lected During Last Half Year

The semi-annual meeting of
the Vaad Ha-Yeshivoth (Michi-
gan committee for the support
of Yishivoth and religious-chari-
table organizations) was held
Jan. 15, at Beth Abraham Syna-
gogue. Rabbi Leizer Levin pre-
sided, and Rabbi Joshua Sperka
acted as secretary.
The financial statement for
July-December, 1941, given by
the treasurer, M. H. Zackheini,
showed that a total of $30,4445.T
45 had been collected locally
through the medium of the Vaad.
Of this sum $11,484.29 was rep-
resented by the combined appeal
for the maintenance of Yeshi-
voth in Lithuania, and the emer-
gency campaign for students
stranded in Shanghai. Palestinian
Yeshivoth received $7,985.18 and
social welfare institutions of the
old Yishuv $4,262.26. Hungarian
Yeshivoth received $878.10 and
American Yeshivoth, $3,422.99.
A number of miscellaneous so-
licitations were included in the
report.
Rabbi M. J. Wohlgelernter re-
ported that 21 credentials were
issued during the period to so-
licitors whose bona fides were
investigated.
Monies are forwarded by the
Vaad Ha-Yeshivoth directly to
the institutions by cable.
Due to the expansion of the
activities of the Vaad, it has
been found necessary to engage
a responsible executive, and for
this function the board of di-
rectors named Rabbi Jacob Cohn.
Rabbi Cohn studied at the He-
brew Theological College of Chi-
cago and at Palestinian Yeshi-
voth, and is a graduate of the
University of Chicago. He is
author of "The Royal Table".
Once a resident of Detroit, he
has just returned from a four
years' stay in Palestine. He will
take up his duties at the new
office of the Vaad Ha-Yeshivoth,

ler 7-7585.
