The Board of Deputies of British Jews today announced its readiness to cooperate with the Jews in Russia “after twenty-five years of isolation.”
The announcement was made by A. G. Brotman, secretary of the Board, addressing a conference of representatives of sixty Jewish organizations called for the purpose of speeding the campaign of Jewish groups here for $200,000 to sent twenty-five ambulances to Russia.
The conference heard a message of greetings from Chief Rabbi Hertz who emphasized Russia’s contribution to the fight for the cause of freedom in the present war. A message was also read from the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in Moscow greeting the landing of the Allied armies in France.
