WINS MEDAL OF
FREEDOM

HARRY HERBERT represent
alive of the National Jewish We'll

who has been awarded the Medal
of Freedom, second highest award

origin, Shepard Broad came to
the United States to seek freedom,
security and peace. These were
the same principal reasons that
had motivated migrations to
America from the date of the
founding of our great nation.
Possessed of fine native ability
and intelligence, as well as char
acter and perseverance, Shep made
good. He, however, never forgot
his brethren who remained in
strife-torn Europe. Having escap-
ed the tyranny of terrorists, he
knew full well the eternal wish
of European Jews for a haven of
peace and security. Accordingly,
when the Miami Beach Zionist
District in it's formative years
asked that he lead them in their
vital work, he accepted, and there
after dedicated much of his time,
his energy and his resources to
Eretz Yisroel
Considering his background as
a refugee from persecution, and
his untiring efforts in behalf of
his brethren overseas, it was only
natural for Shep to be chosen as
a representative to the World
Jewish Congress in Switzerland.
And so it is that some twenty
five years after his flight from
tyranny Shep is returning to Eu-
rope to aid the remaining rem
nants of our people.
Last week, attended a spon-
taneous bon voyage luncheon tend
cred to Shep and Ruth Broad on
the eve of their departure. Only
three days before, few of his
friends conceived the idea for the
luncheon, and despite the short
notice over $50 attended. Out
standing community leaders, Jews
and Gentiles, arose and expressed
their heartfelt esteem for this
lovable couple. The Mayor, the
Police Chief, the Rabbits, business
associates and fellow Zionists all
paid high tribute to the work
performed by Shep in behalf of
his fellowman and wished him
God speed in the great mission
that was ahead of him. The
wholehearted sincerity of the trib-
ute overcame Shep. Broken with
emotion, he gratefully acknowl-
edged the plaudits and affirmed
his resolve to carry on his human
itarian efforts.
I have never yet seen more
genuine expressions of regard and
esteem. There were as many
testimonial speakers of the Gen
tile faith as of the Jewish faith.
Here was a man who had given
of himself unstintingly in behalf OF
his community and his fellowman
! and, in so doing, had earned the
respect and affection of all, ire
snective of religious affiliation.
