Acquires World
Fair Exhibit Area
The Merkos L'lnyonei Chin-
uch, the educational arm of the
Lubavitcher movement, dis-
closed that it has contracted an
exhibit area at the New York
World's Fair.
Merkos is the first Jewish
organization to contract space
ar the Fair, and the only
Jewish group to acquire more
than the minimum exposition
space. A spokesman for the
movement stated that Merkos
leased two exhibit areas on
both floors of the Hall of Edu-
cation pavilion.
The Lubavitcher exhibit will
portray the history, develop-
ment and growth of the Cha-
bad-Lubavitch movement since
its inception nearly 200 years
ago, with emphasis on its cur-
rent world wide activities. Its
publications department, the
largest among all existing Jew-
ish organizations, will exhibit
its educational literature which
will also be available on the
Fair premises.
The pavilion will be located
opposite the Fountain of Plan-
ets between the IBM and Bell
Telephone buildings.
The exhibit will be closed
on Saturdays and Jewish
holidays.
The Lubavitcher movement
is headed by the Lubavitcher
Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M.
Schneerson, with world head-
quarters in New York City. It
is the largest Hassidic group in
the world.

Historical Marker Approved Sandra Lee Harelik
to Wed Arthur Foster
to Commemorate Settling
of Michigan's First Jew
Erection of a roadside
marker commemorating the
settling of Michigan's first Jew,
Ezekiel Solomon, has been ap-
proved by the Michigan His-
torical Commission.
Site of the marker, the first
one in the state to honor a Jew,
will be Fort Michilimackinac,
Mackinaw City.
Announcement of the ap-
proval w as made by Dr.
Emanuel Applebaum, president
of the Jewish Historical So-
ciety of Michigan, which spon-
sored the project.
The inscription on the
marker, pr e p ar e d by Dr.
George S. May, archivist for
the commission, will read:
"Ezekiel Solomon, a native
of Berlin, Germany, who had
served with the British army,
arrived at Michilimackinac in
the summer of 1761. He is
Michigan's first known resi-
dent of the Jewish faith.
Solomon was one of the most
active Mackinac fur traders
until his death about 1808.
He was one of those who nar-
rowly escaped death in the
massacre of 1763. During
the Revolutionary War, he
and other hard-pressed
traders pooled their re-
sources to form a general
store. In 1784 he was a mem-
ber of a committee of eight
formed to regulate the Mack-
inac area trade. Ezekiel Solo-
mon's business often took
him to Montreal where he is
believed to have been buried
and where he was a member
of Canada's first Jewish con-
gregation, Shearith Israel."
Plans are being made to ded-
icate the marker in the near
future with appropriate cere-
monies, according to Allen A.
Warsen, chairman of the
marker committee.
The Jewish Historical So-
ciety of Michigan is open for
membership to anyone inter-
ested in Michigan Jewish his-
tory. For information, write
Irving I. Katz, membership
chairman, 8801 Woodward. Mr.
Katz also is editor of the offi-
cial society publication, "Mich-
igan Jewish History."
