The organization is proud that during the time of its existence it has accomplished the following, among others:
Helped all the important Hebrew schools in Europe, America and Palestine.
Helped to defeat the daylight savings plan so as to enable Jewish storekeepers to observe the Sabbath better.
Helped Jewish students in the schools, colleges and universities of Maryland to observe the Sabbath and Jewish holidays.
Kept the courts and other institutions posted as to Jewish holidays, thus assisting members of the bar of Jewish faith in aiding them to observe those holidays.
Helped Sabbath-observers to find positions.
