Bnai Brith in Michigan
Detroit Lodge

T

THE NEED OF a governing
body to streamline the activities
of Detroit's Bnai Brith lodges and
to direct expansion programs be-
came apparent about 1939, and the
leaders of the local lodges began
formulating plans for organizing
l' , P.J.1-01, tel the Greater Detroit Bnai Brith
Council. The first meeting of the council was held in 1940 and Louis
Rosenzweig was elected first president. His successors have been Jess
Feller, Harry Yudkoff, Louis H. Shostak, David I. Rosin and Milton
M. Weinstein, the incumbent.
Originally, the council comprised three lodges-Pisgah, Louis Mar-
shall and Detroit Lodge with a membership of about 1500. By March
1 of this year, the council will have 14 lodges with a membership
of 6,000, the second largest council in the United States.
Until 1945, the council included the women's chapters in the city,
but since that year a separate Greater Detroit Bnai Brith Women's
Council has been formed.

lodges in the following cities in Michigan: Abraham Rosen No. 818
in Muskegon; Ann Arbor No. 1428, Bay City No. 178, Bentor Harbor

656, Dickinson County No. -163E1 in Iron Mountain, Iron County No.
1635 in Iron River, Jacob H. Schiff No. 694 in Lansing.

under the name Grand Rapids Lodge No 238 Ip 1891 it was named
after Julius Houseman, Michigan's first and only Jewish Congressman
and one of the outstanding Jewish pioneers of Michigan. Others are

LIMITED EDITION

The Increased need for specific knowledge In Jewish, Judeo
Christian, Islam, the Bible, and in hundreds of thousands of
other subjects, is an outstanding fact in modern life. In this
Atomic Age, there Is, in every house, a frequent quest for
authoritative information to explain and to dispose of a moot
point discussed among friends, preached from the pulpit,
heard on the radio, seen in the press, read in some classics,
or In books of higher learning. For such purpose there are
many highly specialized volumes costly and hard to obtain
by the average person.

It is to meet such needs for a comprehensive, compact and
inexpensive volume that this edition of the New American
Encyclopedia has been prepared for the Cosmopolitan Press,
under the direction of Dr. Sandor Kaufmann, Editor in Chief
of the American Jewish Encyclopedia, of which Volume I is
now in circulation. All references on the subjects outlined
above and other related subjects are alphabetically arranged.
This deluxe volume should be found on the desk of every
executive, preacher, speaker and on the desks of all other
professional men.

THE MICHIGAN BNAI BRITH Council was organized in 1935
by the lodges in the state. The Michigan Council is a District Grand
Lodge in miniature, doing the same work throughout the state as the
Grand Lodge does throughout the District.
At the present time there are 24 lodges included in the council
(the lodges in Calumet, Iron Mountain, Iron River and Marquette are
part of the Upper Wisconsin Council. The lodge in Ironwood is in-
cluded In the Minnesota-Wisconsin Council).
The Michigan Council is recognized as the most unusual and ex-
ceptional State Council in the District. Many innovations were insti-
tuted by the Michigan Council which have contributed materially
toward the building of Jewish leaders of the future and assisting
