building of a central home for Scran
ton Jewish philanthropic institutions.
Obituaries
Merchants, financiers, scientists,
communal leaders—every field is rep
resented in the staggering list of noted
American Jews who passed away dur
ing the past year. There were, in ad
dition, numerous local leaders who de
serve a place in this memorial list, but
lack of space prevents mention of
them. The more prominent of the de
ceased include: Daniel Guggenheim,
mining magnate and philanthropist;
Col. Michael Friedman, art patron and
philanthropist; former Congressman
Nathan Frank, St. Louis communal
leader; Morris Sigman, labor leader;
Harry Reichenbach, the man who help
ed place press agentry on its present
high plane; Henry W. Dinkelspiel, San
Francisco communal leader; Bernard
Edelhertz, publisher of the American
Hebrew; Maurice Abrahams, popular-

of the Jewish community added to
Jewish prestige and honor, it is appro
priate to include the names of those
outside the United States. The death
of Lord Melchett was a keen loss to
world Jewry, because of his devotion
to Palestine. Other prominent Euro
peans who passed away during the
year were Prof. Eugene Goldstein,
Berlin physicist; Hans Herzl, son of
the founder of the modern Zionist
movement, who committed suicide, af
ter the death of his sister; Vladmire
HafTkine, outstaending bacterioligist,
who isolated the cholera germ; Solly
Joel, known as the “king of dia
monds”; Felix Hollander. German
novelist; and Ludwig Singer, member
of the Czechoslovakian Parliament
and outstanding Jewish leader of that
country.
Political Honor List
Perhaps the time will come when
Jews are so integrated into the Amer
ican body politic that it will not be
cause for comment that a Jew has
received some high honor in politics,
society or science. But in view of the

the records for the year 5691 must
still point to distinctions conferred
on Jews. Perhaps the greatest honor
