Page Seven THE JEWISH NEWS Friday, August 29, 1947 GUEST - EDITORIAL Congregational Activities Jacob Rogvoy — T ribute By THEODORE BARUCH Seldom is an individual so completely an embodiment of the highest ideals of his profession as was Jacob Rogvoy. The calling of the teacher—both secular and Jewish—was en- nobled by his very affiliation with it. For he was innately an educatorearnest, devoted, high-minded and enthusiastic. No phase of the pedagogue's task—clerical, administrative, disciplinary—was too menial or commonplace not to merit his whole-souled attention. An instructor and administrator in the Congregation Shaarey Zedek Religious School for almost a quarter of a century, he guided and shaped the intellectual and moral growth of hundreds of Jewish adolescents and inspired them with love and veneration for their people's traditions. As a teacher in the Detroit high schools, he played a similar role among thousands of non-Jewish young people. Contact with his personality left one rejuvenated and strengthened in his faith in humankind. Of him, as of the Biblical Enoch, it may be truly written: "He walked with God—and God took him."
