Sulamis Goldoftas
Sulamis "Shula" Goldoftas
was born in Vilna (Vilnius),
Lithuania in 1898, the
daughter of Timothy and
Dvora Chwoles. Her early life,
prior to World War I, was like
a fairy tale existence: ser-
vants, dachas in the country,
nannies for the children,
opera and the theater in the
city of Vilna. With the advent
of World War I, this life
abruptly ended for Sulamis
and a new one began. She
died Nov. 11. She was 92.
She met her husband
Moshe Goldoftas shortly after
World War I. They were mar-
ried in 1920 after completing
their college studies in
elementary education. In
the late 1920s, she moved
from Lithuania to Brussels,
Belgium, with her husband
TEACHING OUR TRADITIONS FOR 75 YEARS
and son Tobi. This was to
have been a brief stay as the
family planned to make
aliyah to Palestine in June
1940.
However, as World War II
exploded in May, 1940, the
family fled the Nazi
onslaught, lived temporarily
in the south of France, then
came to the United States in
December 1940 thanks to a
visa obtained for the Goldof-
tas family by Nachumm
Goldmann. They settled in
Detroit, where her husband,
Moshe Goldoftas eventually
served as principal of the
Chaim Greenberg Jewish
Schools.
Shula (as she was known by
her friends) Goldoftas par-
ticipated in many Jewish af-
fairs in Detroit. A life-long
Zionist, she was active in
Bonds for Israel and
Habonim. She was also active
in and a life member of the
Ladies Auxiliary of the
United Hebrew Schools,
Na'amat (Pioneer Women),
the Jewish National Fund,
Sinai Hospital and the
Jewish Historical Society of
Michigan. She visited Israel
several times and was in
Palestine in 1947 when the
United Nations voted to par-
tition Palestine and create
the State of Israel.
For eight years she served
as a volunteer/interpreter at
Sinai Hospital for Russian-
Jewish emigres. She is sur-
vived by her son and
daughter-in-law, Tobi and
Ann Goldoftas of Cleveland
Heights, Ohio; four
grandchildren.

Philadelphia (JTA) — Rabbi
Daniel Kamesar, 35, who had
just been appointed as the
Mazon director for the New
York region, died suddenly
last week after collapsing
while waiting for a train for
his daily commute to
Manhattan. The cause of
death was not immediately
known.
"The sudden death of this
promising young rabbi and
Mazon leader has come as a
profound shock," said Irving
Cramer, executive director of
Mazon, the Jewish Response
To Hunger.
A native of Milwaukee,
Rabbi Kamesar was a recent
graduate of the Reconstruc-
tionist Rabbinical College in
Wyncote, Pa., where he
received the Pinkerton Prize
for excellence in rabbinic
literature.
