Abraham Cahan, late Editor-in-Chief of the Jewish Daily Forward, left an estate of $80,000 in insurance, saving accounts and U.S. Government bonds, it was revealed here today. His will provided that 45 per cent of the estate be distributed for cultural, educational and charitable purposes and the remainder be given to his relatives.
The largest part of his bequest for institutions–about $25,000–will go to the Berl Katznelson Institute of Social and Political Science in Israel, according to a decision made by the executors of the estate. The executors are Harry Rogoff, Alexander Kahn and Ephim H. Jeshurin. Other beneficiaries are The United Jewish Appeal, the New York Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, the Max Pine trade school in Israel.
