The largest Jewish community dinner ever held in the history of this city will take place tomorrow night at the Pythian Castle when more than 500 leading men and women of the community take part to launch the United Jewish Appeal here.
Professor Raymond Moley is guest of honor, and he is expected to devote himself to the needs of the refugees from Germany as well as to a discussion of the German situation in general. Professor Moley’s address will be broadcast throughout New England.
Preliminary estimates indicate that at least $5,000 will be raised for the United Jewish Appeal, which represents more than three times the amount contributed last year by the Jews of the community. In addition to a united Jewry which sponsors the dinner, the function will be attended by leading public officials and representatives of all churches in Lynn. Henry Yozell, treasurer of the United Jewish Appeal for New England, will be toastmaster.
The chairman of the committee is Simon Shamroth. Associated with him are the following: Mrs. Charles Bell, Mrs. Samuel Garfinkle, Mrs. Reba Goldstein, Louis Reed, Jacob Shaffer, Morris Stone, Mrs. Michael Zack, Joshua Zenas, vice-chairmen; Louis Ravin, treasurer; Max Sugarman, secretary; Mrs. Reba Goldstein, chairman, women’s division; Louis Reed, chairman, youth division.
Outstanding citizens of Lynn will attend the dinner, including Mayor J. Fred Manning.
