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.
