Synagogues Ask for Religious
Articles for Liberated Jews

Michigan Synagogue Conference Asks for Sifr e
- Torah and
Other Religious Articles for Communities
Freed From the Nazis

The Michigan Synagogue Con-
ference has issued an appeal to
congregations and individuals in
Detroit calling upon all who can
spare Sifre Torah and other reli-
gious articles to be sent to liber-
ated Europe to bring them to the
office of the Synagogue Confer-
ence, 12219 Dexter.
The call quotes an appeal for
such articles issued by the Syna-
gogue Council of America. The
latter's appeal states in part:
"With the liberation of Eu-
rope, Jewish communities in the
various countries have begun to
reconstitute themselves. Little
bands of Jews all over Europe
creep out of their hiding places.

Solicit Donations

Men, women and children, who
have survived the greatest or-
ganized death and pillage cam-
paign in all history, begin to or
ganize for life. With the help
of the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, Jewish communities in
Italy and France have already
made great progress toward the
reestablishment of their cultur-
al, educational and religious life.
"The Joint Distribution Com-
mittee has made substantial
funds available to the Jewish
communities in the liberated
countries to enable them to re-
open and rebuild Synagogues, to
repair cemeteries, to open Jew-
ish schools. Many requests for
Sifre Torah, Tefillin and Mezzu-
zoth have already been received.
A sufficient supply of Torahs
and other religious articles can-
not, however, be obtained in the
European countries.

Makes Great Progress

"A modest number of Sifre
Torah and Megilloth have been
collected in response to a recent
appeal made through the respec-
tive rabbinical and congregation-
al groups, but not nearly enough
to meet demands. The JDC has
enlisted the cooperation of the
Synagogue Council to solicit fur-
ther donations of urgently need-
ed scrolls, Tefillin, Megilloth and
Mezzuzoth. We are sure that
with the help of our Rabbis and
congregations, every community

in liberated Europe can be pro-.
vided with a Sefer Torah and
the other needed articles. We
are, therefore, asking you to
place this request before your
congregations and to secure do-
nations of usable Sifre Torah
and other religious articles
which you are able to spare at
the present time."

At its second organizational
