The old Family Album

IT NAY be hard TO believe. but the
l accompanying picture is Of rabbi
Martin zielonks. OF Temple Mt. sisai.
OF El Paso.
OF course. the rabbi wasn't a rabbi
when il was made, and hadn't even
made up his mind TO become a rabbi
at that time. although he did make up
his mind early on the question. He
was Il years Of age when he definitely
decided 10 become a rabbi In the
picture he was less than six months
old-somewhere around five months,
he thinks. The picture was taken in
Berlin, the capital OF the German
empire, by F. ". Muller, p Garten
Strasse.
Rabbi Zielonks was born in Berlin
and says the best thing his father
ever did was to come to the United
States and establish American citizen
ship. DR.. Zielonka was born in 1877
and his father came to America in
1879 OF 1850 and settled in Cincinnati.
where the doctor was reared and edu-I
in the University of Cincinnati. and
lastly in the Hebrew Union college,
the theological seminary
In 1889 Dr. Zielonka became a rabbi
and took his first charge, Temple
R0def Sholom, in Waco. In 1900 he
was called TO Temple Mt. Sinai in FL
Paso and has been here ever since
Dr. zielonka cannot remember his
earliest ambition, If he had one before
he made up his mind TO be a rabbi, but
he says he supposes he wanted to be q
policeman and he also supposes that
he may have run away from school
az times to go in swimming, steal
fruit and all that. but he doesn't admit I
any OF these things to David. his son !
