Rabbi Isaac Stollman to Say Farewell
to Community He Served 40 Years
Forty years of service to the
Orthodox Jewish community
comes to an end this month with
the departure of Rabbi Isaac Stoll-
man for his new home in Israel.
Recognized equally for his salt-
and-pepper beard and black frock
coat, Rabbi Stollman is almost a
symbol of the Religious Zionist
movement — he served as first
president of the newly-merged
Mizrachi-Hapoel Hamizrachi and
now is fulfilling a dream to live in
the Jewish State.
Rabbi Stollman, 69, spiritual
leader of Cong. Mishkan Israel
and organizer 32 years ago of De-
troit's Council of Orthodox Rabbis
(Vaad Harabonim), has many
duties awaiting him in Jerusalem.
Starting in September, he will
be dean of the new Yeshiva of
Radin, located at the seaside
city of Natanya. Rabbi Stoll-
man describes the yeshiva as
"especially dear to my heart"
not only because he helped
organize it, but because it is
named for the first school he
attended, at Radin, Russia.
Two buildings already stand
there, and Rabbi Stollman hopes
one day to have an entire village
where "Detroit boys can learn
and feel at home."
Born in Rubel, Russia, Rabbi
Stollman founded a yeshiva in
Mozir and served as rabbi in
Ozarich before coming to this
country in 1924.
Although his association with
Mishkan Israel is as long as his
years of residence here, Rabbi
Stollman also headed Beth
Aaron v'Israel on Elmhurst for
a time after arriving as a young
man.
He saw the Yeshivath Beth
Yehudah grow from an afternoon
Talmud Torah to an all-day school,
serving as its first president from
1938 to 1945.
Now honorary chairman of the
Religious Zionists of America,
Rabbi Stollman was instrumental
in its formation. This year he was
honored by the movement, receiv-
ing its Chief Rabbi Isaac Halevi
Herzog Gold Medal.
In 1957, the Vaad Harabonim,
of which Rabbi Stollman was pres-
ident 10 years, paid tribute to him
at a citywide dinner. The testi-
monial coincided with the publica-
tion of the fourth volume of his
analytical interpretation of the
moral, ethical, and philosophical
aspects of the Bible and Talmud.
Cantor David Bagley, for the past
three years at Cong. Beth Aaron,
has been named chief cantor of
the Mexico City Jewish commun-
ity and resident cantor for the his-
toric Cong. Nidche Israel.

cantor made
