Make Report Oh the Work of Commission on Jewish Education
Dr.   David   Philipson   Revi'ews
Achievements   Which   Have
Been Made During The
Past Year
URGES DEVELOPIVIENT OF A JEWISHLY TRAINED LAITY IN THIS COUNTRY
CAPK MAY. N. J.-ncclaring tliat the Rrowniir generation must be guartkd agaihst thb imprcssinn th.it their Jewish r^ehgiou!, trainiiiK is something alien to their American life. Dr. David Philiiisnn, chairman of the Cammii.sion on Jewish Education, in a report presented tn the Cenlral Conference of Anierican Rabbis,, made a strong pica for the (lcvcloi)ment of a Jcwibhly trained laity. Jewish edu¬ cation must give to our youth, he added, inspiration that will aid tliem in increas¬ ing the spiritual power in our American environment.
Ill his report Ur. Philip.wn stated that interest m Jewish education is increasing in Jewish 'commuhities throughout the country. Hd also reviewed the work of the Commission, wTiich is made up 'of representatives of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Union of American Hebrew Congregations.
Interest Increasing
"From year to year the' interest in Jcwi&h education 'ib increasing in this country," Dr. Philipson said, "Our congregations throughout the land are awake to the need of providing increased facilities for the religious education of the children and the yimth. Bureaus of Jewish education have heen organized in a number pf cities Conventions of Jew¬ ish educators are being held for the con¬ sideration of the problems in thi<; prov¬ ince. Possibly the gravest of tliese prob¬ lems is how to keep burning the flame of religious interest and enthusiasm in our modern American environment. The pit¬ fall of divorcing Jewish culture and edu¬ cation from the religious content must bc avoided. Our Jewish inheritance and our American outlook must be blended, Of all things the growing generation must tc guarded against the impression that their Jewish religious training is something alien to their American life and vision.
"The eternal values of Judaism must be interpreted for them in terms of present significance. Jewish education may not be a thing apart from the life now be¬ ing lived. It may not be presented as an exotic. Of old it was said by the law-giver that the commandments which the Lord gave were guch, that the people should live by them. Such nmst be the Jewish education imparted to the rising generation, Tb be really effective this education must enable the young men and women to draw that inspiration from Jewish sources which shall make for ever increasing spiritual power in our Ameri¬ can environment. Our children and J outh of today must through our efforts beqome the builders of the future. Un¬ less such be the outcome of educational striving, we shall have labored in vain. To that end all our efforts mu^t be di- 1 ected."
24 Manuscripts Handled
Tlie Commission on Jewish Education, Dr. Philipson said, handled 21 manu¬ scripts during the past year, and in addi¬ tion participated in the establishment of the Conference of University Religious Work; has taken a stand on week-day religious instruction, and aided in ar¬ ranging exhibits and lectures on Jewish education before Jewish assemblies throughout the country.

"The sixth quarterly payment to the United Jeu-isli Fnnd of Coltini- Ims ih due now," annoimecs Edwin J. Schanfarber, Cliairnian of the Fund. "In order ti> meet run' obligations to the various charitable and educational causes as they mature, it is ini))crative tlylt every subscriber make prompt remittances. During the past 6+tewi months sijr^ay- ments of.$4.5^3.83 each have been niade.tu the Joint Uistribution Com¬ mittee for foreign relief work; six-'lSj'ments of $1,666.(56 each have been made to The United Palestine Appeal for rehabilitation and edu¬ cational work in the Holy Land; and Biit-pjiynients of $833.00 have been madq to the Columbus Hebrew School whicli is doing such fine work in behalf of the training of our youth in the religious traditions of our forefathers. At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of The United Jewish Fiind $1200.00 wis allotted to the local Council of Jewish Women for philanthropic work for the year 1927. It is in¬ teresting to note that the National Campaigns in behalf of the B'nai BVith Wider Scoi)e committee and the Jewish Orphan Home of Cleve¬ land have already been taken care of through the Colunibus United Jewish Fund. Other smaller allotments to various projects and causes have also been made.
Chairman Schanfarber is issuing ail appeal to all the subscribers to co-operate with him in carrying out his arduous tasks by making their sixth quarterly payments at once. In a little message which he is sending out from headquarters he explains in detail (I) the salient results of his labors, (.2) what he and his Board are doing with the funds entrusted to their care, and (3) how the Fund has welded this Jewish Comniunity into a co-ordinated and well directed unil, etc., etc.
At the begimiing of our big drive on April 20th, 1926, Mr. Schail- farbcr_!iwfiounced as our slogan "ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL IN LIVING AND GIVING." This bcautifid slogan has been adhered to most faithfully and the rank and file of our people in Cgluni- bus have been convinced that the idea of a J^wishCommunity Chest as conceived by iir. Schanfarberis_a-niosr'comiuendable one.
Now that we have enterctfTnto the second year of service, Mr. Schanfarber and his splendid co-workers trust that the spirit of the above-mentioned slogan will continue to inspire us and to imbue us with a keener and more vigorous desire to help the meritorious causes for which we have been united.
May the true spirit of benevolence and brotherly co-operation ani¬ mate us, so that we will perform our duties witli thanks to God for our ability to do so.

Formal Announcement of $1,000,000 Campaign Is Expected at the Annual Meeting of the Jewish Orphan Home of Cleveland, July Sth and 10th
Prdiminary Organization Work Has Been Going On For Some
Time—^The Campaign Executive Committee Will Be Made

CLEVELAND, OHIO.—Formal announcement of a campaign to raise $t^- 000,000 in District No. 2, Independent Order, B'Nai B'Rith, for the Cleveland Jewish Orphan Home, is expected at the annual nieeting of the Home here July !) and 10.
Preliminary organization work has been going on for some time, it is under- «ilnod, but those in charge of tbe proposed drive decided to wait until the approaching annual meeting to make public announcement of tbe campaign.
The Campaign Executive Committee, according to advance reports, will be made up nf Fre<l Lazarus, Jr., Columlius, Ohio, president of the Home;' Louts J.' Borinstein, Indianapolis; Rabbi Samuel Mayerberg, Dayton, Ohio; Philip Schier, Kansas City, Mo., and E. J. Schanfarber, Columbus, Ohio,
It is practically assured that campaign headquarters will be established in Columbus.
The High Spot
Launching of the cam])aign is expected to be tbe high spot of the meeting here, which will be attended by representatives of communities in B'Nai B'Rith District No. -1, which takes in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. '
Announcement of the $1,000,000 drive will conic,as no surprise to those who luie kept in close contact with the situation in regard to the Cleveland Jewish Orph.m Home. For some time there has been extreme dissatisfaction with the condition of tlic present buildings at the Home.
President Lazarus fretpiently has pointed out that the present buildings, many of which are more than liO years old, present a difificult problem in sanitation and cinld care. The very location of the Home tends to place the morals and even tl\e lives of tile children in jeopardy. It is in a congested, undesirable, generally un¬ sanitary neighborboo<l, which boasts a municipal dumping ground—a breeder of rats and purveyor of stench.
Imperative NeccHsity ,
The buildings themselves are antiiiualed and inadequate—100 children being compelled to e.it at one time in a small dining room, while "200 children often play in a single room at one time.

M'LANTIC CITY. N. J.—The Lip¬ sky adniini'Jtratioii, somewhat modified . •iikI strciif^lhcned by the iiichisioii of new members in the Administrative Commit¬ tee, was returned to power at the closing session of the thirtieth annual convention of the Zionist Organization of America which ended here last night.
Louis Lipsky, who came out the victor under the attack of the opposition, when on the day preceding the conventioil adopted the report of the administration by an overwhelming majority, was unani¬ mously re-elected president by an en¬ thusiastic vote of acclamation. Similarly, ^iss Henrietta Szold was elected vice- president of the organization. The change in the compobition of the admin¬ istration was manifested in the fact that no other vice-presidents were elected as had been the case in previous years. Greater Harinony
The Administrative committee was .re¬ constituted in such a manner as to bring about greater harmony and consolidation between the various constituencies artd factions whhin the organization. For this purpose the number of members fn the Administrative Committee wa"; in¬ creased to 25 and includes, outside of the president, a number of spokesmen for the group which came into power follow¬ ing the Cleveland convention, as well as a considerable element of the Brandeis group. The composition of the Adminis¬ trative Committee, coupled with certain resolutions adopted by the convention boncerning the administrative policies, were termed by the factions which re¬ mained dissatisfied with the result, as an introduction of "Brandeisism without Brandeis." This opinion is better under¬ stood on the background of the opening days of the convention when the possi¬ bility of the return of Justice Brandeis to active participation in Zionist leader¬ ship was heatedly discussed.
The following .were elected to the Ad¬ ministrative Committee: Samuel Rosen- ^ sohn, Morri'! Rothenberg, Norvin R. Lindheim, I. D. Morrison, A Liebowitz, Philip Wattenburg, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Judge Otto A. Roaalsky, Albert Rosen¬ blatt, Lawrence Berertson, Dr. J^ordecai M. Kaplan, Elihu D. Stone, Irma L. Lindheim, Mrs. Robert Szold, Mrs. Anna Moskowitz Kross, Mrs. Israel Goldstein, Mrs. Archibald Silverman, Judge Wil¬ liam Lewis, Maurice Samuel, Harry P. Fierst, Isaac Meister, Louis Topkis, Dr. A. Corahiick, Dr. David J. Kaliski and Jacob Fishman, , ,
What the Hadasaah Did        \
The formation of the new Administrji- tive Committee was brought about njat without considerable delay and a painful procebs of elimination and political com¬ binations. As rumor had it, the fact that the Zionist constituencies were ap¬ parently divided over the Brandeis issue was taken advantage of by the Hadassah, the Zionifit Women's Organization, which, according to rumor, had originally nego¬ tiated with the sponsors of firajideis' re¬ turn. It was reported that an under¬ standing between the Hadassah leaders and the spokesmen for the Lipsky admin¬ istration was reached, by which the new administration was to include a certain number of representatives of the Ha¬ dassah as well as a certain number of (Continued on pofif o>
