TELSHE YESHIVAH

Cleveland, Ohio

Detroit Jewish News

Dear Editor,
The Telshe Yeshivah extends its warmest felicitotions and

best wishes to the Detroit Senior Bicur Cholem Organization,

upon the occasion of celebrating their 63rd. Annual Banquet.

During ur recent visit to your city, we witnessed the noble
and devoted work that is being done by this group of dedicated
women, headed by its president, Mrs. Leah Techner, and Mrs.

Ida Soloi-Kaplan. Theirs is a record of outstanding services in
bringing cheer and comfort to the Jewish sick and needy.

Upon this opportunity we also express our gratitude to

the Bicur Cholem for having set up the dispensary in the Telshe
Yeshivah, whose student-body includes some twenty-five De-

troiters.

We pray that each and every worker and supporter of

this holy cause be blessed with health and happiness, and may

your organization grow from strength to strength.
