One million dollars for the purpose of stimulating the erection of several new school buildings for Jewish religious instruction, and repairing a considerable number of the 150 schools already in existence, will be raised before the turn of the year by the Jewish Education Association.
This decision was reached last night by fifty leaders in the Jewish community, who were gathered at a workers’ dinner given by the President of the Association, Mr. Israel Unterberg. Mr. Felix M. Warburg, Mr. Louis Marshall, Hon. Nathan Straus and Judge Otto A. Rosalsky are among those who have lent their moral and financial support to this movement.
At the head of these fifty workers is Mr. Joe Leblang, well-known theatrical magnate, who is acting as Chairman of the Campaign Committee. Mr. David N. Mosessohn, a leader in the dress and waist industry, is the Associate Chairman.
