JFCS Cites 'Social Work Dean,'
Harold Silver, for 26-Year Effort

Harold Silver, considered the
"dean of social work" in the
city of Detroit, was cited for
26 years of service as director
of the Jewish Family and Chil-
dren's Service at the organiza-
tion's 34th annual meeting
Sunday.
Along with the inscribed
citation, the JFCS leader was
given a Judaica Library to
mark the oc-
casion.
Silver was
among the
first group to
receive pro -
fessional de-
grees in so-
cial work from
the Graduate
School for
Jewish Social
Silver Work, a pio-
neer school of training for so-
cial welfare workers in the
community.
Currently regional chairman
for the White House Confer-
ence, Silver has held many re-
gional and national posts, be-
ginning in 1934, when he was
elected chairman of the De-
troit Chapter, National Asso-
ciation of Social Workers.
He also has served as board
member, treasurer, vice-presi-
dent and president of the Na-
tional Conference of Jewish
Communal Service, and as
chairman of committees of the
Family Service Association of
America and the Child Wel-
fare League of America.
Under Silver's leadership,
JFCS, formerly the Jewish So-
cial Service Bureau, pioneered
in developing services for chil-
dren, family, aged and new-
comers to America.
During his administration,
the scope of the agency has
grown, and is now a member
group of the FSAA, CWLA,
Jewish Welfare Federation and
United Community Services.
Silver's wife, Feigel, is also
active in the agency's commit-
tee of service to the aging and
they combine their talents in
other communal organizations.
They have a son, Reuben, of
Cleveland, and a daughter,
