CAMDEN JEWS OPEN DRIVE
To Raise Fund for Jewish Charities, Indorse School
Camden Jews opened the great drive of the Federation of Jewish Charities, of Camden, with a mass meeting at the Towers Theatre last night. Morris Berman, chairman of the board of directors, announced it had been decided to accept the plan of including the Jewish Consumptive Sanitarium in Denver as among the charities to be aided by the drive. He stated that the consensus of opinion was that every charity, whether local or distant, should be included if the Federation is to live up to its promise of doing away with individual collections of the various relief societies and merging all into itself.
Addresses were made by Rabbi B. L. Levanthall, of Nation-wide reputation as a leader of Orthodox Jews; Rabbi Riff, of the Congregation Sons of Israel Synagogue of Camden; Lawyer Max Hertzberg, of Philadelphia; Jacob Billicopf, William B. Leaff and others.
Included among the items of charity will be the erection of a proposed school and community house. It was announced at the meeting that the various teams appointed several days ago will make reports at the Y. M. H. A. Building, Sixth and Walnut streets, regularly during the progress of the campaign through the various captains.
