The League of the Jewish Youth, sponsored by the Bureau of Jewish Education of New York, held its first membership rally and entertainment this week at the Theresa Kaufmann Auditorium of the new Y. M. H. A., with an attendance of over 600 Jewish students. This rally marked the launching of the League as a new movement of the Jewish student youth of New York.
In the beginning the benefits of the organization will be extended to those enrolled in the Hebrew secondary schools, as well as the older student of the more progressive Hebrew school of New York City. Ultimately it is hoped that this movement will extend ### include the entire Jewish student population.
Judah Lapson, Director of the League addressed the rally and outlined its purposes.
