THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS-20
Dr. Aronstam to Celebrate
85th Birthday on Feb. 18
DR. NOAH E. ARONSTAM
poems having appeared in jour-
nals not only in this country
but also in all English-speaking
lands and in Israel.
On his 85th birthday, which
he will celebrate Feb. 18, Dr.
Aronstam is planning a number
of essays on medicine in the
Bible and still writes deeply-
stirring poetry.
Dr. Noah E. (the E is for
Ephraim) Aronstam is a doctor
of medicine, a specialist in der-
matology until his retirement
only a short time ago, but the
title "doctor" well could stand
for PhD, a distinction he has
earned with his scholarly inter-
ests, works and writings.
Born in Libau, Latvia, Dr.
Aronstam came to Detroit when
he was 20 years-old. In 1898,
his MD degree was conferred
upon him by the University of
Michigan college of medicine.

Later, he took post-graduate
courses at the University of Ber-
lin.
A year after his graduation as
a doctor he married the former
Sarah Blumberg—on June 20,
1899. Two years after the couple
celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary Mrs. Aronstam died.
His wife, one-time president
of Detroit Hadassah, shared her
husband's interest in commu-
nity projects and progress. Their
friends knew her as an inspira-
tion to her husband in his con-
stant search for enlightenment
and introspection.
Dr. Aronstam's daughter,
Theodora Judith, is married to
Dr. Louis Perelman, a New York
psychiatrist. They have two chil-
dren.
A member of the Michigan
and Wayne County Medical As-
sociation, Dr. Aronstam served
for several years as a professor
of dermatology and urology at
the U. of M.
He was co-founder and in
1916 served as president of the
Maimonides Medical Society,
and belongs to the American
Medical Editors Association.
His interest in the reality of
a Jewish homeland precedes the
beginning of the present cen-
tury, when he organized num-
erous Zionist groups in Detroit.
In 1917 and again in 1919 he was
president of the Zionist Organ-
ization of Detroit.
Dr. Aronstam also was a
founder of the Detroit Philo-
sophical Society, and in 1932 he
was chairman of the Michigan
Spinoza Tri-Centennial Com-
mittee.
In collaboration with an-
other Detroiter, Louis James
Rosenberg, Dr. Aronstam co-
authored "Sociologic Studies"
in 1902. He then went on to
write "Jewish Dietary Laws
from a Scientist's Viewpoint,"
a book which has been widely
quoted for nearly two gen-
erations.
He published a novel, "Lost
Nation," in 1942, and his works
on medical subjects have flowed
so freely from his pen that the
bibliography alone would take
many columns of space to re-
produce.
It is for so many activities—in
medicine, in cultural pursuits, in
societies and organizations and
in literary area s—that Dr.
Aronstam will justly receive
greetings from his friends, col-
leagues and associates- on his
85th birthday.
