Three New York synagogues have raised $10,000 for the United Jewish Appeal during the Passover holidays last week, it was announced yesterday by officers of the $3,000,000 campaign for the relief and reconstruction of Jews in Germany and the settlement of Jews in Palestine.
Of this sum $6,000 was obtained by the Society for the Advancement of Judaism, of which Rev. Dr. Mordecai M. Kaplan is the spiritual head, and where the appeal was fostered by a committee headed by Bernard Semel.
Judge Otto Rosalsky and William Fineberg were sponsors for the appeal at the Jewish Center, whose Rabbi is Dr. Leo Jung, where $2,000 was raised.
In response to a plea at the Shaare Zedek Synagogue by Magistrate Benjamin Greenspan and Rabbi Elias Solomon, $2,000 more was subscribed by the congregants according to a report by Isaac Haft, president of that congregation, to the officers of the United Jewish Appeal.
