Jewish Emigrants in France Suffer Adaptation Pains

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

The bad effects of emigration on the health of Jewish wanderers and the pain of their adaptation to the new environment was recorded in a report of the Linath Ha’zedeck, a health organization created by East European Jews in Paris.

The Linath Ha’zedeck, a characteristically Jewish social service agency, is constituted along the lines of enlisting members for voluntary social service in time of need. The organization reports that the Jewish emigrants in Paris are suffering from stomach troubles because of their inability to become accustomed to restaurant meals. The emigrant children suffer from anemia because their mothers work and cannot give them the proper care. The women who are employed at heavy work succumb to tuberculosis, the report states.

“As a body of Rabbis ministering to a large part of the Jewish population of the community, the New York Board of Jewish Ministers has learned with great regret that the Jewish Soccer Team, Hakoah, now visiting the United States, is scheduled to play and charge admission fees on the Jewish Sabbath, in violation of the tenets of Judaism, and deplores this failure of the Hakoah team and management to respect the sensibilities of religious Jews,” the statement read.
