Glucksman Directing Drive for N. Y. C. $2,500,000 Quota

James N. Rosenberg, chairman of the New York Allied Jewish Campaign, announced yesterday that Harry Glucksman, executive secretary of the Jewish Welfare Board, has assumed the direction of the drive for the metropolis quota of $2,500,000, the date of the opening of which will shortly be made public.

Mr. Glucksman, who is in active charge of the New York Campaign headquarters at the Hotel Biltmore, has been “loaned” to the New York Campaign by the Welfare Board.

“I am highly gratified by the kindness and cooperative spirit of the Welfare Board in tendering to the New York Allied Jewish Campaign the inestimably valuable services of Mr. Glucksman, and am grateful to him for his ready acceptance of the grave responsibilities involved in directing the drive,” Mr. Rosenberg said. “The experience of Mr. Glucksman in this field, and the remarkable ability he possesses will be of inestimable value to us. Through his skill as an organizer, and his ability to stimulate those who work with him and under him, the Jewish Welfare Board has obtained from the Jews of various American communities upward of $15,000,000 for the erection of Y. M. and Y. W. H. A.’s and Community Center buildings. One of his most notable achievements was the raising of $1,500,000 for the 92nd Street Y. M. H. A. in a remarkable campaign which he personally directed two years ago.”

In addition to his office in the Jewish Welfare Board, Mr. Glucksman is a vice-president of the National Conference of Jewish Social Workers and of the National Association of Jewish Community Center Secretaries of which he is a former president. He is also secretary of the Jewish Committee of Scouting, and a member of the faculty of the Training School for Jewish Social Workers.
