Russian government. The founder of the society was Simon Heavenrich. At his instance, Dr. Henry Zirndorf, Rabbi of Temple Beth El, called a meeting on Aug. 20, 1882, to elikrm a society "fur the purpose alleviating the distressed con- dition of the Russian exiles, both morally and physically." • The meeting was attended by Dr. Zirndorf, who acted as chair- man, Simon Heavenrich, and Mesdames Seligman Schloss, Henry Zirndorf, Moses Cohen, Simon Heavenrich, M.
