Butzel Award
Continued from Page 1
Hadassah," Jackier explains.
That involvement, for Joseph
Jackier, led to leadership
positions with the Federation
Board of Governors, the
United Jewish Charities and
its Federated Endowment
Fund, and Federation's
Executive Committee. He
was also first president of
Jewish Federation Apart-
ments and is a board
member of Sinai Hospital
and the Holocaust Memorial
Center, and a past board
member of the Jewish Com-
munity Center and Cong.
Shaarey Zedek.
During fund-raising efforts
for the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign, Jackier often uses a
lesson taught him by his
father in the 1920s. "My
father had a successful shoe
store in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
He was comfortable, but not
rich. The Jewish communal
leaders tried to put him on
the spot at a fund-raising
meeting, but he challenged
them by pledging to contrib-
ute ten percent of what the
whole community raised."
Edythe Jackier, a native of
Bayonne, N.J., met her hus-
band at the University of
Michigan. Her initial work
with Hadassah blossomed
into the presidency of Sher-
wood Group and Hadassah
House. She is a past board
member of the National
Council of Jewish Women
and the Sisterhood of
Shaarey Zedek.
She served two years as
president of the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation Women's Di-
vision, and also served as a
Detroit representaive to the
National Women's Division
of the Council of Jewish Fed-
erations. Mrs. Jackier has
also been a member of Fed-
eration's Executive Commit-
tee and Board of Governors,
and served on the Task Force
on Community-Based Serv-
ices to the Non-
Institutionalized Elderly. She
is currently associate chair-
man of Federation's Commu-
nity Services Division and a
member of the Conference of
Division Chairmen, and is
active with United Commu-
nity Services.
"The nice thing about
this," Mrs. Jackier said, "Is
that both of us are from
other cities. We had no fam-
ily here, and just a few
friends. We've established
real roots here. It's a wonder-
ful community, and it's a
pleasure being a part of it."
She credited "the special
people who'nurtured us" for
their communal involvement,
mentioning Dora Ehrlich —
"The great lady of the
Jewish community" — and
her husband's legal associ-
ates, Henry Butzel, William
Friedman, Hy Meyers and
Myron Keys.
Sharing the Butzel Award
with her husband has great
significance for Mrs. Jackier
"because being involved to-
gether has been very spe-
cial."
Joe Jackier told The
Jewish News that the Butzel
Award "is just the beginning,
This is not a
reward for past
efforts, but
continued and
future efforts."
not the end. This is not a
reward for past efforts, but
continued and future efforts.
Now we have to work har-
der."
Those efforts include Is-
rael's universities, such as
Bar-Ilan, Technion and He-
brew U. Jackier recently re-
ceived the Jewish Theologi-
cal Seminary's Distinguished
Service Award and an hon-
orary fellowship from Techn-
ion.
The Jewish community
will honor the Jackiers'
achievements at the 59th
annual meeting of the
Jewish Welfare Federation,
7:30 p.m. Sept. 9 at the main
Jewish Community Center.
Although the Jackiers are
the first husband-and-wife
team to be honored since the
Butzel Award was inaugu-
rated in 1951, past recipients
have included brothers Tom
and Abraham Borman, and
sister- and brother-in-law
Frieda (Mrs. Max) Stollman
and Philip Stollman.

Jerusalem bus stop by a
knife-wielding Arab student in
July is shown waiting for
medical attention.
