“It was the will of God that I should come to this country at a time when it is possible for me to help in this great campaign. The great work done in Poland and other countries by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee must be continued by the renewal of its funds through this campaign. It kept alive the body of Israel through the tragic years by feeding the hungry and healing the sick. And it kept alive the soul of Israel by maintaining the religious schools and academies where the Holy Torah is taught.

“I call on you to make next Thursday, the second day of Shebuoth, a day of special moment to our people. Let those who have not already given do so on that day, and those who have already contributed, give something more,” the rabbi urged.
