Three organizations with which he was actively identified during his lifetime will join Sunday afternoon in memorial services for Ludwig Vogelstein, philanthropist, who died here in September at the age of sixty-three.
The services, which will be held at five o’clock at Temple Emanu-El, Fifth avenue and Sixty-fifth street, will be jointly sponsored by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropies, and Congregation Emanu-El.
Among the speakers who will pay tribute to the late industrialist are Justice Irving Lehman, president of Congregation Emanu-El; A. Leo Weil of Pittsburgh, representing the executive board of the Union; Joseph Proskauer, Federation president, and Dr. Samuel H. Goldenson, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis.
Rabbis Jonah B. Wise, George Zepin and B. Benedict Glazer will conduct the prayer service. Musical numbers will be offered by Cantor M. Rudinow and the Emanu-El choir.
