the cultural aspects of our life, in addition to developing
a strong philanthropic movement, is due in the main to the GEWERKSHAFTEN CLOSE
understanding and vision of the leaders who have been SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN
Sable to place a desire to serve above partisanship.
Clarence H. Enggass is one of
the prominent figures in this
group. Tireless in all his com-
munity efforts. he never permits
personal preferences for any one
cause to stand in his way of as-
sisting all movements which
serve the public good.
But this is not the only con-
tributing factor to popularity of
Mr. Enggass. His geniality, his
ability to collaborate in commun-
ity efforts with members of the
Yiddish-speaking groups as well
as those of his immediate circle,
his willingness to go anywhere,
serve on any front, as long as
some good may result—these are
attributes which have helped in
the building of the strong Jew-
ish community of Detroit.
Clarence H. Enggass was born
in Detroit on July 15 1883, the
.n of Adolph and Barbara
(Hirschman) Enggass. He attend-
ed the Detroit Public Schools.
In 1903, he entered his father's
business — the Enggass Jewelry
Co. He became secretary of the
firm in 1905 and president in 1923.
At present, Mr. Enggass is
chairman of the board of the
Jewish Welfare Federation. From
1933 to 1938 he served as presi-
dent of the Federation. He is a
member of the boards of the De-
troit Service Group, the United
Jewish Charities, the Jewish So-
cial Service Bureau. He is vice-
president of the Refugee Reset-
tlement Service, an honorar'y
member of the board of the Jew-
ish Community Center, and a
member of the executive commit-
tee of the East Central Region of
the Council of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds.
But his activities are not lim-
ited to Jewish welfare move-
ments. Mr. Enggass is a member
of the board of directors and of
the executive committee of the
Detroit Community Fund. He is
affiliated with the Retail Mer-
chants' Association. the Economic
Club, the Detroit Museum of Arts
Founders' Society and the Board
of Commerce. He also belongs to
the Grill Club, the Franklin Hills
Country Club and the Great
Lakes Club.
The devotion Mr. Enggass
shows to all Jewish cause4 mani-
fested itself several yea ago
when he became a membe of the
Zionist Organization of merica
and served on the e utive
•
board of the Zionist Organization
of Detroit.
A glance at this record will
show at once that Clarence H.
Enggass is active in all directions
for the good of his people and his
community. It is such devotion
that has helped to elevate De-
troit Jewry's standards and to
make this community a leader in
American Israel.
