RUTH GILAN, 88,
of Union, N.J.,
formerly of
Bloomfield Hills,
died April 24,
2022.
She was born in Warsaw,
Poland, on May 5, 1933,
and moved to Israel (then
Palestine) as an infant so her
family could be closer to her
older brother who was study-
ing at Mikve Israel. Mrs. Gilan
and her mother traveled from
Palestine to Poland during
the summer of 1939, and
she described the harrowing
account of witnessing and sur-
viving the German invasion of
Poland on Sept. 1, 1939.
These experiences moti-
vated Mrs. Gilan to become
a teacher and share her love
and passion for Judaism, Israel
and the Hebrew language.
She received a bachelor of
arts from Hunter College and
a teaching degree from the
Herzliah Hebrew Teachers
Institute of New York. For
more than 40 years, she taught
at afternoon and day schools,
most recently at Hillel Day
School in Farmington Hills.
Mrs. Gilan is survived by
her children, Marilyn (Dr.
Leonard) Bielory, Cheryl
(Mutty) Slansky and Ethan
(Lisa) Gilan; grandchildren,
Dr. Brett (Rada) Bielory,
Amy (Robert) Stern, Rena
Kirsch, Eden Gilan and Jonah
Gilan; great-granddaughters,
Arabella and Sasha Bielory.
She was the beloved wife
of Daniel Gilan; the devoted
daughter of the late Hyman
and the late Rebecca Wheat;
the loving sister of the late
Noach Wheat and the late
Chava Weitz.
The family would like to
recognize and thank her aides,
Sofie Chausi and Tea Martin,
for their kindness and care
during the past eight years.
Contributions may be made
to any cause benefitting and
furthering Jewish education.
