here's to
University Medical School for fur-
ther training and later joined its
medical staff, working in St. Louis

As Sinai’s chief of OB-GYN,
Sherman set high standards but was
very available to help his residents.
Weinberg remembers Dr. Sherman’s
use of the Socratic method, con-
stantly questioning his students
to motivate them to think and
solve problems. As a young doctor,
Weinberg remembers being very
nervous about giving a presentation
at a national meeting until Sherman
surprised him by showing up to pro-
vide support.
At Sinai, Sherman continued
his research and innovations to
improve gynecologic and obstetri-
cal care. Sinai became known for
pioneering the use of progesterone
to prevent miscarriages and, with
Dr. Milton Goldrath, he developed
one of the premier programs in the
country using laser therapy for a
variety of gynecologic conditions.
His devotion to teaching, research
and his patients meant that he
worked long hours, but his daugh-
ter, Merle Schwartz, says he always
came home for dinner and put the
children to bed, and then went back
to work for several hours. Schwartz
and her husband, Ron, attended
the dinner, along with another of
the Shermans’ children, Dr. Larry
Sherman, a surgeon, and his wife,
Caroline.
“Dr. Sherman was an amazing
mentor, incredibly patient with
high expectations for all of the Sinai
residents. He was a full professor
at Wayne State University with tal-
ented residents and attending staff,
and there was a close bond between
everyone at Sinai,” says Michael
Salesin, M.D.
Leonard Sudakin, M.D., another
Sherman Society member, describes
Sherman as “very haimish with no
airs about him. He had a wealth of
knowledge and was the final word
on medical and ethical issues.”
Sherman practiced medicine until
1985 and died at age 91 in 2012.
His wife, Sandy, attended the first
Sherman Society dinner but died in
2016 prior to the second event.
Sinai Hospital of Detroit was
acquired by the Detroit Medical
Center (DMC) in 1997 and was sub-
sequently merged with DMC’s Grace
Hospital. The Sinai Hospital build-
ing was demolished; it is now the
site of Renaissance High School. •
