Judge Rules on 'Technicality' at Machpelah Cemetery Hearing Oakland County Circuit Court Judge James Thor- burn ruled on a "small tech- nicality" Friday at the hear- ing of the suit contesting control of Machpelah Ceme- tery. According to Abe Silver- stein, president of Cong. Beth Jacob-Mogain Abra- ham, a plaintiff congregation along with Cong. Bnai Israel- Beth Yehuda, Judge Thor- burn ruled that depositions presented in the 1960 lawsuit which sought to perpetuate the testimony of the two con- gregations, are not of import to the present case. Silverstein said that in the 1960 hearing, the congrega- tions presented depositions of persons- who were alive when the cemetery was founded, but were no longer living when the case was presented. Silverstein also said that Judge Thorburn gave the plaintiffs until Oct. 15 to re- write a brief proving why the reincorporation of the Oppenheim family in 1940 was illegal. In 1940, the Op- penheim family, the defen- dants in the case, rein corpor- ated under another sta tute, thereby perpetuating them- selves as trustees of the cemetery. The congregations were told by the attorney for the defendants that the statute of limitations had run out — the time allowed for t he con- / gregations to contest the re- incorporation — and that they could no longer take any action. In response, the congregations did contest the reincorporation calling it il- legal because they received no notice of the action. Silverman said, therefore, because there was no notice given the statute could not have run out. , ( The Zionist Organization of Detroit will hold its annual Summer Camp Scholarship Awardees night 8 p.m. Thursday, at the Zionist Cul- tural Center.
