wo icons of Detroit's Jewish
community, Alfred Taubman
and Judith Levin Cantor,
will reflect on the history, the stories
and the people that made us who
we are today at the Jewish Historical
Society's 55th Annual Meeting, at 7
p.m. Tuesday, May 20, at Congregation
Shaarey Zedek in Southfield.
Taubman is receiving the Leonard
N. Simons History Award, an annual
tribute that honors those who have
made outstanding contributions to
the enrichment, preservation and dis-
semination of Michigan Jewish history.
Taubman, whose memoir Threshold
Resistance was published in 2007, was
selected for his commitment to sharing
and preserving his own life accomplish-
ments and memories as well as those of
other community leaders.
He uses historical lessons to help
ensure that mistakes are not repeated
and has played a critical role in helping
the community build on the successes
and sacrifices of the past. He has sup-
ported the mission and work of the
JHSM through his philanthropy, helping
to endow the continued publication of
