Emphasizing the importance of unity and coordinated action on the part of the American Jewry in the present crisis, the Order Brith Sholom, at a meeting of its national Executive Committee today appointed a committee of five with instructions to communicate with the spokesmen of the American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish Congress, with the view to establishing a working relation between these national agencies.
Reviewing the German situation and the part American Jewry is taking in the effort to ameliorate the suffering, Martin O. Levy, Grand Secretary of Brith Sholom deplored the disorganization and the chaos characteristic of American Jewry. At a time like this, he said, individual differences, even theoretic differences should be subordinated to the great challenge world Israel is now facing. To this lack of union and co-ordination of effort Mr. Levy ascribed the failure of American Jewry to accomplish much on behalf of the Jews in Germany.
A resolution was adopted unanimously calling for unity of American Israel. A committee of five was appointed to negotiate with both the American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish Congress with this end in view. The committee consists of A. Sigmund Kanengieser of Newark; Martin O. Levy and Adolph Rosenblum, Philadelphia; Harold Budner and Moses M. Helfgot, New York.
