Deitch DETROIT MONUMENT WORKS R Mild A Qualih Foods Since 1954 Nathan Perlmutter, ADL Executive Nathan Perlmutter New York (JTA) — Nathan Perlmutter, national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith who was widely cited for his fight against bigotry and discrimi- nation and dedication in to humanitarian causes, died last Sunday of cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center here at age 64. Perlmutter was a recipient last month of the 1987 Presi- dential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian award, for his public service. In March he was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters by Hebrew Union College-Jewish In- stitute of Religion. Perlmutter was an author, lecturer, lawyer and former Marine infantry officer. His 38-year career in the human relations field began when he joined the ADL in 1949. He served through 1964 as direc- tor of the three of the human rights agency's regional of- fices — in Detroit, Miami and New York. From 1965-69 he was associate national direc- tor of the American Jewish Committee. He returned to the ADL in 1973 as assistant national director and became its national director in 1979. He was a vice president of Brandeis University, Walt- ham, Mass., from 1969 to 1973. The son of immigrant par- ents from Poland, Perlmutter grew up in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, N.Y. He obtained his law degree from New York University Law School. Perlmutter is sur- vived by wife, Ruthann. Rabbi Ruderman, Aguda Sage Baltimore (JTA) — Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchok HaLevi Ruderman, head of the New Israel Yeshivah in Baltimore, Md. and a senior member of the Council of Torah Sages of Agudat Israel, died June 11 at the age of 87. He was buried Sunday. More than 6,000 mourners attended the funeral. Ruderman's death was widely seen as the end of an era. He was the last survivor of the venerated Roshei Yeshivah who came to the U.S. from Lithuania early in the century. Born in Dohlinov, near Vilna, Ruderman studied at the Slabodka Yeshivah and at the age of 19 authorized the "Avodas Levi," an in-depth analysis of some of the most complex issues of the Talmud. He settled in Baltimore in 1933 and founded the Ner Israel Rabbinical College that year to train a new genera- tion of Jewish religious leaders and educators. CALL US: • CONDOLENCE TRAYS • COMPLETE DINNERS DELIVERED 352-3840 Jerusalem (JTA) — The municipality took legal ac- tion in early July to remove a controversial Holocaust memorial sculpture from its location at the Western Wall, triggering a personal attack on Mayor Teddy Kollek by former Ashkenazic Chief Rab- bi Shlomo Goren, who placed the work on top of his Adra Yeshivah. Goren charged that the mayor's hatred of Orthodoxy was behind the legal action. Kollek rejected Goren's charge as spurious insulting. He said his record proved his sensitivity to the needs of the city's Orthodox population. But the sculpture was erected without the requisite municipal licenses. It has been criticized for aesthetic reasons. Artist Yaakov Agam defended his work. It may be an "illegitimate child" but "even when a bastard is born, you don't kill him," Agam said.
