Madel eine Lewin-Epstein Dies in Israel
Madeleine Lewin-Epstein, one of
the most distinguished women in
Israel, who was the first American
woman to join the Hadassah Med-
ical Unit that went to Palestine
during World War I, in 1918, died
in Jerusalem two weeks ago.
Mrs. Lewin-Epstein, in addition
to her services as the first Hadas-
sah nurse in Palestine, became
famous as a hostess after her
marriage to Dr. Samuel Lewin-
Epstein, a brother of the late
Mrs. Abraham M. Hershman of
Detroit. Mrs. Lewin - Epstein's
father-in-law was head of the
Medical Unit.
She retained the role of hostess
after Israel's emergence to state-
hood. Her knowledge of the land,
her Zionist b a c k g r o u n d, her
`harm, contributed to making her
nome among the most prominent
social centers in the Holy City.
She is survived by, besides her
husband, a son, Dr. Jacobs Lewis-
Epstein, who studied in this coun-
try at the University of Michigan
and the University of Pennsyl-
vania. Another son, Noah, died in
action in the last war.
In a tribute to Mrs. Lewin-
Epstein, Zionist leader Rose Hal
prin said:
"A gallant human being, warm
of heart, intrepid in danger, a
trained nurse with extraordinary
tenderness and goodness in rela-
tion to the sick and suffering• a
woman whose physical beauty was
lit up by inner qualities . . . she
will long serve for those who knew
her as example and guide."
During the War of Liberation,
Mrs. Halprin turned her home,
which was almost on the Jordanian
border, into a hospital for the
wounded. Working with ouly two
untrained Haganah girls, she per-
formed both medical and nursing
duties, even setting limbs and per-
forming simple operations.
She helped set up hospitals and
was actively involved in aid to
children.
