More than 800 civic and communal leaders of the Jewish community in Philadelphia paid tribute to Dr. Israel Goldstein, president of the Jewish National Fund of America, at a dinner tendered in his honor here at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel.

The function highlighted a city-wide conference at which “Nachlath Philadelphia,” a project to redeem a tract of land which will bear the name of the City of Brotherly Love, was successfully launched.
