THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

ostal' Authority on Jewish
Mayors of American Cities

rp

By RABBI SAMUEL
M. SILVER

(A Seven Arts Feature)

Bernard Postal knows
just about everything that
can be known about Ameri-
can Jewish history — and a
lot of other things too.
In case you don't know
who Postal is, he is the dean
of American Jewish publi-
cists, and an author as well.
We have some fine histo-
rians of American Jewry,
most of them rabbis, like
Jacob Marcus, Bertram
Korn, Abraham Karp et al.,
but even these professionals
will admit that Bernie
Postal is a walking
encyclopedia.
Postal has done public
relations for Bnai Brith,
and for the Jewish Wel-
fare Board. He helps edit
the Jewish Digest and the
Jewish Week.
His books are baedekers
of American Jewish histori-
cal sites. He's done one on
Europe, and another on the
Caribbean. He is co-author
of a gripping narrative of
the birth of Israel, "The
Hills Shouted for Joy."
As soon as Kansas City
elected its first Jewish
mayor, Richard Berkley re-
cently, Postal sent a piece to
all papers listing all of the
other Jewish mayors who
have led American cities,
from Murray Seasongood of
Cincinnati, to Dianne
Feinstein, who became
mayor of San Francisco fol-
owing the tragic death of
Moscone. Postal informs us

that two other Jews (Adolph
Sutro and Ben Steinman) _
have sat in the City Hall of
San Francisco.
The list of big cities which
have been graced by Jewish
first citizens, according to
Postal, are: Cincinnati
(which had six of them),
New York, Atlantic City,
Rochester, Dallas, Omaha,
Atlanta, Portland (Ore.),
St. Paul, Newark, Min-
neapolis, Miami, Albuquer-
que, Toledo, El Paso, Gal-
veston, Tucson, Phoenix,
Sacramento, Fargo, Chat-
tanooga, Seattle and Salt
Lake City. To which I add
Stamford, Conn. (Julius
Wilensky) and Greenville,
S.C. (Max Heller).
