The Nettie Wolff Happy Day and Memorial Fund was established in 1950 for Jewish charities.
In 1952 Rabbi Harold Gelfman joined us, followed in 1955 by Morris Shapiro. A popular speaker who was involved in the Jackson community, Rabbi Shapiro was director of the Family Service Bureau, on the faculty of the University of Life, President of the Jackson Ministerial Association, and Jewish Chaplain for all Michigan State Penal Institutions.
At the 100th anniversary in 1959, Rabbi Shapiro shared the Bima with Rabbi Philip Frankel of Lansing who gave the sermon. Heinz Ahronheim was the Temple president; Maynard Green, president of B'nai B'rith; and Harriet Stolorow, president of Sisterhood. During this period the Sisterhood held workshops for Jackson County teachers explaining the Holidays.
