IVy 2642 RABBI MAXIMILIAN HELLER, OUTSTANDING LEADER AND EDUCATOR, DIES Scholar and Orator Exercised Wide Influence in Shaping- of American Jewish Community; Embraced Zion ist Cause at Early Stage; Leaders in Pulpit and Zionist Movement Pay Tribute. New Orleans (JTA)—Rabbi Maxi milian Heller, outstanding leader in the Reform Rabbinate for nearly half a century, scholar and educator and champion of the Zionist cause from an early date, died here at eight-thir ty Saturday morning following a short illness. Rabbi Holler was 69 years old. He is survived by his wife Ida Annie (Marks) his son, Rabbi James Heller of Cincinnati, and other children. Rabbi Heller, one of the earliest graduates of the Hebrew Union Col lege at Cincinnati, was a leading spirit in the history of American Jew ry at the close of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century and exercised a decisive influence in shaping the character of the Ameri can Jewish community. As a scholar and orator he was a great factor in presenting the cause of Judaism and in championing Jewish conceptions and ideals both in the pulpit and in the press. In the Zionist movement in the United States Rabbi Heller was one of the leading figures from an early date. He embraced the Zionist cause at a time when the majority of the Reform Rabbinate was in bitter oppo sition to it. His appearance at the Pittsburgh convention of the Zionist Organization of America last sum mer was a notable event, in view of the attitude he took at a juncture when the convention was torn by hit ter controversy in the fight of the opposition group against the adminis tration headed by Louis Lipsky. By his calming influence during an acri- moneous debate, Rabbi Heller, who was one of the chairmen of the con vention, contributed largely toward steering the assembly into more peaceful waters. Born in Prague, Bohemia, January 31, 1800, the son of Simon and Mathil da (Kassowitz) Heller, Maximilian Heller came to America at an early age. He was educated at McMicken University and at the Hebrew Union College. In 1889 he married Ida An nie Marks. Since 1887 Dr. Heller was rabbi of Sinai Temple, New Orleans. He was professor of Hebrew and Hebrew literature at Tulane University since 1912. Rabbi Heller was active in many organizations, was honorary vice- president of the Jewish Publication Society of America, president of the Central Conference of American Rab bis 1909-1911, a member of the He- HARBIN TIRE & BATTERY COMPANY, INC.

RABBI MAX HELLER brew Union College Alumni Associa tion, the American Oriental Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was editor of the “Jewish Led ger,” New Orleans from 1896-1897 and at one time of the IFnai B’rith Magazine. He was a contributor to the “American Israelite” and many journals on religious subjects. The receipt of the news of Dr. Hel ler’s death caused grief in many cir cles in New York. Leaders in the pulpit and public life, in statements to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency eulogized the late Dr. Heller. Louis Marshall, president of the American Jewish Committee: “The death of Dr. Max Heller is a great loss to world Jewry. During his long and active career in the pulpit and in public life he represented the finest ideals and influenced religious thought through his cultivated intel ligence, his uniform toleration for the views of others and by his steadfast adherence to the fundamental prin ciples of morals and ethics. As a writer he wielded a facile pen and not only possessed a vigorous and virile style, but what he said was illumined by scholarly thought, good taste and sound sense. His interest in every thing that pertained to the advance ment of the Jewish people was deep and sincere. He was one of the early followers of Dr. Herzl and his pres ence at the Non-Zionist Conference which was held here in October last was merely an illustration of his de votion to the cause of rebuilding Palestine. However men may have differed with him at times, they never failed to respect him for his intel lectual honesty and his sterling and genuine manhood.” R. L.
