A former president of the Cleveland Jewish Community Federation, Mr. Rocker was a member of the board of directors of the Joint Distribution Committee and of the board of overseers of the Jewish Theological Seminary. Last year, the Jewish National Fund honored Mr. Rocker with a testimonial dinner and planted a forest of 10,000 trees in his name in the John F. Kennedy Peace Forest in Israel.
