An authorization to send 70,000 pounds of clothing to Jews in Poland has been granted by UNRRA to the Vaad Hahatzalah, a relief group organized by the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada.
The headquarters of the group today announced that last week the organization sent a shipment of 256,000 pounds of kosher food, religious books and clothing to Jewish communities in Europe for distribution among needy Jews.
