An Important Message
to the Jews of Detroit:
T
HIS is a matter that con-
cerns every Jew in De-
troit. It has an important
bearing upon his standing
in the community; upon his
peace of mind; upon the
future status of the Jewish
people in their relation to
the general pliblic of De-
troit.
During the next week,
as everyone knows, the De-
troit Community Fund will
carry on its annual cam-
paign. As in years past
various Jewish causes will
look to the fund for their
support.
In this respect the Jews
are treated no differently
than other groups. But in
one respect their status is
decidedly different. It is
this. The Jews are setting
out, AS JEWS, to secure the
contributions of their
FELLOW-JEWS.
The men and women who are setting out
on the job of raising money for the Detroit
Community Fund are bringing a fine devo-
tion to their task. They are willing. They
are earnest. They are volunteers.
They confidently expect that they will
raise a larger sum of money than has ever
before been secured from the Jewish people
of Detroit for a charitable cause.
BUT there are certain facts with which
the general Jewish public should be familiar
before they are asked to give.
In the measure that these facts are
known and recognized will the work of the
Detroit Service Group of the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation be made more notable and
significant.
The first of these facts is that the Jewish
philanthropic organizations of Detroit are
asking for more money from the Detroit
Community Fund this year than ever before.
Over three hundred thousand dollars
must be provided for our Jewish social serv-
ice agencies. This sum is $40,000 over and
above the amount provided last year. IT IS
TWICE THE SUM PROVIDED IN 1925.

Jewish orphans must be fed, clothed, and
sheltered.
Jewish aged must be taken care of in a
way that will brighten the days of their de-
cline.
Jewish sick must be restored to health if,
God willing, that is possible.
Jewish children who are under-privi-
leged, must be given health-building vaca-
tions.
Jewish mothers must be helped to take
their babies away from the heat and smoke
of the city during the summer days.
Jewish poor must be aided over the labor
crises.
Jewish delinquents must be restored to
decent society.
Jewish young men and women must be
provided with clean, constructive, congenial
companions and a wholesome character-
building atmosphere.
These are the distinctly Jewish enterprises which
are in Jewish hands. In addition, therc are many
others in which Jews participate and from which
they profit.
Among these are the Visiting Housekeepers'
Association, the Visiiting Nurses' Association, Wo-
men's Hospital, Children's Hospital, and Boy Scouts.

When a Jew contributes to the Community Fund
he is helping his people through these non-sectarian
organizations as well as through the established and
responsible Jewish agencies.
No self-respecting Jew can want us to take out of
the Community Fund more money than we put
into it.
The eyes of the city are on us in this work.

You must increase your gift. Detroit
expects every J e w to do his duty.

This work of fund-raising from
the Jewish public is a responsibility
that the Jews value. They are glad
to serve in this important and nec-
essary work. They have an agency
that was organized for just such an
enterprise --- The Detroit Service
Group of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration.
There is a good reason why the Detroit
Community Fund conceded the increase in
the Jewish budgets. It is because more
money is needed to carry on the work of our
great and growing Jewish community.
It is absolutely necessary that the Jews of Detroit
give to the Community Fund more than ever before.
This message must strike home. You must evi-
dence your Jewish spirit of co-operation and help-
fulness by giving quickly, whole-heartedly, gener-
ously.
