LIGHT AT LAST
(Continued from Page 3)
The National Federation of Temple
Sisterhoods and Brotherhoods are al
lied bodies of the U. A. H.C., and the
organization of these individual con
gregational units into a firmer body
for the purpose of conducting larger
activities in which all the groups are
interested will be the aim of the
Convention. Through local organiza
tions the Union is striving to accomp
lish to greater advantage its aims
which embrace the problem of the
unaflfiliated Jews, the problem of
teacher training and general Jewish
education and other needs which arise.
To do this work the Southeastern Fed
eration is urged to form as a single
Federation in which Congregations,
Sisterhoods and Brotherhoods will be
treated and represented as members
of one unit.
Our constant cry has been that it
is only to Jewish youth that we can
look for stimulating Temple attend
ance and encouraging Jewish educa
tion—the sustinance and progress of
Judaism—and there is no more com
plete nor vital contact that our teach
ers and leaders can make than
through an inspired organization of
young men. And though it is a pity
that our own congregation have not
originated a Brotherhood, it is grati
fying to feel that there will be re
sponse from an interested national
group who realize our lack.
B’nai B’rith Lodge Sponsors
Tuberculosis Hospital
(Continued from Page 5)
will be of great service to the project.
The president of the District Grand
Bodge, Mr. Joseph Fromberg is a high
ly enthusiastic worker for everything
that is Jewish, and he has won coun-
try-w : de recognition as an orator and
a Hebrew scholar. Mr. Fromberg,
while highly enthusiastic of the other
activities of the B’nai B’rith, has ex
pressed the opinion that the erection
and the maintaining of a tuberculosis
sanatorium by the Jews, of the East
ern United States, will be the great
est single philantropic undertaking
attempted during the past few years
in this section of the United States.
While definite working plans have
not yet been announced, it is thought
that efforts will he made in the near
future to organize local chapters of
the Sanatorium Association in a num
ber of eastern cities, and as many
Jews as possible will he enrolled in
the membership of the organization.
In the meantime, the steering com
mittee is looking around for a full
time executive secretary who will
serve as the director of the Associa
tion, and who will plan and assist
in the establishment of the sana
torium on a firm foundation.
While there are numerous tubercu
losis sanatoria throughout the land,
and new institutions are established
each year, there are comparatively
few operated under Jewish auspices;
and it is felt by all who have given
the matter any thought, that the es
tablishment of the Asheville Sana
torium will fill a long felt need for
such a philantropic institution.
It is pointed out that funds with
which to carry on an extensive cam
paign throughout the East are very
limited. It is expected that volun
tary contributions and endowments
will he made by individuals and es
tates, which will be sent to Mr. Julius
Reis, 707 G Street, N. W., Washing
ton, D. C.
