The Central New York Conference of Jewish Communal Agencies, sponsored by the National Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, will meet this weekend at the Hotel Sagamore here to discuss the various responsibilities of the Jewish Community today.
Some of the problems on the program to be considered are the relief and personal service to families and children, the care of the aged, religious education for Jewish children and equipping them to take their places in Jewish community affairs, and the social, recreational and cultural background for the Jewish group.
Dr. S. J. Applebaum of the Rochester Jewish Welfare Council will preside. Rabbi Philip Bernstein of Temple B’rith Kodesh will deliver the invocation. Greeting will be extended by Joseph F. Silverstein, vice-mayor of Rochester. The two guest speakers of the evening will be Dr. Ben M. Selekman, executive director of the Boston Associated Jewish Philanthropies, and James Marshall of New York City.
The two-day session will be concluded with a luncheon in the roof garden. Rabbi S. Joshua Kohn of the Utica Temple Beth El will preside and Rabbi Jeremiah Berman of the Rochester Temple Beth El will deliver the invocation. Speakers will include Fred M. Butzel, chairman of the executive committee of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit, whose subject is: “What Is There to Jewish Unity?” David Adie, commissioner of the New York State Department of Social Welfare, “A New Partnership–Public and Private Social Work,” and Moses ##, president of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies of Syracuse, “Whether the Communal Organization Will Make for Jewish Survival.”
