Dealers in Scrap Materials 3195 BELLEVUE WA 2-2720 A man of learning, and a man of action, Israel Friedlaender was one of those multi-gifted men of genius at the turn of the American century who, through their scholar- ship and inspired leadership, did so much to form the character of the fledgling Jewish community. An intellectual titan who was one of the foremost Hebraic and Ara- bic scholars of his age, his dedica- tion to his people drove him be- yond the cloistered academic life into the wider arena of com- munity leadership. All problems that involved the well-being of his people engaged his passionate in- terest. The education of Jewish youth, the promulgation of the Zionist ideal, the unity of Israel, the rescue of persecuted Jewry— these are all areas to which Fried- laender contributed so much in active participation. And beyond these activities he produced within a brief and brilliant lifetime many significant works of scholarship. a St JULSULSII.M.9.S.9 QS..Q.S.SSSUL32212.5/.9.1krn.9..R.Q.J.JULSLCULQ.JULQ.
