able Zionist pioneer, died
July 6 at age 90.
Surviving are a daughter,
Tikvah; a sister, Mrs. Harry
(Laura) Grossman; three
grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren.

gai recalls the history of a
noted family in American
Zionist ranks.

Detroiters as one of-the
most inspired Hebrew
educators and a leader in
Zionist ranks here.

David Ben-Gurion and of
Moshe (Shertok) Sharett
and was an intimate of the
leading Poale Zion founders
