Rabbi Israel Rosenberg, presi- dent of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the U. S. and Canada and President of the United Charity Institutions of Jerusalem issued a statement about the gravity of the present situation in the Holy Land which will Prove catastrophic if help is not immediately forthcoming. "The United Charity Institu- tions of Jerusalem" Rabbi Rosen- berg pointed out, "is an organi- zation which comprises the great- est and foremost institutions in the Holy Land, such as the "Etz Chaim" Theological Colleges and School System which is already one hundred years old; the Bicur Cholim Hospitals under the lead- ership of Professor Hermann Zondeck, the Free Dispensaries and the only Home for Incurable Invalids in Palestine. These in- stitutions are now faced with the tragic possibility of being forced to give up their most essential activities." "A cablegrom received from Dr. Herzog, Chief Rabbi of the Holy Land, stresses the import- ance of immediate help so that these institutions may be able to fulfill their great task towards helping thousands of students, Rabbis, sick and destitute people there." "Until the outbreak of the present European conflict, these institutions had been receiving help from many European coun- tries, from Palestine proper and from Americ. The help from Eu- rope has been completely cut off with the participation of the ma- jor European powers in this war. Palestinian Jewry has become so impoverished by the effects of war that virtually no help can be expected from Palestinian Jews. The only ones that can 'find must send help are the Jews from America. But the spread of the war over the Mediterranean Sea even to the shores of the Holy Land has disrupted all direct mail connections between Amer- ica and Palestine. The institu- tions cannot expect to receive any help unless it is sent by cable. It is understood that in- dividual donors cannot undertake to send their small donations by cable which entails considerable expense This can be done only collectively by a central organi- zation such as the American Headquarters of the United Char- ity Institutions of Jerusalem lo- cated at 207 East Broadway, New York. The institutions in Jeru- salem, therefore, request that all their friends and sympathezers in America send their donations to the New York Office which re- mits all available funds by cable to Jerusalem." Rabbi Rosenberg concludes his statement with a strong and most emphatic appeal to all liberal- and charity-minded people to pre- vent a most disastrous tragedy which is inevitable should the ia- stitutions be forced because of lack of funds to discontinue their humanitarian work. It would be a national calamity and an un- pardonable historic disgrace should our generation permit the disappearance of the great ach- ievments of the previous genera- tions who with blood, sweat and tears have built such wonderful institutions. Every conscientious man and woman must, therefore, rush to the assistance of the Unit- ed Charity Institutions of Jeru- salem before it is too late. Happy New Year to All JERUSALEM. Dr. F. C.
