A committee has been formed here to secure aid for the maintenance of Jewish cultural and welfare institutions which were established under the leadership of the late Rabbi Zevi Perez Chajes, Chief Rabbi of Vienna.
The institutions are now threatened with discontinuation unless funds are secured for their aid. The institutions to be aided by the funds sought include the Hebrew Pedagogium, the Jewish Real Gymnasium, the Jewish Religious Teachers Seminary, the Jewish Theological Institute, the Jewish Institute for the Blind, the Jewish Apprentices Home, the Jewish Girls Home and the Society Friends of Jewish Children.
The committee includes the president of the Vienna Kehillah, prominent members of the Vienna Kehillah, prominent members of the Austrian Zionist Organization, the B’nai Brith Lodge and other leaders in the community. Funds will be sought abroad, also.
