The Herman M. Pekaraky Fund, in memory of the late executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Essex County, was established here today by a group of past and present officers of the Council and officers of the Jewish Community Foundation.

As outlined in a statement issued on behalf of the group by Council president Martin Jelin and Foundation president Sidney E. Harris, the Fund will be used to advance research, scholarship and publication in the fields of social welfare and other areas of Jewish interest with which Mr. Pekarsky was identified.

The Fund will be administered within the structure of the Jewish Community Foundation by a special committee. The Foundation, which was created in large part through Mr. Pekarsky’s efforts, was established to receive, administer and allocate funds and property for capital and special purposes of the Council and its beneficiaries agencies Planned as a memorial, the Herman M. Pekarsky Fund is open to gifts and bequests now and at any time in the future.
