Approximately 11,000 out of the 45,000 Jews of Pittsburgh had been cared for in some manner during the past year by the constituent divisions of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of Pittsburgh, declared Dr. Ludwig B. Bernstein, executive director of the Federation, before an audience of 1,000 persons at the eighteenth annual meeting of the Federation, with which are affiliated 15 groups. Irvin F. Lehman, president of the Federation for the past six years, presided at the program.

“We feel,” said Dr. Bernstein, “that although we have a well-rounded-out organization and are doing much at the present time to aid the needy, sick and less fortunate members of the community, the services we render could be greatly widened if the local Jewish populace would take a greater interest in the work.”

The two outstanding accomplishments of the Federation during the past year were the opening of the new $3,000,000 Montefiore Hospital and the dedication of the $650,000 annex to the Irene Kaufmann Settlement.
