The American Red Cross today lauded Jewish congregations in many parts of the country for their “widespread observance of Red Cross Sabbath” which took place on March 16 – 17, in support of the 1945 War Fund campaign.
“Not only did rabbis devote their sermons in part or in entirety to the Red Cross and its humanitarian mission, but in a number of instances they devoted a part of the radio time allotted them to the same purpose,” the statement issued by the Red Cross said.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
