Responding to a call last week from the United Jewish Appeal for the raising of $50, 000,000 in cash by year’s end, 900 UJA-affiliated campaign bodies acted by designating September and October as cash collection months and by naming special committees to speed fulfillment of local quotas, it was reported yesterday by Morris W. Berinstein, national chairman of the cash campaign.
Mr. Berinstein pointed out that some 5,200 Jewish communities ultimately will be involved in the cash project and termed the first week’s development “an encouraging sign of the momentum we seek and require for the drive’s success.” He stressed that all communities are being urged to finalize their cash-raising plans prior to Rosh Hashanah, to allow for peak collection activity between then and the end of October.
