The Jews of France were urged to make voluntary contributions toward the French treasury for the purpose of upholding the value of the franc, in an appeal issued by the Jewish consistory of France, signed by Chief Rabbi Israel Levi.
The Chief Rabbi has been appointed a member of the Social Committee for Aiding the Franc. The Committee includes Cardinal Du Bois, Archbishop of Paris, and the heads of other religious denominations.
The appeal, which will be read in the synagogues on Saturday, urges the worshippers to make contributions at the “shnodder,” the voluntary contributions promised after the recital of the weekly Bible portion.
