The importance of community work among the youth of Brooklyn was emphasized by speakers at the twenty-fifth anniversary dinner of the Williamsburg Young Men’s Hebrew Association held last night at the Association building 284 South Ninth street, Brooklyn.
Supreme Court Justice Mitchell May, president of the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities, and Presiding Justice Edward Lazansky of the Appellate Division emphasized the necessity of interesting the young men and women in character building groups. Lack of spiritual Jewish education is the cause of many modern-day evils, according to these leaders.
The Association, which is one of the twenty-five constituent agencies of the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities and one of five community centers affiliated with that Federation, draws about 4,000 participants in its activities every week, according to the executive director, Louis Notkin.
PLAN NEW BUILDING
Because of the fast growing membership, the present building is inadequate, according to Mr. Notkin. Plans to attract contributions for a new place to be built on the present site were discussed at the dinner.
Ten of the original members were present. They are Mrs. Jacob Jacobson, Stewert Engel, Municipal Court Justice Jacob S. Strahl, Charles I. Mandel, I. T. Perlman, Dr. Charles Dumay, Louis Lorence, Leon Cooper and Isaac Fenster. Mrs. Margaret Levy of the women’s organization and Mrs. Fanny Rubinowitz of the Philanthropic League, cooperated with Abraham L. Doris, deputy comptroller of New York State, and vice-president of the association, in arranging last night’s affair. Mr. Doris presided.
Guests of honor were M. Maldwin Fertig, Supreme Court Justice Harry E. Lewis, Supreme Court Justice James C. Cropsey, County Judge Algeron I. Nova, Frank V. Kelly and John R. Crews.
WELFARE GROUP TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING TONIGHT
The United Jewish Aid Societies, sole family welfare agency of the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities, will hold its twenty-fourth annual meeting tonight at the Temple House of Congregation Beth Elohim, Eighth avenue and Garfield place, Brooklyn. Mortimer Brenner, president of the organization, is scheduled to retire and will be succeeded by Mortimer {SPAN}###hwager{/SPAN}. Other officers and directors will also be elected for 1935.
Commissioner of Public Welfare William Hodson and Dr. Solomon Lowenstein, executive vice-president of the Federation for the Support of Philanthropic Societies, as well as Mr. Brenner, will discuss the relationship of the private family welfare society to the public relief agency under present conditions.
The changed functions of a private family welfare agency, as shown by the work of the United Jewish Aid Societies, will be illustrated by Mr. Brenner in his annual report in which he is expected ### cite statistically the type of his agency’s services and the manner in which it cooperates with the public relief systems operated by the city, state and Federal government.
