Series of Radio Addresses to Bring Appeal for 29 Causes to Detroit Jewry; Gerhart Seger, Eminent German Refugee, Former Member of Reichstag, to Address Lunch- eon Meeting of Workers on Monday, May 13 An array of nationally prominent Jewish leaders will be heard at the dinner at Hotel Statler this Sunday evening, May 5, on the occasion of the official opening of the Allied Jewish Campaign for a quota of $270,000. • The scene set for the inauguration of this important community fund - raising effort will be marked by an unusual arrangement whereby outstanding members of ten of the leading communities in this country will speak from their homes over a specially arranged telephone broadcasting system in behalf of the 29 causes included in the drive. The list of ten speakers who will address the dinner from various parts of the country will not be made public until Sunday evening. Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, national chairman of the fund-raising committee of the Amer- ican Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, will be the principal speaker at the dinner, in addition to the leaders whose addresses over the long distance telephone, coming exclus- ively This Is a Crucial Year for Jewish 'Cothttniti- so tates Divi`P , April 1935 14th Quinquennial of B'nai B'rith May 4-8 TO THE JEWS OF DETROIT: F Z. 0, A., HADASSAH UNITED ON SLATE This seems to be the crucial year for our Detroit Jewish community. We shall find out whether we are interested in fact in our coreligionists and brothers in the benighted parts of Europe. Do we care about the new life in Palestine and the Hebrew University? Is the enthusiasm for a new home for the aged hysteria or genuine? Can our various groups work together even if they do not accept every item of each program? Is Detroit willing to carry its share of the established national institutions to which it has contributed in the past? Are we willing to keep open our Hebrew Schools, even if on a pitiably reduced basis? FATHER COUGHLIN AND THE RABBIS There are signs that we will receive a favorable answer. If our contributions of last year are raised from $140,000 to $170,000 and if in addition we receive $100,000 for the Old Folks' Home, the program can go over and we will again have the satisfaction of having done a job decently, helping where help is needed, and welding together a community which can progress.
