is especially true in the Jewish

women to the Torah and to count
them for a “minyan” actually con
stitute a revolution in the age-old
Jewish traditions with regard to
the status of women in the syna
gogue. . . They were reached only
after several years of stormy dis
cussions within the Reconstruc
tion^ movement. . . However,
they, are being practiced now and
it looks as if the time is not too
distant when more women will be
called up to the Torah than men.
. . . This is because women are to
day far more active in synagogue
life than the men. . . Women are
on the boards of trustees of num
erous synagogues, and in many
congregations the women’s divi
sion is an integral part of the con-
Communal Guidance
The sum of $125,000,000 is now
being raised annually for local,
regional, national and overseas
Jewish needs by 255 Jewish com
munities affiliated wtih the Coun
cil of Jewish Federations and
Welfare Funds. . . These commu
nities comprise at least 95 per cent
of the Jewish population of the
United States and Canada. . .
Their associate local Jewish
services receive about $8,000,000
annually from local Community
Chests. . . To raise such large
sums is, of course, a challenging
responsibility. . . But equally chal
lenging is the responsibility of
distributing these funds wisely
and justly. . . How the funds
should be distributed, which needs
should be met and to what extent
—these are the questions which
require responsible thinking and
careful weighing. . .
Community budget committees |
have, therefore, no easy task on
their hands. . . They are con
fronted with pleas for funds from
scores of organizations and insti
tutions often located hundreds, or
even thousands, of miles from the
community. . . They cannot ob
serve the work of these agencies
at first hand, and the requests
usually total more than what is
available. . . As stewards of com
munal funds, the members of
these budgeting committees must
weigh many types of needs—local,
national and overseas, represented
by various types of agencies. . .
To help the budgeting commit
tees in their complicated work, the
Council of Jewish Federations and
Welfare Funds has prepared for
gregation. . .

AGING JEWS
The problem of providing homes
and “Golden Age” day centers for
aged Jews is now one of the major
problems facing numerous Jewish
communities. . . The number of
Jews who are 65 and older is in
creasing from year to year ,and
not all of them can live with their
children. . . Sixty eight Jewish
homes for aged have now about
11,000 inmates. . . And this is 4 per
cent more than last year. . .
On the othher hand, children
feel uneasy about having their
parents live alone, especially
when one of the parents is dead.
. . . It is true that many aged
Jews, especially workers in the
garment trades, have fewer econ
omic fears because of social se
curity and union pensions. . . But
it is also true that even those aged
Jews feel lonely and out of place
after retirement. . . It is for such
persons that all-day centers and
“Golden Age" clubs are now being j
organized by Jewish organiza-1
tions. , . Within the dignified ■
quarters of such day centers, the
olders — men and women — meet
and cultivate friendships and for
get their emotional ailments. . .
A book depicting the work of
one such community center has
just been published by the Inter
national Universities Press under
the title “Group Work with the
Aged.’’. . . Written by two social
workers, Susan H. K u b i c and
Gertrude Landau, the volume
shows how a group of 40 aged
people, which included 2 2Jews,
15 Protestants and three Catholics,
managed to develop common in
terests in various activities at the
center. . . Some of them displayed
interest in painting and wood
work, others in poetry, music,
dramatics and all kind of group
discussions. . . In this way they
gradually regained self-confidence
and attachment to life which some
of them had lost earlier when
they had nothing to do. . .
