The seventy – fifth birthday of M. Jules Dreyfuss-Brodsky, president of the Federated Jewish Communities of Switzerland and also president of the Jewish Community of Basle, was celebrated here.
The central committee of the Federated Jewish Communities sent the following message:
“All Jews in Switzerland and abroad join in honoring our venerated president, and thanking you for your great work, especially the method in which you have carried it out. You have stood for a lifetime at the helm of Jewish life in Switzerland. You have been largely responsible for the shaping of the future of Swiss Jewry. And in addition, you have rendered great services to your native town Basle, and to our beloved Fatherland.”
M. Dreyfuss-Brodsky is the representative of Swiss Jewry on the Council of the Jewish Agency. He is the founder of the Jewish Orphanage in Basle, and he is the head of many Jewish welfare institutions in Switzerland.
