(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
The Jewish community of Detroit was the first in the United States, outside of New York, to undertake to raise its share in the $5,000,000 Yeshiva College campaign.
The Detroit quota in the campaign was set at a minimum of $100,000. Plans for the carrying on of this campaign were considered at a meeting held here and a Yeshiva College campaign committee was chosen following an address by Harris L. Selig, Executive Director of the Yeshiva College Building Fund.
Judge Harry Kaiden and Rabbi A. M. Ashinsky are Vice-Chairmen of the committee. Other members of the campaign committee are: Joe Ehrenreich, J. Friedberg, Joseph Wetzman, David Zeman, Louis Granet and Peter Voss.
The campaign will be launched in October at a “$1,000 Dinner” to be given by the committee.
