Ex-Federation Staffer Inspired Leadership NATHANIEL WARSHAY Special to The Jewish News A pioneer in the growth of Jewish communal services in Detroit, Esther Appelman "was an in- spiration and a model for the lay leadership," according to Jewish Welfare Federation Vice President David Hermelin, who was involved with the Junior Division when Mrs. Appelman was its secretary. Mrs. Appelman died Nov. 17 at age 87. Through her nearly 17 years at Federation and since her retirement in 1972, Mrs. Esther Appelman Appelman worked to con- tinue developing community leadership and social services delivered through Federation agencies. She supported lay leaders and volunteers with the information and details they needed to do their jobs. "She was a very devoted professional who brought ex- cellent skills to Federation," said William Avrunin, former executive vice president of the Jewish Welfare Federation. "Her insight and intelligence were greatly appreciated by the lay people with whom she worked." "She was a wonderful teacher and wisely directed people," said Dr. Peter Shifrin, former chairman of the Health and Welfare Commit- tee, which Mrs. Appelman staffed. "She kept me informed and she knew Federation, the community and every agency inside out," he said. In addi- tion, "she had a lot of in- fluence on the direction of lay people." Nathaniel Warshay is a staff associate of the Jewish Welfare Federation. From 1954 to 1972, in addi- tion to being Junior (Now Young Adult) Division direc- tor, she was on Federation's staff as secretary of the health and welfare, budget and planning division and as director of the Arts and Crafts Division of the Allied Jewish Campaign. Raised in Detroit, Mrs. Ap- pelman also worked in Jewish communal agencies in Chicago and St. Louis and volunteered with the Rich- mond, Va., Jewish community. She leaves her son and daughter-in-law, Dr. Henry and Harlene Appelman of Ann Arbor; sister, Edith Sauls of San Diego, Calif.; sister-in-law, Arlene Rhodes of Southfield; two grandsons.
