Detroit Leaders Plan Events for Weizmann Jubilee Year
The Detroit Division of the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science
proudly joins with Jewish communities the world over to celebrate a joyful event in
Jewish history — the Jubilee Year in the life of this reknowned Institute of Science bear-
ing the name of its founder — Israel's statesman-scientist Chaim Weizmann.
This is an endeavor in which the Jewish community of Detroit can rejoice as an act
of renewal that carries forward the historic actions of its leaders who early-on shared
Doctor Weizmann's vision of a Jewish state in which Science would have a basic role in its
development and building.
Thanks to the generous support and early leadership provided by our own Marlene
and Paul Borman, Suzanne and Daniel Honigman, and Vivian and Louis Berry there

research and development. The home of a faculty of world famous scientists, it has pro-
