Edward Superstine's Death
WZO, Hadassah Leader Faye Schenk Dies Recalls Israeli Pioneering
vived by his wife, ,Shimona;
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Faye Schenk, a prominent
Zionist leader, died Aug. 11.
She was the head of the
World Zionist Organiza-
tion's organization depart-
ment and had been residing
in Israel since 1978.
In a lifetime of service
spanning some four de-
cades, Mrs. Schenk held
major positions of Zionist
leadership, including the
presidency of Hadassah and
the American Zionist Fed-
eration before making
aliya.
She was born in Des
Moines, Iowa, Aug. 17, 1909
to Naphtali and Rebecca
Henz Zelchik. She earned
her BA and MA 'degrees
from Drake University, and
in 1933 married Rabbi Max
Schenk.
Her devotion to the
creative survival of
Jewish peoplehood was
formed and focused, in
large measure by two late
giants of the American
rabbinate: Her father,
renowned talmudic
scholar, Rabbi Zelchik,
and her husband, Rabbi
Schenk, a communal
leader who served as
president of the Zionist
Federation of Australia
and New Zealand and of
the New York Board of
Rabbis.
After graduation from
Drake,_ where she later
taught, she and her hus-
band lived in Sydney, Au-
stralia, for 10 years. During
that time she held leader-
ship positions in WIZO, the
Women's International
Zionist Organization. The
couple returned to the
United States in 1949 and
settled in New York.
Mrs. Schenk soon became
active in Hadassah and held
many major national posts
prior to her election as
president.
She also served as vice
chairman of the National
Council of the American Is-
rael Public Affairs Commit-
tee, a Hadassah delegate to
five World Zionist Congres-
ses and a member of the
