The convention of Jewish Kehillahs of Hesse, representing 170 communities in that state, has adopted a resolution protesting against the government of the state of Hesse for not granting a subvention to the Jewish communities, though the latter are entitled to 16,000 marks annually, while the Christian churches of Hesse do receive support from the government.
On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary celebration of the Federation of Bavarian Kehiloth, President Neumeyer reported that the Federation includes 50,000 people and that its annual budget is 700,000 marks, towards which it receives a government subvention of 70,000 marks annually. He enumerated the many achievements of the Bavarian Kehiloth in the way of education, social welfare and relief for Jews abroad. The economic crisis now existing among Jews in Germany, reported Neumeyer, is forcing the Bavarian Jewish Federation to cut its expenditures.
