The board of directors of the Associated Jewish Charities, through its president, Walter Sondheim, yesterday announced the merging of three of its constituent agencies to form the Jewish Social Service Bureau.
Involved in the merger are the Hebrew Benevolent Society, the Young Ladies’ Benevolent Society and the vocational department of the Jewish Children’s Society.
Miss Gertrude A. Glick, of Cleveland, has been appointed executive director of the new bureau. According to Mr. Sondheim, the merger, which has been under discussion for three years, is a result of a survey made in 1926 by the Bureau of Jewish Social Reserch of New York.
Miss Glick will take office January 1.
