The golden wedding anniver-
sary of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Shevitz last weekend was a
double celebration, in that it
marked not only 50 years of de-
votion by Mr. and Mrs. Shevitz
to each other and to their family,
but as many years of dedicated
effort .to their community and
fellow Jews.
Although both c o m e from
Crodno Province in Poland, they
met here in Detroit, and were
married Dec. 3, 1905. Mr. Shevitz
came here in 1892, two years after
his parents. His future wife, the
former Anna . Levin, came to
America in 1902.
For over 40 years Mr. Shevitz
has been engaged in the real
estate and building business here.
He was particularly active in the
development of the Dexter boule-
vard area when it emerged as
the focal point of the Jewish
community. -
Active in major communal ac-
tivities, Mr. Shevitz has been par-
tidularly prOininexit in synagogue
life, ,being one of the founders
, Gray Gordon Nuptials
Plan;ied for Next Fall
and later, president of Cong.

At the time of its very begin-
ning, Mr. and Mrs. Shevitz de-
layed moving into their new home
so the congregation could have its
use for High Holiday and daily
rninyan services. :
Many years later, Mr. Shevitz
joined and became president of
Cong. Emanuel. He was an active
force in its merger with Cong.
Beth Tefilo, and served for many
years as the president of Cong.
Beth Tefilo Emanuel, the Taylor
Street Shul. -
He has • also worked many
years in behalf of the com-
munity's educational institutions,
serving the United Hebrew
Schools when its first building
was erected at Kirby and St. An-
toine.
He also was an active support-
er of the Yeshivath Beth Yehudah
when it was established on Dex :
ter and COrtland. He is still a
member of the Yeshivah board of
directors, and is also on the
Vaad . Hayeshivoth.
Mrs. Shevitz is a charter mem-
ber of the Detroit Council of
Pioneer Women, a long-time
member -of the Ladies Auxiliary
of the United Hebrew Schools and
a member of Hadassah.
Helping their parents to cele-
brate the -anniversary were their
four children, Mrs. Joseph Lee,
Mrs. Walter Klein, - Sidney M.

gfandchildren. They have an-
other daughter, Mrs. Ben-Zion
