The 800th anniversary of the birth of Moses Maimonides, which will be observed on April 17, 1935, will be marked by a city-wide celebration here in which all synagogues and organizations are expected to participate.
Congregation Shaarey Zedek plans the organization of a large committee for the celebration, and a call has been issued, over the signatures of Isaac Shetzer, president, and Dr. A. M. Hershman, rabbi, for an organization meeting on August 2.
