In 1930 he established a wholesale drug business, which is today one of the foremost in the country. The history of Morris Karbal's life is, in miniature, a develop- ment of the City of Detroit. His parents, Samuel and Esther Golda, when they came to this country in 1905, settled in Peoria, Illinois. Shortly there- after they moved with their nine children to Detroit, where they were associated with the Mullet Street Synagogue. As conditions improved, the family moved to Benton and Antoine, where his father established the Benton Street Synagogue. Always a devout family, they were instrumental in the estab- lishment of the first Old Folks Home in Detroit, on Edmund and Brush, and the Jewish Hospital Asso- ciation. Mr. Karbal always proudly maintained that his association with charitable and communal institu- tions stems from the example set by his parents. He looks back nostalgically to the time when he would chauffeur his father to bring food, coal and other necessities for the Sabbath, to impoverished homes in the Oakland area. Education and help to the indigent were given in his parents' home, and Mr. Karbal prides himself today on his many faceted interests in this area. He has established a loan fund to help students in need of pursuing their profes- sion, and constantly fulfills the highest Torah pre- cepts by enabling people to establish their own business through his aid. Yeshivoth in this country and in Israel receive his generous support and in many congregations in Detroit will be found a plaque Mr. Julius Rotenberg is general chairman of the Annual Banquet, Co-Chairman is Mr. Morris J.
