Samuel H. Rosenberg, executive director of the Atlanta Bureau of Jewish Education, died here last night. He was 57 years old. He came to Atlanta to head up the Bureau in 1949 after having served as educational director of congregations in Rochester, N.Y., New Haven, Conn., Jacksonville, Florida and Buffalo, New York.
He was a member of the board of the National Council for Jewish Education, which is made up of professional Jewish educators and worked very closely with the American Association for Jewish Education. He was particularly instrumental in the development here of a Hebrew High School and an Institute of Jewish Studies. Recently he initiated an Adult Education Council.
