Eleazar Lipsky
REMARKABLE AND TIRELESS CRUSADER
FOR HUMANITY, LOVER OF ZION.
The death of this noble giant leaves an unfillable void in American Red
Magen David for Israel. His selfless leadership and invaluable counsel
inspired all of us to continually achieve and renew our mission.
His indomitable spirit will live on in our hearts eternally.
May God comfort his family among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

AMERICAN RED MAGEN DAVID FOR ISRAEL
PHILIP SLOMOVITZ, ZICHRONO LIVRACHA.
In the passing of Philip Slomovitz of Blessed Memory, the Zionist Organization
of America — both locally and nationally — has sustained a grievous loss.
He was one of the early Zionist pioneers who planted the idea of "Shivat Tsiyon"
within Detroit Jewry and nurtured it via his prolific and inspired writings in The
Jewish News. National Jewish leaders had learned to rely on his political acumen
and sagacity and entrusted him with important tasks on behalf of the Zionist move-
ment and the Yishuv in Palestine. Philip Slomovitz had been — in a real sense
— the conscience of the Jewish community and his "Purely Commentary" op-ed
pieces were guideposts for positive Jewish living. He was fearless in defending Israel
and Zionism against its detractors and he never wavered in projecting his beliefs
and opinions with dignity and candor.
Metro Detroit ZOA, indeed the Jewish community at large, will be forever in his
debt.
New York (JTA) — Eleazar
Lipsky, a novelist and
lawyer active in Jewish af-
fairs, died in New York. He
was 81.
Mr. Lipsky, the son of
writer and Zionist leader
Louis Lipsky, was a co-
founder of the New York
Jewish Week and was, in the
1960s, president of the Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency.
Mr. Lipsky saw his works,
which received critical
praise, performed on the
screen and on radio. The
productions were based on
mystery novels and cour-
troom dramas, whose stuff of
life was based on his own ex-
periences with legal and
courtroom procedure.
Mr. Lipsky, who practiced
law until three weeks ago,
was an assistant district at-
torney in Manhattan in the
1940s and later had a gen-
eral law practice.
He wrote a 100-page
manuscript which became
the basis for a 1947 film,
Kiss of Death. Later that
year, the work was publish-
ed as a novel, too.
He wrote a detective novel,
The People Against O'Hara,
which was published in 1950
and made into a film the
next year starring Spencer
Tracy.
