no time did he weaken, did he hesitate
or waver. Not for moment did he
forsake his people. He was ever on
the watch, fearless, brave and dar-
ing. He was steadfast and courage
Gus in his love for God, country and
people.
When we further consider the brew
ity of his life upon this earth, his
leadership becomes all the more char
acteristic. Though only forty-eight,
his years were nevertheless crowded
with work and achievement, which
only the gifted and exceptionally en-
lowed can boast of. To rise to the
unique and enviable position in the
life of his people at such an early
age is really sign of rare attain
ment, a sign of true greatness. He
was great as a teacher, great as
preacher, great as a scholar, great
as citizen, but he was even great
er as a leader.
May the qualities of his many-sided
leadership, his broad and varied in
terests inspire us to honor his men,
DRY by serving as he has served, by
being ever ready, alert and constant
to answer the calls in behalf of Israel
and all humanity.

DIR. MAURICE LEFKOVITS'
ADDRESS
DIR. Deinard AS Colleague

Deinard as Colleague was the same
kindly, helpful, congenial and loveable
personality as was Deinard the man,
the citizen, the scholar, the rabbi.
Never thinking of himself, his own
comfort or convenience, he was ready
to render service whenever called
upon by colleague-and render it
with such eagerness and gladness as
to make the beneficiary feel that in
stead of receiving a favor he was in
reality bestowing one. During the
fourteen years that I have had the
privilege of rather close professional
association with Deinard, I had fire.
quent occasion to ask for his helpful
services ;-always, without the least
hesitation, and often at considerable
sacrifice, he responded responded in
a way so modest and sweet that one
simply couldn't help warming up to
him with feeling closely akin to af-
lection. His kindness just drew
you toward hinl-and the longer you
knew him the more you loved him.
Deinard was one of the few men
whom knew to have been entirely
free from the "Kinoss Soferim" -the
envy and jealousy so frequently found
among men of the same calling or
profession. A genuine lover of his
people and true servant of the Lord,
Deinard sincerely rejoiced whenever
preferment or honor came to a col
league who, like himself, was toiling
and striving for Israel and Israel's
God. In that toiling and striving, in
his work for his people and his faith,
he found his richest reward, his deep

RABBI KLEINMAN'S ADDRESS
DIR. Deinard-The Leader

Friends, the keynote of the life of
DR.. S. N. Deinard, the characteristic
which gained for him the love, affec-
ton and reverence of all classes and
creeds is to be found not in his keen
scholarship, his unique citizenship,
nor in his Rabbinic strength, but in
his magnetic leadership, which, be-
cause of the many qualities he pos
sessed, made him all the more re-

nowned, noteworthy and exceptional.
To become the idol of the rich and
the poor, the workmen, the business
men and men of professions, to be
favored by the young and old, one
must have more than erudition, more
than oratorical ability or even edi-
torial skill. One must have a deep
insight into a peoples mind, heart
and soul and it was the knowledge
Of men and affairs more than the
knowledge Of letters that made him
the leader par excellence.
His leadership was not of the mar
row and compact nature confined
merely to the many duties he scrupu-
lousy discharged as minister and
pastor of his flock, \every member
of which idolized him; but it reached
out to the whole community, even to
many neighboring and distant COM
munities, endearing him even to those
who held views that were very diff
ferent and contrary to those he held.
Demands leadership stood for the
best and noblest in the life of the
community and the life Of American
Israel, even Universal Israel.
His leadership was all the more
fascinating because of it's manysided-
ness. There was hardly anything of
a Jewish or American nature that
could not count upon his talents and
abilities. Every movement that
aimed to further the interests of our
country. our people and our faith,
found in him a staunch and valiant
champion. Longing for a united
Jewry, knowing that Judaism prop
erly understood meant the synthesis
of "Kudsho Birch HUI, Orayso
VYisroel." Israels faith, Israels
culture and Israel national aspira-
tions, he became fearless and daring
exponent of the Zionist cause which
to him was the cause of Israel and
combatted with all the energy and
intellect at his command any or all
attempts made to break Jewish unity
and solidarity.
AS true leader of his people, born,
raised and trained in it's traditions,
he could not regard the age long
dream of Israel to be idle fancy. The
exclamation of the Psalmist, "May
my tongue cleave to my palate if I re-
member thee not; if prefer not Jeru-
salem above my chief joy" sounded
a message unto him which could
never be silenced, and even though
he was opposed by most of his col
leagues Of the Reform Wing in Juda-
ism believing firmly in Israel's power,
for self-renewal he labored indefatig-
ably in behalf of Zionism and Jewish
restoration and lived to see his labors
draw nigh realization.
Demands leadership was not mo-
mentary. It was permanent and last
ing. And we'll may we apply to him
at this time the biblical phrase, "And
his hands were steady until the going
down of the sum-" His labors as a
leader in Israel were constant, firm
and mistaken to the very end. At

highly, he steadfastly declined call
after call to pulpits that doomed much
larger In the consciousness Of Amer
lean Jewry than the one to which he
gave twenty years of his fruitful life;
he preferred to stay here because,
his soul having become knit unto the
soul OF this community, he preferred
the love and affection that the people
here bore him to the pomp and glory
that might have been his elsewhere.
1t such pomp and glory came to any
colleague, in many cases less able
than himself, he rejoiced at such
good fortune; for himself he found
his truest happiness in good works,
done quietly, modestly, often in jeal-
GUS secrecy.
In the annual rabbinical confer
ences, at which he was regular at
tendant, Deinard was a figure con-
spicuous for both his graces of heart
and qualities of mind. Whenever he
rose to speak, he commanded undi-
vided attention.; for his colleagues
knew that whatever Deinard had to
say was the result of clear thinking
and clean feeling. He was the in
tellectual peer Of any and the superior
of many. I have often heard him in
debate, crossing swords with the
keenest minds in the land; if he did
not always overcome his opponent by
the cold steel Of logic, he would in
variably capture him by the mag
netism of gentle persuasion. DEM
ard was man Of strong convictions;
he could and did disagree very firmly
and uncompromisingly but he did it
in way so sweetly reasonable, al
ways evincing a just appreciation of
the opposing viewpoint, as to inspire
into his staunchest opponent pro-
foundest respect and undisguised adj
miration.
His colleagues, indeed, liked DEM
ard, all of them. When the days
work was over and the smoke of bat
tie had cleared away, Deinard would
immediately become a center of at
traction. In some quiet corner of the
hotel lobby or out on the porch or on
the lake or sea shore, dozens of his
colleagues would gather around him,
and for hours at stretch he would
regale them with stories and anec-
dotes, one more delightful than the
other, and culled from every culture
of every people on earth. His versa
tility in this respect was as amazing
as was his versatility in other fields,
revealing him to his colleagues as
a personality altogether delightful
and lovable.
His colleagues will, indeed, miss
Deinard. They will miss him for his
sound scholarship which shed light on
many disputed point; they will miss
him for his kindness and sweet rea-
sonableness which Gained many a
critical situation in the heat of de-
bate; and they will miss him for his
rare sense of humor which afforded
them delightful relaxation after the
days arduous work. Somehow, there
will be something lacking at the an
nual rabbinical conferences, now that
Deinard will be there no more. The
unique place he held there and in the
hearts of his colleagues will not be
easily filled. Gratefully the Ameri-
can rabbinate will cherish his memory
as that of a true servant of the Lord,
a sincere lover of his people, who gave
to the cause, without stint or reserve,
the best that was in him,-a man of
