Young Israel. Among the institutions receiving
major support from him, he numbers Telshe Yeshiva
in Cleveland and Chicago, Beth Hamedrash Gevohah
in Lakewood, Ner Israel Rabbinical Academy in
Baltimore, Yeshivah University in New York, and
Bar Ilan University in Israel. He was a past presi-

and has made a significant contribution to the
Allied Jewish Campaign, Old Folks Home, and
other Jewish and non-Jewish communal organiza-
tions.
Mr. Karbal, upon notification of the award
stated, "My interest in people and institutions and
my desire to share my wherewithal with them stems
from the examples set by my parents under condi-
tions much less favorable than those prevalent today
and I accept this honor as a further mark of
appreciation to their eternal memory."
The auditorium will be dedicated by Mr. and
Mrs. Karbal in memory of Samuel and Esther Golde
Karbal.
The auditorium in the Vaad Building is used
for Torahand Cultural meetings, lectures, and
she'urim. The study of the "Daf Yomi" takes place
in this hall, every evening except Friday.

and educated in Detroit, in 1925 he was employed
by the Brownie Drug Co., as a pharmacist. 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
