Extensive preparations are going forward here for participation in the $5,000,000 United Palestine Appeal. The Jewish Community of this city is pledged to contribute $375,000 to the United Palestine Appeal, the largest sum it has ever pledged for Palestine reconstruction.
The campaign will begin on May 2 and continue for 10 days.
In addition to the contributions annually donated from the treasuries of the various Jewish fraternal and beneficial groups, two of the largest organizations in this city, the B’rith Sholom and the B’rith Achim, have organized individual teams, each with an objective of $75,000.
Judge Wm. M. Lewis will head the Drive as Chairman. Associated with him as Vice Chairmen are Mrs. Benjamin Abrahams, Professor Hyim Fineman, Jacob Ginsburg, Judge Leopold C. Glass, Louis E. Levinthal, and Benjamin L. Rubinsohn.
Mr. Charles Lipshutz is Treasurer of the Fund. Organization of the teams has been arranged by a committee of which Mr. Sol C. Kraus is Chairman. Mr. B. F. Miller is Chairman of the Committee on Organizations.
