Six hundred of the foremost Jewish men and women of San Francisco are engaged in a citywide campaign for the Jewish National Welfare Fund, which opened its sixth annual appeal on Monday, September 29. The drive will continue to October 10 by which time it is hoped that the goal of $265,000 shall have been attained. Reports thus far predict a successful result.
Embraced in the Jewish National Welfare Fund of San Francisco are 38 Jewish national and international institutions of religious, educational and charitable nature which before the creation of the fund made independent appeals to the community for financial help.
This year’s campaign opened with a rally on Sunday evening, September 28 in the Temple House of Temple Emanu-El. Speakers included Judge M. C. Sloss, president of the fund, and Richard E. Gutstadt, campaign director.
Mrs. Henry Harris and Walter A. Haas are vice-chairmen of this year’s campaign organization. Mrs. Eva S. Schwabacher heads the women’s division.
