Jews, Christians Mourn
Death of Judge Keidan

Men. Women of All Faiths Pay Final Homage;
Dr. Hershman Honors Veteran Jurist
As a Jew and as an American

Judge Harry Ben-Zion Keidan is dead!
The entire community of Jews and Christians was
plunged into a spirit of mourning when this news was
broadcast on Monday morning.
Operated on a week ago Sunday, Judge Keidan, one
of the ablest jurists in America, died at 6 P. M. Sunday,
at Ford Hospital. He would have been 61 on Nov. 1.
The esteem in which he was held by all was evidenced
at the funeral services at Clover Hill Park Cemetery
Tuesday afternoon. Men and women of all faiths were
there to pay final homage to the man they loved and
admired.
All Detroit judges were there, in addition to Judge
Charles C. Simons of the U. S. District Court of Appeals,
the Circuit Court Judges of Macomb and Oakland
Counties and other high state officials.
Dr. Hershman Pays High Tribute
Dr. A. M. Hershman, who, since coming to Detroit 37
years ago, was closely associated in community affairs
and in synagogue activities in Congregation Shaarey
Zedek with Judge Keidan, paid tribute to the genius of
the deceased as a Jew and as an American.
Rabbi Hershman officiated at a brief service for the
family at the home of the deceased, 18925 Parkside, before
the body was taken to the cemetery for interment.
Cantor Jacob H. Sonenklar chanted the El Molei
Rachamim and other appropriate selections at the funeral
services.
Commencing his eulogy by reading Psalm 15, Rabbi
Hershman spoke of Judge Keidan as a "Tzadik"—as a
righteous man who lived by his faith. He pointed out
that the jurist's death occurred on the anniversary of
the death of his sainted mother.
Pallbearers were Henry Meyers and Mortimer I.
Aronson, cousins of Judge Keidan; Jacob Keidan, Cpl.
