Ivan Tillem, a New York in-
vestment banker who under-
wrote the establishment of
Ethiopian synagogues in
Israel to accommodate Jews
who relocated there from
Ethiopia, died last week in
the same plane crash in the
African country that killed
Texas Rep. Mickey Leland.
Mr. Tillem, an Orthodox
Jew, was 32. Mr. Leland, a
black Democrat interested in
bridging the festering hostili-
ty between black and Jewish
communities, was 44.
A lawyer, publisher and
philanthropist, Mr. Tillem
had been accompanying his
friend, Mr. Leland, on a trip
from Addis Ababa to an
Ethiopian refugee camp. The
plane carrying 16 passengers
crashed into a mountain. It
was found Sunday after it had
been missing for nearly a
week. There were no
, survivors.
Mr. Leland, chairman of the
House Select Committee on
Hunger, worked diligently for
famine relief in Africa. He
also was a strong supporter of
Israel and an advocate for
Ethiopian Jewry.
"He was not only a link bet-
ween the black and Jewish
communities, but between all
people," said Ellen Cohen, ex-
ecutive director of the
American Jewish Committee
in Houston.
Cohen sits on the board of
the Leland. Kibbutz Intern-
ship, a program Mr. Leland
created 11 years ago to send
poor black children from
Houston to Israel. Each year,
10 high school juniors are
selected from Mr. Leland's
district to spend six weeks in
Israel learning about Jewish
culture and heritage.
Mr. Leland also worked for
Ethiopian Jewry, often bring-
ing the issue before Ethiopian
officials.
Mr. Tillem was on the ad-
visory board of the North
American Conference for
Ethiopian Jews. He had
spoken of assisting the Ethio-
pians by creating kibbutz-
style cooperative farms in an
effort to cope with that coun-
try's food shortages.
A native of New York and a
graduate of Queens College
and the Benjamin N. Cardozo
School of Law at Yeshiva
University, Mr. Tillem was an
assistant professor of social
science at Yeshiva's Stern Col-
lege for Women.
He was elected to Stern's
board of trustees two years
ago. He also was treasurer of
Stern. This year, he became a
director of Cardozo School.
From 1980 to 1983, he was
associate general counsel of
the National Jewish Commis-
sion on Law and Public Af-
fairs, arguing several civil
rights cases.
In business, Mr. Tillem con-
trolled the Pacific Group, a
diversified industrial holding
company that includes the
Pacific Financial Corp. and
the Pacific Press. He was
editor and publisher of the
Jewish Directory and
Almanac.
Louis Heideman
Dr. Louis E. Heideman of
Birmingham, a pediatrician
who was affiliated with many
professional and community
organizations, died Aug. 14.
He was 76.
During his life, Dr.
Heideman was a staff
pediatrician for Jewish Fami-
ly Service, a captain in the
U.S. Army and an associate
professor of pediatrics at
Wayne State University
medical school. He was a
Dr. Heideman
member of Congregation
Shaarey Zedek, where he
served on the youth and
education committees.
Among his involvements,
Dr. Heideman served on the
board of directors and on the
family and child case commit-
tee for the Jewish Family Ser-
vice. He was the liaison to the
Michigan State Medical
Society for the Crippled
Children's Commission before
serving as president of the
medical society.
Dr. Heideman also served
on many committees for the
Mayor's Commission on
Human Resources Develop-
ment, including the health
subcommittee.
Dr. Heideman leaves his
wife, Ethel; a son, Michael
(Carol). of Cincinnati; a
daughter, Rosalind (Louis)
Rochkind of Huntington
Woods; a brother, Theodore
(Marian) of Louisville; a
sister, Dorothy (Robert) Selik;
and three grandchildren.
