A Great Teacher Mourns Rabbi Morris Adler
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
(Continued from Page One)
In a philosophical discourse in
which he evaluated the Jewish tra-
ditional interpretation of humane-
ness, the noted scholar declared
that he had come to Detroit to ad-
dress the memorial meeting be-
cause "Rabbi Adler was precious
to me," and "out of great respect
for Mrs. Adler." He described
Rabbi Adler as brilliant, as having
possessed "a deep capacity for
sympathy for the oppressed."
"His unique love for Tora and
especially for Hebrew learning
distinguished him in our midst,"
Dr. Heschel said. He paid tribute
to Rabbi Adler's application of
high standards not only to others
but also to himself.
Dr. Heschel in the course of his
address read portions of the article
on "The Rabbi" by Rabbi Adler.
That article appeared in The Jew-
ish News in the Passover 1966
issue.
Referring again to Mrs. Adler,
Dr. Heschel said "she showed her
greatness by her compassion for
the poor parents" of the deluded
young man whose act resulted in
the tragedy.
Asserting that Rabbi Adler
was "committed to a heritage
that despised violence," Dr.
Heschel urged that "we dedicate
ourselves to a movement to pre-
vent the public sale of weapons."
Rabbi Groner conducted the
service and led in responsive read-
ings of Psalms and of the special
prayer to be recited responsively,
"In Memoriam," which was corn-
posed in April, 1963, by Rabbi
Adler.
In his address of tribute, Rabbi
Groner expressed the sense of his
personal loss and said "when a
great man dies it is his generation
that suffers the greatest loss." He
declared that "the composition of
Rabbi Adler's greatness defies
definition."
"He devoted his life to his con-
gregation and in the end gave his
life to his congregation," he said.
He reviewed the many "benefac-
tors of his wisdom," told of the
score of institutions that were "en-
riched by his labors," and declared
that "in him Jewish tradition lived

on."
Like Prof. Heschel, he spoke
with "admiration for the under-
standing, courage and faith that
Mrs. Adler has demonstrated."
He referred to the "demonic force"
that struck down Rabbi Adler.
"Let no task be too small for us
as we move forward to advance

An interesting story related to the awarding of the Morris
Adler Prize by the American Academy for Jewish Research
comes from Nathan Ziprin, editor of the Seven Arts Feature
Syndicate:
Dr. Saul Lieberman, president of the academy, in announc-
ing the naming of the Adler prize, recalled that a year before
his death, Rabbi Adler called Dr. Lieberman and "asked how
come the academy had neglected to ask him for a contribution
so long.
"Dr. Lieberman of course replied that the academy, like
all Jewish institutions of learning, was in need of money. 'How
much?' asked Rabbi Adler, and Dr. Lieberman thought he was
daring when he suggested a sum of $3,000.
" 'No,' replied Dr. Adler, 'I'll tell you what I'll do with
you; I'll settle for $5,000.'
"It was for this beautiful gesture that the Academy decided
to name its first prize after Dr. Adler."
