Jewish War Veterans

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE; DEPARTMENT CONVENTION
Department of Michigan Commander Sanford Rosenthal, of the Jewish War Vete-
rans, urges all members of the Detroit area Jewish Community to join with his
organization in the sacred observance of Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, 1979 at
services at Machpelah Cemetery, beginning promptly at 10:00 AM. Commander
Rosenthal has also announced that the Community is cordially invited to attend the
Opening of the Department's 38th Annual Convention at 8:00 PM on Friday, June
1st at the Northland Inn. This Oneg Shabbot will include Friday night religious
services; introduction of dignitaries of the military, veterans organizations, officials of
every level of government; the awarding of Scholarships to many young men and
women for the pursuit of their college aspirations. A nominal charge for refresh-
ments.

"We must never forget those who made the supreme sacrifice in American wars,"
stated Commander Rosenthal, "and as Jews, we pay particular homage to our
heroic Jewish war dead. We of the Jewish War Veterans are the custodians of the
records of their war deeds, but the entire Jewish community basks in the glory of
their achievements, therefore one hour a year to remember their names and
achievements is, in the very least, the duty and obligation of everyone. We have
placed American flags on each of their graves in the Detroit Metro area in every
cemetery, but the official ceremony will be at Machpelah." A short service will also be
conducted at 8:00 am at Oak Park City Hall.

Auxiliary President Diana Joffe mentioned that "as we pay our respectes to the
Holocaust victims and valiant Israeli war dead at appropriate times during the year,
we can NEVER allow ourselves to forget our fallen men and women of American
wars, who gave us this great legacy ... America."

JWV Memorial Home Association President Jay Schwartz announced that the
Shrine for the Michigan Jewish War Dead at 16990 W. Twelve Mile Road in
Southfield will be open between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm on Monday, May 28th

And He shall judge between the nations,
And shall decide for many peoples;
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning-hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war any more.
