THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Friday, April 5, 1968-23

Shevitz

son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Tigay, will present a first-hand
report of their activities and ex-
periences at the seminary.
Shevitz received his primary
Jewish education through private
lessons in Hebrew, Bible, Talmud
and literature with Michael Mich-
lin. After nine years of private
study he attended for two years
the Midrasha and high school divi-
sions of United Hebrew Schools.
During his years at Cass Technical
High School, from which he gradu-
ated with a music major in June,
1967, he was a member and officer
of Adas Shalom Synagogue's
United Synagogue Youth Chapter
and participated in several youth
projects.
In September 1967, he entered
the combined program of the
seminary's Teacher's Institute
and Columbia University, where
he is currently majoring in Tal-
mud and philosophy. Upon
graduation he hopes to enter the
rabbinical school and concentrate
in the field of rabbinic literature.
Tigay attended the United He-
brew Schools through the high
school departments and graduated
from Mumford High School in 1959.
He was enrolled at the Seminary
College of Jewish Studies from
1959 to 1963 and in the latter year
received his BA degree from
Columbia University.
Thereafter, he entered the semi-
nary's School of Judaica, obtain-
ing his master of Hebrew litera-
ture degree in 1966.
Since that time, he has been a
student in the rabbinical depart-
ment and is to be ordained this
June. In addition to his rabbinical
degree, he is working toward a
PhD in ancient Near Eastern lan-
guages, history, culture and re-
ligion, studies which he has been
pursuing, both at the University of
Pennsylvania from 1964 to 1965 and
currently at Yale University.
Tigay has taught Bible at the
seminary since 1965, first in the
preparatory department of the
school of Judaica, from 1965 to
1967, and presently in the school
of Judaica itself. He has served
as a counselor and teacher at
Camps Ramah in Wisconsin and
Pennsylvania and was employed
by the seminary's Melton Research
Center from 1963-1967 writing cur-
riculum materials in Bible.
Tigay and his wife, the former
Helene Lois Zubkoff of Buffalo,
live in New York City and have a
son, Eytan Amichai, who was born
last August.
