A series of charitable endeavors are occupying the attention of Milwaukee Jews this week.
Chief of these is the drive for $75,000 to make up a deficit in the operation of Mount Sinai hospital. Over 700 workers have volunteered to serve in the campaign, which opens officially Monday night. A huge rally will be held then in the Plankinton hotel, at which Robert Jolly of Houston, Texas, president of the American Hospital association, will be the principal speaker.
KASHRUTH MOVEMENT
Rabbi Solomon Scheinfeld, chief orthodox rabbi of the city, has begun a movement to assure kosher foods on all Jewish holidays for the Jewish inmates of the Muirdale tuberculosis sanitarium and other Milwaukee county public institutions. Rabbi Scheinfeld recently led a quiet, successful effort to raise funds to assure adequate kosher foods for all poor Jewish families in the city, as well as for patients at the county hospitals.
PLANS USSISHKIN TRIBUTE
Seeking funds for the Ussishkin colony in Palestine, the Milwaukee National Fund committee is preparing plans for a bazaar to be given May 12 and 13. Jewish populations of other small Wisconsin communities will be asked to participate in the bazaar.
A special performance of Leslie Reade’s anti-Nazi play, “The Shatter’d Lamp,” will be given for the benefit of the College Division of the American Jewish Congress on Saturday night, April 21, at the Maxime Elliot Theatre.
