GERMAN RABBIS ASK
SUPPORT FOR FUND

.

Painting and Decorating

;Oswald Leitert

B•RLIN.--1.1. T. A.)---The suit-
port of German rabbis for the work
of the Jewish national fund was
expressed in an appeal to the Jew-
ish public in Germany to contribute
to the fund.
'rhis is the first time that a large
number of German rabbis have
made at public appeal in behalf of
the Jewish national fund. The ape
peal points out that the rabbis in
issuing the call are acting as a
result of a unanimous decision of
the German l•nion of Rabbis. The
appeal concludes by saying that it
is the holy duty of Jew's to sup-
port the upleuilding of Palestine.
