VOL. I.

Editor's Note:

This month we disp)ace the usual information and news of the United Jewish Charities to
make room for an appeal that should be of interest to every Jew. 1 ,17 . urge you to read it.—The
Editor.

Let Us See
if You are

Proud To Be A Jew!"

Remember when you were a kid---the battles
you used to fight with the little urchins of the
neighborhood?
Remember how they teased you, and now
and then someone would speak in derision of
your faith---called you a "Jew," most likely?
And then, if you were a girl, you would start
to cry---and if, you were a boy, you prepared to
"clean up" on the crowd?
But, in either case, you threw out your little
chest and answered: "I'm proud to be a Jew."

The Jews are going to get a great deal from
the Patriotic Fund.
The Jewish sufferers from the war will get
$350,000.00.
The United Jewish Charities will get over
$60,000.00.
The Jewish Fresh Air Society will get over
$12,000.00.
And a number of other Jewish causes will
get several hundred thousand dollars more.

You've said it a good many times since then,

In order that we Jews should justify the tre-
mendous sums to be given us, we must "come
across."
Just because we are Jews it is up to us to be
doubly generous with our time and with our
money.
May no one say: "The Jews fell down!"

too.
You said it when Col. Cutler told you that we
had furnished more than our share of soldiers
for the army.
You said it when you heard that old Rabbi
Hirsh had pressed a crucifix to the lips of a
dying Catholic lad.
You said it when Julius Rosenwald gave a
million dollars to save his starving brethren in
Europe.
You said it whenever a Jew was crowned
with honor or praised for service to mankind.
"I'm proud to be a Jew."

You've said it often enough.
Now, inasmuch as money talks, let your
money speak for you! "I'm proud to be a Jew!"

ili

If you are proud to be a Jew, here's your
chance to prove it---
Prove it by giving more than your share
when the drive is on---November 3 to 8.
Prove it by giving your time to the teams of
workers---
Prove it by volunteering your services right
away!
Then will men listen when you say: "I'm
M. M. A.
proud to be a Jew!"
