plans and in a period of national
economic depression he succeeded,
with other Shaarey Zedek leaders,
in securing builders' and bankers'
confidence in the good faith of the
congregation whose then enormous
debts were paid in full in the
shortest time, confirming the
splendid relationships that existed
between the synagogue and the
building industry. Mr. Brown
served as a trustee of the congre-
gation.
A native Detroiter, Mr. Brown
worked closely for a number of
years with his late brother, the
world famed David A. Brown who,

Joint Distribution Committee—the
largest fund ever to be raised, up
to that time—for a philanthropic
venture.

and other major Jewish as well as
civic causes.

fisherman, Mr. Brown fished for
