Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri proclaimed May United Jewish Appeal Month in New York City in a ceremony today at City Hall, where he extended the city’s welcome to Simon Agranat, Associate Justice of Israel’s Supreme Court, who is visiting the United States on a speaking tour for the United Jewish Appeal.
In his proclamation, the Mayor called upon my fellow citizens of all faiths to join in contributing generously to the 1953 “campaign of the United Jewish Appeal of Greater New York.” During May, the peak month of its 1953 campaign, the United Jewish Appeal of Greater New York aims to raise $10,500,000 — $500,000 for each of the 21 working days of the month.
