein." The indirect cause of its origin is found in a call issued in 1863 by Dr. Isaac M. Wise, on behalf of the "Central Verein" in Cin- cinnati. Dr. Wise appealed to a number of rabbis to organize women's societies in their communities to raise funds for a widows' and or- phans' home to be established un- der the auspiceS of Bnai Brith. In response to this call, Rabbi Abraham Laser of • Temple Beth El, Detroit, called a meeting of the Jewish women of the city, at the Odd Fellows Hall, on Sunday, July 12, 1863. The meeting was at- tended by the following b3 women: Mesdames David Amberg, Solo- mon Bendit, Marcus Bernstein, Ja- cob Brand, J. Brenzlor, Moritz L. Butzel, R. Blum, A. Bresslauer, Marcus Cohen, R. Ehrman, Mi- chael Ehrman, H. Frenzdorf, Abra- ham J. Franklin, Herman Freed- man, Simon Freedman, Isidor Frankel, Emil S. Heineman, Louis Hirschman, Adam Hersch, Joseph Joseph, Isidor Kaufman, S. L. Knoll, Herman Kaichen, Arnold Kaichen, Philip Lichtenberg. Also Mesdames A. Loewenstein, Abraham Laser, Louis Lambert, Adolph Lehman, Moses Labold, S. RABBI ABRAHAM LASER Musliner, Morris Mendelsohn, Moses Marks, Isaac Marks, M. Malsh, A. Oppenheimer, Bernard Prell, L. Rice, Sigmund Rothschild, Feist Rothschild, Julius Robinson, Moses Rindskoff, Matthias Rosenberger, Emanuel Schloss, Seligman Schloss, H. Sykes, Judah Sittig, Harris Solomon, J. Sternberger, Simon Sloman, Marx Sloman, Morris Troun- stine and S. Wolfson. A goodly number of men were also present. • • • IN CONTRAST TO THE earnest willingness of the assembled to form a branch of the "Central Verein" in Cincinnati was their un- certainty as to what exactly was to be accomplished. No detailed plan was submitted by Dr. Wise and the location of the proposed home for widows and orphans was undetermined. There also developed at the meeting an objection on the part of the group to bring together widows and orphans from all parts of the country to one home. After much deliberation it was, therefore, resolved to form a women's society for the support of Jewish widows and orphans within the State of Michigan only. On July 26, 1863, a meeting was held to elect officers. It was the consensus of opinion at this meeting that for the first few months only men should be elected as officers, and that when the preliminary work of organization had been completed by the men, the leadership of the society would be turned over to the women. Such a procedure was not uncommon in the founding of Jewish women's societies of an earlier day. The history of many of them shows that in the Forties, Fifties and Sixties the women, lacking formal training, called upon the men to show them how tc organize and conduct their societies. • • • ONCE THEY GOT STARTED the women forged ahead and were destined to match and even to surpass the work of the men in the community at large. The first officers elected were Louis Hirschman, president; Rabbi Abraham Laser, vice-president; S. Musliner, secretary; and Herman Freedman, treasurer. The following committee of men was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws: Bernhard Prell, Seligman Schloss, Moritz L. Butzel, Moses Rindskoff and Philip Lichtenberg. On Oct. 4, 1863, the committee submitted a draft of the constitu- tion and by-laws and they were adopted by the Society. This historic record, written in German, contains many points of interest and a translation thereof will appear in next week's article. Synagogue Celebrates Its 100th Anniversary NEW YORK (JTA) — Religious faith is the indicated cure for the world's ills, Rabbi James G. Hel- ler of Cincinnati declared at a meeting marking the 100th anni- versary of the establishment of the Central Synagogue. The meeting was held under the auspices of the American Jewish Cavalcade, a religious emphasis program spon- sored by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. "It is appropriate that Judaism, the mother religion of our Judaic- Christian civilization, should, through the American Jewish Ca- valcade, take the lead in a pro- gram of religious revival," Rabbi Heller said, adding, "It was the first of all religions to preach the doctrine of the God of history. "Social justice, applied to the individual and to the nation, is the very warp and woof of its message. And optimism concern- ing man's place in the universe and his destiny here and here- after, has always been implicit in the Jewish spirit."
