The rally of Jewish youth in Greater New York, in behalf of the Jewish youth in Germany which will be held at Temple Emanu-El, 65th St. and 5th Ave., tonight, will be converted into commencement exercise services for the young Jews of Germany who will be unable to be graduated from the universities and colleges because of the discriminations now in force against them. The services are being sponsored by the Junior Division of the German Relief Campaign of the Joint Distribution Committee.
Miss Pauline Baerwald will preside and the baccalaureate sermon will be delivered by Rabbi Ralph A. Habas, executive secretary of the Junior Division. Others who will speak include James W. Gerard, former American Ambassador to Germany, James Marshall, Paul Felix Warburg and Rabbi Jonah B. Wise.
It is expected that messages of sympathy will be read from presidents of leading colleges throughout the United States.
