The Bar Mitzva last weekend of Barnett Jacob Leet, son of the
Benson Leets of Oak Park Blvd., was cause for a family reunion on
a grand scale. His great-grandmother, Mrs. Leah Leet, who will
celebrate her 100th . birthday in August, was present for the ceremony
at Young Israel of Oak-Woods. A Detroiter for almost 80 years, Mrs.
Leet has been living with a daughter in Buffalo for the past two years.
She has eight children, 21 grandchildren*, 49 great-grandchildren and
nine great-great-grandchildren. The Bar -Mitzva boy was named for
Mrs. Leet's first husband, who died after 51 years of marriage. His
ring, engraved "B.L.", was Mrs. Leet's gift to her great-grandson.
Mr. and Mrs. Allen D. Ribiat of Coolidge Hwy., Oak Park, recently
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at a melave malka given
in their honor at Cong. Shaarey Shomayim by their children, Mr. and
Mrs. Seymour Ribiat, Dr. and Mrs. Leon Burg, Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin
Magier and Rabbi and Mrs. Arthur Ribiat, of Los Angeles. Cantor
Hyman J. Adler and Max Sosin participated in the program, as well
as Rabbi Leizer Levin, Dr. Magier, Rabbi Ribiat and a grandson,
Reuben Ribiat who attends yeshiva in New York. Other out-of-towners
