Tumultuous scenes, resembling those of the Warsaw Kehillah meetings, occurred at a meeting of the Vienna Kehillah Council during the debate on the budget yesterday.
Herr Pick, president of the Council, ruled a speaker representing the Mizrachi group out of order because he spoke in Hebrew. Following this the Mizrachi group protested violently. The excitement increased when Herr Papenheim, a representative of the Agudath Israel, attacked the Keren Hayesod, claiming that it supports irreligious institutions. Robert Stricker refuted Herr Papenheim’s accusations.
