Hon. Alfred M. Cohen, of Cincinnati,
international president of B’nai B’ritth,
said in his message last Spring to the
Thirteenth Quinquennial Convention of
that Order:
“I make bold to say that Jewry and
Judaism are less menaced by assault
from without than from insiduous en
croachment of indifference within the
fold. Of all the requirements of our
day none approaches in importance
the training of an enlightened Jewish
laity.
“Our people are charged with being
greedy in their quest for education,
but that quest is in every direction
except the one which has preserved
them alive—Jewish education. T liis
is chiefly responsible for the indiffer
ence of all too many Jews toward
their heritage.
“As a residt many Jews and Jew
esses on enrolling in universities try to
conceal what they arc. Providing
these same students with a Jewish
background inspires them with self-
respect. A change has come in the
spirit of the Jewish boys and girls
in universities where B’nai B’rith
Hillel Foundations exist.
“We are reliably informed that no
Jewish student in such a university
attempts to conceal his ancestry. If
our Foundation movement had accom
plished nothing more, we might well
say M)a-Enu’.”
The Hillel Foundation movement is
but one of the activities in which
B'nai B’rith is engaged and to which
its seven American District Grand
Lodges made up of 38b subordinate
Lodges, with a total membership of
approximately (>0,000, are revoting their
energies. In the United States, the
following philanthropic institutions are
maintained either in whole or in part
by B’nai B’rith:
B’nai B’rith Home for Aged. Yonk
ers, N. Y.; B’nai B’rith Home for
Children. Erie, Pa.; Jewish Orphan
Home, Cleveland, Ohio; Hebrew Or
phan's Home, Atlanta, Ga.; Jewish
Widows’ and Orphans’ Home, New
Orleans, La.; Leo N. Levi Memorial
Hospital, Hot Springs, Ark.; Touro
Infirmary, New Orleans, l.a.; Maimon-
ides Hospital, Liberty, N. Y.; Mem
phis Home for Aged, Memphis, Tenn.;
the National Jewish Hospital, Denver,
Colo.
Because of the thousands of Jewish
sufferers from every walk of life who
go annually to the Mayo Clinic at
Rochester, Minn., in the hope of find
ing relief, a Jewish problem of con
siderable proportion was in the making.
Rochester’s Jewish population is very
small and totally inadequate to meet
the situation which was becoming
acute; besides it was the concern of
all Jewry in America and not of a
single community.
B’nai B’rith, after investigating and
consulting with the Doctors Mayo,
established itself full heartily in Ro
chester with a trained social worker,
whose office is in the Clinic building,
in charge. The Order is praised and
thanked by the multitudes it is serving
and besides has removed what might
soon have developed into a sad re
flection on the name and character
of the Jewish people.
B’nai B’rith also maintains a de
partment in Washington through
which the Order has been able to ob
tain relief for worthy imigrants from
too strict interpretation of the strin
gent provisions of the imigration laws.
Maurice I). Rosenberg has been in
charge of this office and he is care
fully watching developments on the
proposed alien registration legislation.
The Anti-Defamation League of
B’nai B’rith was created fifteen years
ago and is endeavoring through two
methods to promote a better under
standing between Jews and non-Jews.
It has established a lecture bureau
which sends speakers to Rotary, Ki-
wanis, and similar organizations usual
ly in smaller cities which have no rab
bis or other representatives to present
the aims and ideals of Judaism. The
other method adopted is a co-opera
tive effort of the B’nai B’rith and the
Committee on Goodwill Between Jews
and Christians of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in America.
With the introduction of the speak
ing film, many of which arc proudeed
in the Last, a second advisory board
has been appointed by B’nai B’rith,
at the request of General Hays. This
board is composed of Rabbi Isaac
Landman, David N. Mosessohn and
Maurice P. Davidson, all of New York.
1 he work of the Anti-Defamation
League is under the supervision of the
B nai B rith Anti-Defamation Commis
sion, present members of which are
as follows:
Alfred M. Cohen, Cincinnati; Dr. I.
