Kadimah Israel Day Nursery Glorifies Its History
Lodge leaves a legacy —
in the philanthropy that
inherited its accumu-
lated funds. It was thanks
to two former presidents
of Jericho Lodge, Meyer
Cooper and Edward Mil-
ler, that children in Israel
are benefiting — in the
form of the Kadimah Day
Nursery which could be
sublabeled IOOF
Jericho.

community. Fourteen years
later, in July 1933, Jericho
instituted and chartered a
class of 50 young men, ages
13-18, into its junior lodge.
It was known as "Jer-Pal,"

Many of these young men
became members in the
senior lodge and provided
its leadership.
Elected as the lodge's first

It had the fate of the
Landsmanshaften and after
more than half a century of
activity it gave up the
struggle for existence.
It was not like a land-
smanshaft because it was
part of a national interfaith
organization, the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows.
But even the merited IOOF
did not lend it survivalism.
When the children do not

chance for living.
Nevertheless, Jericho
Jericho Lodge had a six-
decade record of services
that distinguished it among
fraternal Jewish organiza-
tions. It established a record
for philanthropy. It func-
tioned in a building of its
own that, under the title of
Jericho Temple, was among
the chief meeting places in
the community.
