Adat Shalom Synagogue
presents
the dynamic sounds of
scholar, remarried and the
family moved to Jerusalem
where Ralph was schooled in
a yeshivah.
The family moved to
Philadelphia, then Detroit,
and owned a confectionary
store in Hamtramck. Ralph
blew the shofar on the High
Holidays for a local congrega-
tion. "When I took the job at
B'nai Moshe," he says, "I
didn't ask for a contract and
I still don't have one. I figured
if I didn't like it, or they didn't
like me, I'd leave."
Forty years later he still has
no plans to leave. He will go
with the congregation —
"God willing" — when it
moves to West Bloomfield in
the next few years. "They
want me to move with them,"
he says.
Ralph is expecting strong
family support at his May 21
party, including daughters
Sandra and Caren, their
husbands and his four
gandchildren.
"But everybody's invited,"
Ralph is quick to say. "Just
like at the seder — 'Let all
who are hungry come and
eat.' And we won't have many
speeches, just a good time!' 0
