The ironies of Charlton Heston
|
|
The life of Charlton Heston was marked by certain ironies. Heston, who died on Saturday at the age of 84, was an ardent civil rights activist, a Hollywood star who marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on Washington in 1963, but who became the embodiment of right-wing bluster as the president of the National Rifle Association. He was born and raised as an archetypical WASP in the Midwest and gained his greatest fame portraying towering Jewish characters, Moses and Judah Ben Hur. Even while reviled by most American Jews as an arch-conservative, he was a close and loyal friend of many liberal Jews.

Rabbi Herbert Friedman
|
|
Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, a former CEO, executive vice-chairman, and lay leader of the United Jewish Appeal and the founding president of the Wexner Heritage Foundation died on March 31 at age 89. Articles will be written about his pioneering work in Jewish philanthropy and Jewish education; few know the extent of his critical role in assisting the survivors of the Shoah in post-war Europe. Friedman was a 27-year-old Reform rabbi serving as an American chaplain in the American Army. He was stationed at Berlin District headquarters when Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein, then adviser on Jewish Affairs, U.S. Zones, Europe, asked him to serve as his assistant. Jews who were displaced persons required an advocate to explain their needs to the military, and Friedman was recruited to help them.
