THE HEBREW LADIES' SEWING SOCIETY was organized in
11- Detroit in 1882, shortly after the arrival of a group of Jewish
refugees from Russia who fled because of the persecutions insti-
gated by the. Russian government.
The founder of the society was Simon Heavenrich. At his
instance, Dr. Henry Zirndorf, Rabbi of Temple Beth El, called a
meeting on Aug. 20, 1882, to
elikrm a society "fur the purpose
alleviating the distressed con-
dition of the Russian exiles, both
morally and physically."
• The meeting was attended by
Dr. Zirndorf, who acted as chair-
man, Simon Heavenrich, and
Mesdames Seligman Schloss,
