The Man The Week

Kuch wrek Tin- I'uxt’* Utah will pick an Indiana Jewish leader, man nr woman, as “Man of The Week.” The honor will he accorded on the basis, In most cases, of work being done at the moment, although men and women who have been leaders for years will not be Ignored. The annual I'ost award of “Indiana's Jewish Man of The Year” will most likely be made from among the weekly winners. OAM MANTEL, co-chairman of the 1947 drive of the Jewish Welfare Fund, and veteran of the two World Wars, was interviewed this week after he had been selected by the staff of The Post as an outstanding Indiana Jewish leader. The first to be chosen “Man of The Week,” Mr. Mantel’s current work in the welfare fund drive and his past activity in B’nai B’rith and other work, certainly make him a logical man to start the new weekly award. MR. MANTEL, who has been active in Jewish groups for longer than he cares to remember, was not being casually optimistic when he declared that the $1,150,000 goal of the welfare fund would be subscribed. ‘‘The drive actually is coming along splendidly,” he said. “We have in pledges an amount in excess of the total pledges of last year. Cards outstanding are those which last year accounted for a quarter of a million dollars of the goal, and they are expected to bring the figure, in the ratio of pledges already secured, to an amount in excess of $1,000,000. “In addition, non-Jewish drives are being organized throughout the United States for the United Jewish Appeal, and we here, also, feel that this is something that calls for the participation of every decent human being. Everyone must have the opportunity to give, and a local drive of this sort will be conducted this Fall.”

Sam Mantel

for 26 months during the last war, and for three and a half years during World War II, as a colonel, acting as liaison officer between the air corps and the transportation corps at London, Southhampton and Plymouth. His first project for the Jewish community, as nearly as Mr. Mantel can recall, was as legal advisor for a Jewish Legal Aid office, forerunner of the presentday Legal Aid Society maintained for the entire Indianapolis community. He has been active in B’nai B’rith locally and nationally, having served as president of District No. 2. Another field of interest is community relations work, particularly that of the Indiana Jewish Community Relations Council, of which he is vice-president. He is a member of the board of directors of the Kirshbaum Center, and of the Jewish Federation. Before entering the service, he was second vice-president of the latter, and is a member of the board of the Jewish Welfare fund.

merger of the Jewish Welfare Fund and the Jewish Federation, now under consideration, would be an advance in community organization. As to a Jewish state and the political problems of Zionism, Mr. Mantel is not too interested. He is concerned, deeply concerned, with the business of getting Jews from Europe into Palestine, and will leave it to the future and to others to settle the colder, less humanitarian business of establishing boundaries. About the choice of a president of the Jewish state nearing foundation, h > firmly believes that the choice should rest, not with Zionist over the world, but with the Jews of Palestine, who will know better than anyone else what their country will need. ^

Mrs. Roskin Appointed By Boston Temple Mrs. Evelyn Borofsky Roskin, until recently organist at BethE1 Zedeck Temple, has been appointed choir director for Temple Sinai, Brookline, Mass. Mrs. Roskin left Indianapolis a few weeks ago. Her husband, the late Janot S. Roskin, had served as musical director at Beth El.

Special committees have been set up in Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Milwaukee and Des Moines.

MR. MANTEL, who served in the first World War (but doesn’t look it) as well as in World War II, revealed these feats more reluctantly, although they really are rather well-known, than he did the military and subsequent careers of his two sons, Samuel J. Mantel Jr., and Thomas Mantel, now students at Harvard. Mr. Mantel; Sr., was graduated from Shortridge High School, Phillips Exeter Academy at Exeter, N. H., Harvard University and, following World War I, Indiana University Law School. He served as a lieutenant overseas

“THERE AREN’T enough nights in the week,” Mr. Mantel says. To hear him discuss his public services one would forget that he has a business life. For twenty-five years he has prac ticed law, mainly corporation law, and since his return from the army has been in partnership with another attorney, George Doyle. Their offices are in the Hume-Mansur building. Yet, for all this, he does find time for recreation. He bowls in the winter, and plays golf in the sum mer. Mr. Mantel believes that the
