was defending a fellow-Jew in
a brawl. A noted cabinet maker,
Mr. Heyman's father made

OUR FIRST SALE .
Ben F. Goodman, one of the
outstanding leaders in Detroit
Bnai Brith ranks and a prom-
ient figure in congregational ac-
tivities, this week reminisced
about events which led to his
settling in Detroit.
On the eve of his 60th birth-
day, May 1, Goldman said:
"Except for my love and
interest in Palestine, dating
back to boyhood
days, I may
"have never be-
`come a Detroit-
;er. Safely en-
. sconced in an
accounting posi-
tion in Monroe,
Mich., I hap-
pened to read in
a Detroit paper
a notice of the
B. F. Goldman efforts of sever-
al Jewish leaders under the de-
votion of the late Jacob Miller
to recruit a Jewish Palestine
Legion. In July, 1918, I came
here, and severed my Monroe
connections. A few days later,
while waiting for my call I re-
ceived the disappointing news
that the British government re-
jected all Austro-Hungarian ex-
officers."
The late Anton Kaufmann
sponsored his membership in
Congregation Bnai Moshe and,
a bit later, in January 1919, in
Pisgah Lodge of Bnai Brith.,
After holding . the secretaryship
and other offices, he became
president of Pisgah Lodge in
1930 and Bnai Moshe elected
him president in 1936. In 1931
he became, for a brief period,
the chairman of the Jewish
National Fund Council. In 1933
he was named treasurer of the
Kashruth Committee which, un-
der the chairmanship of Dr. A.
M. Hershman, for t h e first
time conducted a comprehen-
sive survey of the kashruth
problem.
Nine years ago he partici-
pated in the formation of the
Jewish Community Council and
served on its executive commit-
tee for three years. He is a
member of the Zionist Organi-
zation and the Detroit Histor-
ical Society.
In 1919, he was married to
Frances Lefkowitz. They have
two sons and a daughter. Their
older son, Albert, is majoring in'
accountancy. Two years ago he
was graduated from Wayne
University which also is the
alma mater of his sister Anne,
who last year obtained her cer-
tificate in Occupational Ther-
apy. She is betrothed to LeRoy
H. Golman and they will be
married on June 12. Their
younger son : Herbert, occupies
a teaching fellowship at the
University of New Mexico, Albu-
querque, while working for his
Master's degree. He is married
and has a daughter, Carol.
Goldman's hobbies are edit-
ing anniversary journals for
Bnai Brith and Bnai Moshe, at-
tending meetings ,.of his organi-
zations and handicrafting at
home.
