A heretofore temporary Council of Young Jewish Peoples’ Organizations of New Orleans became on Tuesday night a permanent body with the adoption of constitution and by-laws and the election of officers at the first monthly meeting in the Young Men’s Hebrew Association building. Dr. Mendel Silber, rabbi of Congregation Gates of Prayer, and Dr. David Fichman, executive director of the Y. M. H. A., aided in the council’s organization.
Representatives of nine Jewish clubs and fraternities chose Abe Goldberg, president; Samuel J. Goodman, vice-president; Miss Rose Weiner, secretary; Leon Hochstein, treasurer; and Dr. Morris Laufer, chairman of the committee on personnel and credentials.
