Rabbi Herbert Parzen,
Rabbi Herbert Parzen, with a
career in the pulpit, as author, or-
ganizer of Young Judaea, and
multiple Jewish identifications
on a national scale, died April 9 at
age 88.
Surviving are his wife, Sylvia;
two brothers, George and Louis;
and a sister, Mrs. Aaron (Flor-
ence) Friedman.
He gained national recognition
with his published works on Con-
servative Judaism, the Hebrew
University and a score of mono-
graphs that entailed many years
of research on Zionism, theologi-
cal and Jewish historical subjects.
Born in Poland in 1896, he came
with his family to the United
States in 1909. His father was
among the organizers of the
Jewish community which cen-
tered in the El Moshe synagogue
on Michigan Avenue and 29th St.
A 1919 University of Michigan
graduate, he specialized in ac-
countancy. His Jewish devotions,
however, led him to the study of
the Talmud and dedicated Heb-
raic linguistics, and he entered
the Jewish Theological Seminary
in 1921, and was ordained rabbi in
1926. At his death he was the last
surviving member of the JTS
class that was ordained that year.
Between the years of his
graduation from the University of
Michigan and his enrollment in
Anna Shewach
Anna (Enky) Shewach, an
active member of the Jewish Na-
tional Fund, who received two
Golden Book inscriptions, died
March 31 in Los Angeles, Calif.
She was 101.
Born in Wishtenits, Lithuania,
Mrs. Shewach came to Montreal,
Que., in 1912 and Detroit in 1922.
She was a member of Hadassah,
United Hebrew Schools and B'nai
Zion. She was recognized by the
U.S. government for her effort in
the bond drive for three consecu-
tive years during World War II.
She is survived by three sons,
Joseph of Southfield, Harry of
Farmington Hills and Henry of
West Bloomfield; two daughters,
Mrs. Harold (Dorothy) Shrier of
Beverly Hills, Calif., and Mrs.
Abe (Helen) Goldberg of
Bakersfield, Calif.; 13
grandchildren and 21 great-
grandchildren.

Morris
Epstein, . retired
president of Detroit Allied Paper
(now AJM Packing Corp.), died
April 5 at age 70.
A resident of West Bloomfield,
Mr. Epstein was a member of the
Hundred Club, a supporter of the
Allied Jewish Campaign and
other Jewish causes and received
a plaque from the Covenant Club
of B'nai B'rith, a fund-raising arm
of the organization. He retired in
1983.
He is survived by his wife,
Jeanette; two sons, Robert
Burgess of Tucson, Ariz., and Col-
lin Burgess of Osage Beach, Mo.;
two brothers, Abram and Mack; a
sister, Mrs. Maurice (Belle) Ro-
sender; and one grandson.
Rabbi Herbert Parzen
the Jewish Theological Seminary,
he was among the most active
leaders here in the Young Judaea
movement. It was as fellow lead-
ers of Young Judaea clubs that
the love affair developed with
Sylvia Goldsmith. They were
married 61 years ago last Sep-
tember.
Rabbi Parzen's early pulpits
were in St. Paul, Minn., and Port-
land, Ore. He was for many years
chaplain for the blind, handi-
capped and elderly.
For more than a decade he was
associated with Herzl Institute
and Herzl Press and in that
capacity he conducted much re-
search for the publication of the
history of Conservative Judaism
and for numerous monographs on
the Hebrew University and its
founders. One such study dealt at
length with Albert Einstein's re-
jection of an offer to be president
of the university in Jerusalem
and the disputes that marked the
deliberations.
With a lifelong family back-
ground in Zionism, Rabbi and
Mrs. Parzen shared activities in
the Zionist Organization and the
Jewish National Fund. The Par-
zen JNF Forest in Israel honored
their 60th wedding anniversary.
Judaica Cache
Found In NY
New York (JTA) — More than a
dozen silver Torah scroll orna-
ments were discovered last week
when professional safecrackers
opened a huge safe in the base-
ment of the once-fluorishing El-
dridge Street Synagogue on Man-
hattan's Lower East Side. Apprai-
sal experts from both the Sotheby
and Christies auction houses es-
timated the ritual objects to be
worth about $30,000-$40,000.
According to Betty Sandler,
secretary of the Eldridge Street
project, the religious ornaments
found in the largest of the four
safes located in the synagogue
basement included a Torah crown
with a gold filigre, three pairs of
Torah finials, four breast plates
and six Torah pointers.
The 98-year-old synagogue has
not been used for services since
World War II and most Jews have
since departed the neighborhood.
One of the smaller safes contained
dozens of books, including a 150-
year-old tractata from the Tal-
mud, printed in Warsaw.
