“Open Up Your Heart” is the slogan adopted for the 1929 United Jewish Campaign of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit, to be launched on May 19. The quota of $150,000 is to be distributed among local, national and foreign institutions. Of this sum, $63,000 is to go for the United Hebrew Schools and $35,000 for foreign relief.
Leaders in the campaign announce that they will leave their business for a week to devote themselves entirely to the campaign and to strive for its successful culmination.
