   He was a serious man of action, on a mission that defined him. See, foir example:

   Rabbi Samuel Adelman, a distinguished American pulpit rabbi, poet and activist, who founded Torah Pilgrimage, forerunner of the NCSY, and led congregations in Dover, New Jersey, Morristown, New Jersey, and Newport News, Virginia, and finally, the Beth Medrash Hagadol Synagogue in Denver, Colorado.

   Activist for Judaism and social justice who worked vigorously on numerous commissions on the state level to advance civil rights, fair housing and care for mentally retarded children, and led the first delegation of Rabbis to Communist Russia in 1956.

   Proud father of four, Rabbi Adelman died suddenly in 1966, at the early age of 50. But this prolific writer lived a remarkably accomplished life, and his eloquence continues to inspire those who remember him, and those who chance upon his writings.

   I am thankful that I found this site quite by accident, and my gratitude to all who posted here.
   Well, he was the “proud father” of more than 4, indeed, of hundreds (myself included) who thought of him as our spiritual father. He was truly a tzadik, a righteous person, all warmth and love. Who can forget his ever present smile. And to hear him sing morning prayers was a rare privilege, but perhaps more so was to watch him quietly at his own. I first learned Talmud from this great and good soul. Find his book of poems on Amazon. Windows of the Soul. May his memory be a blessing!

   I once spoke to a Rabbi Mordechai Adelman in EY, I believe he was a son.
