Reading of Weisberg's Poetry Eulogizes Him
Poetry by Jeffrey Weisberg eulo-
gized the popular young Detroiter at
funeral services marking his untimely
death, Sunday morning, at Ira Kauf-
man Chapel.
Jeffrey, a native Detroiter, who
would have reached his 26th birthday
on April 5, died March 17. He is sur-
vived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Harvey (Lucille) Weisberg; three
brothers Roger, Daniel and Barry,
and grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Peter
(Clara) Weisberg.
A poem Jeffrey Weisberg had writ-
ten from Jerusalem, with a message
of love to his closest friend, Harold
Caminker, was read by Caminker dur-
ing the funeral service. The poem,
"Jerusalem," follows:
Jerusalem
(to Harold Caminker)
My friend wakes up this morning
quietly and peacefully, unlike most
previous mornings.
Yet, the greeting, tired eyes seem to
say that some astonishment,
some strange astonishment and excite-
ment have captured them.
And I (too) know the dream, the an-
cient
dream that lights his silent vision,
that ignites his spirit once again...
Jerusalem, the Temple of all hope,
the magic of timeless love, the teach-
er
inviting the entrance of a small,
crumbled, yet noble boy,
seeking manhood and the kingship of
his
Destiny—
asking of him the age-old observances
alone,
only rituals for its riches,
only the language of peace for its car-
nival ride,
only the right word for its explana-
tion.
Its answer
Jericho fell, Jerusalem stood
and still stands
a destination
my friend,
may you arrive
in peace—
Shalom
Caminker, who is a graduate rabbi-
nical student at Hebrew Union Col-
lege-Jewish Institute of Religion, Cin-
cinnati, concluded his eulogy with the
final words of this poem, with a "Sha-
lom" to the departed as a farewell.
Close friends from their first birth-
days, Caminker brought to the daily
services a thick volume of more than
500 poems, including "Jerusalem,"
and daily read one of the poems.
In addition to the volume, Jeffrey
Weisberg authored a poetic work,
"The Midnight House, - illustrated by
David S. Mash.
Jeffrey Weisberg earned his BA and
MA degrees at the University of Mich-
igan where, at the time of his death,
he was working on his PhD degree.
He taught school in Miami and at
Cong. Shaarey Zedek here, having
served for two years as youth director
of the Detroit congregation with
which his family is closely affiliated.
Jeffrey was active in other Shaarey
Zedek affairs and served as vice presi-
dent of the junior congregation.
Also officiating at the funeral serv-
ices were Rabbis Irwin Groner and
Gerald Teller and Cantor Jacob Bark-
in.
