An expression of satisfaction with the ready cooperation of all Jewish factions in the drive of the Jewish National Fund for the Kfar Ussishkin project was issued by Rabbi Israel Goldstein, president of the Jewish National Fund of America, in connection with the Ussishkin Tribute Dinner, to be held Wednesday evening in the grand ballroom of the Hotel Astor.
Rabbi Goldstein declared that “the Jewish National Fund was fortunate in enjoying the wholehearted support of all factions of the Zionist movement and of Jewish men and women regardless of party or group affiliation. This is not only encouraging so far as our own efforts are concerned, but augurs well for the future of harmonious activity for the establishment of the Jewish National Home.”
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Dr. Judah L. Magnes, chancellor of Hebrew University in Jerusalem and Charles Edward Russell will be the speakers at the dinner, it was announced by Louis P. Rocker, chairman of the Dinner Committee. The addresses of Dr. Wise and Dr. Magnes will be heard over an NBC network at 10:30 p.m. Musical selections will be presented by Boris Koutzen, violinist, Devora Nadworney of the Chicago Civic Opera Company and Victor Chenkin, who will sing Jewish folk songs.
