Each month in this space,
L'Chayim will look back into issues
of The Jewish News to see
what was happening in the local
Jewish community or in the
Diaspora 10, 20 and 40 years ago.
10 YEARS AGO
The Rabbinical Assembly, the
international organization of
Conservative rabbis, recommended
that "qualified women be ordained
as rabbis in the Conservative
40 YEARS AGO
movement."
Irving Shapiro was appointed
executive vice president of Sinai
Hospital of Detroit.
20 YEARS AGO
The first Israeli elections in
2,000 years were held. Thirty-two
nations had recognized Israel as the
Jewish state.
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol of
Israel died in Jerusalem.
Three Detroit rabbis, James I.
Gordon, Irwin Groner and Richard
Hertz, took part in the first United
Jewish Appeal rabbinical mission to
Israel.
Eliahu Epstein, Israel's first
envoy to the U.S., visited Detroit to
talk about the declaration of Israel's
statehood and the establishment of
diplomatic relations between the
largest and youngest democracies
in the world.
