$328,000 Raised for U. J. C. on Last Day of Passover

Worshippers at Temple Kehillath Jeshurun, East 85th Street, New York, offered subscriptions totalling $105,000 to the United Jewish Campaign of New York, at the closing Passover services, following appeals made by David A. Brown, national chairman of the $15,000,000 United Jewish Campaign, and Samuel C. Lamport.

An appeal by Judge Otto A. Rosal sky, of the Court of General Sessions before the congregation at the Jewish Center, 131 West 86th Street, resulted in subscriptions totalling $223,000 to the overseas fund.

“If there is any Jew in this city who has plenty and fails to do his full duty in proportion to his means, he is guilty of moral murder.” Judge Rosalsky declared.

Others who urged the cooperation of their congregations in the overseas relief effort were Rabbi Nathan Stern of the West End Eynagogue, Rabbi Aaron Eiseman, Mt. Neboh Temple, Washington Heights, Rabbi E. Reuben Weilerstein, Temple Petach Tikveh, Brooklyn and Rabbi E. L. Solomon of Temple Shaare Zedek and Rabbi Alexander Lyons of the Eighth Avenue Temple, Brooklyn, Rabbi Rudolph Grossman of Temple Rodeph Sholem, 63rd Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, Judge Grover M. Moscowitz, chairman of the Brooklyn section of the drive, speaking at the 9th Street Y. M. C. A., Brooklyn, and Rabbi Israel Levinthal at the Brooklyn Jewish Center.

On April 2nd, David A. Brown, national chairman of the United Jewish Campaign had been “on the job” for a full year, a release from the headquarters of the Campaign declared. On the same day, in 1925, Mr. Brown, who had reached Europe after a tour of the Antipodes and the Orient, in the course of which he had visited South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Palestine, was in Berlin. He spent the day in conference with Br. Bernhard Kahn, European Director of the Joint Distribution Committee.

Mr. Brown then proceeded to Russia where he made a survey of the situation. Returning to New York on May 31, he assumed chairmanship of the Campaign.
