The Executive of the Warsaw Jewish Community, on which there is an Agudist majority, ratified at its meeting today the budget estimates for 1932, amounting to 5,186,000 zlotys, of which 60 per cent. goes for religious activities, including the appointment of new Rabbis, and the building of a new ritual bath.
The Zionist members of the Executive of the Community, who have protested that there is urgent need of big allocations for secular needs, and who are also annoyed because the Executive rejected their demand made about a fortnight ago for a continuation of the Community’s subsidy to the Palestine Foundation Fund, Keren Hayesod, the Jewish National Fund and the Feholuz Organisation, absented themselves from the meeting as a sign of protest, and the Folkist members cast their votes against the budget.
