Fifty Jewish Boys enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps of Southern Ohio, will spend Passover seder services with members of Kahlo Kadosh Bene Abraham Congregation.
Captain Charles I. Conrad, C. C. C. chaplain, who arranged for the religious services of these youth, said “these are all my boys and I think as much of having them hold fast to the faith of their fathers as I do of their Portestant and Catholic comrades.”
“Probably because Jewish people hlep one another morec,” the chaplain added, “or because their youth were better able to weather the depression, we haven’t so many of them as other faiths. Most of them are from the larger cities. We took them off the streets of cities where many of them might have learned the ways of gangsters and racheteers, and put them close to the members of the congregation after services last Friday by Rabbi Pastor>
