Lillian Kaufman
Lillian Kaufman, who was
an inspiration to the Zionist
Organization of Detroit as the
most recognized activist for

29 years, died Dec. 16 at age
72.
Widely recognized as an
educator, as a lecturer and as
an organizer of the important
dramatic functions in the
Detroit Public Schools, Mrs.
Kaufman received many
honors and citations.
She worked closely with her
husband, Judge Ira Kaufman,
on congregational, civic and
social service causes and
gained leadership in many
cultural spheres.
Born in Cincinnati, Mrs.
Kaufman began teaching
Sunday school at Cong.
Shaarey Zedek at age 16.
From 1935 to 1974 she taught
speech and auditorium at
Holcomb Elementary School
in Detroit, where she was
known for staging plays.
For many years, Mrs. Kauf-
man put on a winter holiday
party for 400-500 children at
the Polish Century Club. She
also staged plays for the
Jewish National Fund. Mrs.
Kaufman even put on a play
about Chanukah and
Christmas for the Scottish
Rite in Detroit.
Mrs. Kaufman was
graduated from Wayne State
University, held a master's
degree in criminology from
Columbia University and
studied piano at the Juilliard
School in New York City.
She was past vice president
of the Women's Division of the
Jewish National Fund and
past president of the
sisterhood of Adat Shalom
Synagogue.
She was active with the
Muscular Dystrophy Associa-
tion of Michigan and was its
president from 1974 to 1984.
From 1964 to 1979, she was a
board member of Madonna
College in Livonia.
She was past national
chairman of Law Day USA for
the American Bar Associa-
tion and the Michigan Bar
Association.
Mrs. Kaufman leaves her
husband, Judge Ira; a son,
Harvey; a daughter, Sylvia
Delin; and five grandchildren.
Young Rabbis Get Boost
In Special Program
BEN GALLOB
A
group of young Or-
thodox rabbis who
accepted the
challenge to serve congrega-
tions in small communities,
often their first pulpits, met
at a conference in New York
organized to help them to
cope more effectively with
their special problems as rab-
bis in areas where they might
be the only Orthodox rabbis
for miles around.
Fourteen such rabbis
returned to their alma mater,
the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan
Theological Seminary of
Yeshiva University (RIETS),
for a three-day conference.
The Manhattan conference
was sponsore by RIETS and
its community outreach pro-
gram, the Max Stern Division
of Communal Services, under
auspices of the Gindi Pro-
gram for Enhancement of
Professional Rabbinics.
Rabbi Kenneth Hain,
associate director of the Stern
Division, called it "the first
Jewish conference ever to pro-
vide professional training and
guidance for rabbinic couples
serving in their first or second
position." Rabbi Hain said
that the response had been so
enthusiastic that the Stern
Division was considering
making the workshop an an-
nual event.
The Reform movement also
sponsors such programs for
young rabbis, though the
Conservative rabbinate does
not. Rabbi Joseph Glaser, ex-
ecutive vice president of the
Central Conference of
American Rabbis, the associa-
tion of Reform rabbis, said
that at least once each year,
usually at CCAR annual con-
ventions, two- to three-day
gatherings of young Reform
rabbis, serving in small cities
and in remote ones, are held
to provide similar guidance
on coping.
Glaser said the annual
meetings atract 20 to 25 such
young Reform rabbis. He
reported also that the move-
ment publishes a newsletter
for small congregations.)
Hain, himself ordained at
RIETS, said the workshop
underscored the seminary's
"responsibility not only to
educate and place young rab-
bis, but to help these people
grapple with the professional,
personal and interpersonal
problems they face once they
have left here."
