An entire community—Christians as well as Jews—mourns
the passing, on Sunday, Aug. 8, of Dr. Leo M. Franklin, Rabbi
Emeritus of Temple Beth El and one of the country's best
known leaders in the Reform rabbinate.
The outpouring of people of all faiths, all races and all
strata of life at the funeral service on Tuesday at Temple
Beth El, and the scores of messages of condolence which
reached the family this week from all parts of the land were
indications of the highsteem in which the late Rabbi of
Temple Beth El was held by all.

R
abbi Leo M. Franklin was, per-
haps, the best-known leader
of the Jewish community dur-
ing the first half of the 20th century.
Franklin served as rabbi at Temple Beth
El from 1899 until 1941, after which he
was elected rabbi emeritus.
Temple Beth El grew rapidly during
Rabbi Franklin's tenure. The congrega-
tion relocated twice (in 1903 and 1922)
and became one of the largest Reform
congregations in the country. Franklin
was also notable for establishing the

Michigan.
Rabbi Franklin died on Aug. 8, 1948.
The week after his death, the Aug. 13,
1948, issue of the Jewish News featured
an article about Franklin's life and
accomplishments, and noted that "peo-
ple of all faiths, all races and all strata of
life" attended his memorial services.
Today, the archives of Temple Beth El
are named in his honor.
