A special committee has been formed to provide for the welfare of Jewish visitors to the International Olympic Games which take place here this year. The committee was elected at a meeting of delegates of a number of Jewish clubs here, Rabbi L. H. Sarlonis taking a leading part in the procedeings.

A central office will be opened where Jewish visitors from abroad will be given any information they require, especially with regard to Jewish institutions, accommodation in Jewish homes, attendance at synagogue. Rabbi Sarlonis stated that the Dutch Olympic Committee in conjunction with the Chief Rabbi of Amsterdam is arranging for a number of hotels and restaurants to provide kosher food.
