Harold M. Jacobs (1912–1995) was a Jewish and civic leader who headed a number of American Jewish organizations and institutions, and also played a significant role in New York City educational affairs. == Childhood and education == Jacobs was born in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, the second of four children of Max Jacobs (1883–1978), an immigrant from Austro-Hungary, and his American-born wife, Kate (Kayla) Fried Jacobs (1890–1982). Max and his siblings were the founders and proprietors of Detecto Scales, which supplied scales and knives to local butchers. Max and Kate became active in Jewish community affairs, helping to found a synagogue, Young Israel of Eastern Parkway, and the first mikveh (ritualarium) in Crown Heights, the Brooklyn neighborhood to which the Jacobs family relocated in the early 1930s. For elementary school, Jacobs attended Torah Vodaas, the first all-day Orthodox Jewish school in the neighborhood. For his high school education, Harold, like most of his peers, attended Boys High School, supplemented by private tutoring in Judaic subjects. In the autumn of 1929, Jacobsenrolled in the business program at St. John's College, attending classes at night while working during the day at a butcher supplies store that his father opened in Crown Heights. Jacobs's education was interrupted by complications from a sports-related injury to his leg, which resulted in hospitalization for nearly a year and multiple surgeries. After finishing his B.A., he went to graduate school at Columbia University, earning a masters's degree in economics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harold M.
