A city-wide campaign among the Jewish section of the Greater New York population will be waged in the early part of April by the Young Israel, an orthodox Jewish youth organization, with a view of securing at least 10,000 dues-paying members for the Yeshiva College, the leading institution for higher Jewish learning in the United States which has been living through a period of financial stringency since the recent Wall Street crash, Harris L. Selig, executive director of the Yeshiva College Emergency Campaign, announced.
One thousand members of the Young Israel organization, comprising 4,000 members, men and women, will conduct a city-wide canvass to secure the 10,000 membership goal. Members will be required to subscribe to the payment of annual dues of $10, $15 and $25 or more towards the maintenance of the Yeshiva. The institution has an annual budget of $360,000. The campaign will be launched in the early part of April and will last two weeks.
