Tite Southern Israelite Page 12 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.
