As the world honors centennial year of Jane Addams, famed
champion of the poor and friendless and founder of Chicago’s
Hull House, it is worth recalling thftt during all her years in
Chicago she had close ties with the leaders of the Jewish
community, and particularly those associated with Jewish
Community Centers and the National Jewish Welfare Board.
This Jong forgotten photograph dramatically epitomizes those
ties. It was taken in 1983 at a dinner honoring Jacob M. Loeb,
(6th from left), who was retiring as president of the Jewish
People’s Institute, now part of the Chicago Jewish Com
munity Centers, and as a vice-president of JWB. Miss Addams
(4th^from left) was the principal speaker, for she had been
a friend and neighbor of the JPI and its leaden for 86 years.
Mr. Loeb’s grandson, Hamilton Loeb, Jr., is nbtr president of
the Chicago Jewish Community Centers. Others in the photo
are: the late Rabbi Solomon Goldman (8d from left); Mrs.
Florence G. Heller (3d from right), now a vice president of
JWB; Samuel A. Goldsmith (2d from right), executive vice-
president of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago,
who was the first executive of the Council of Young Men’s
Hebrew and Kindred Associations, JWB’s predecessor; and
the late Dr. Philip L. Seman, general director of the Jewish
People’s Institute for 32 years. The Jane Addams Houses
occupy the site on which JPI building stood from 1908 to 1927.

Herzl this past week to mark
the centenary of the birth of
the founder of modern political
Zionism.
As a workers choir sang selec
tions from Handels oratorio,
“Saul,” Acting President Kad-
dish Luz, Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion and S. Z. Shazar,
chairman of the Jewish Agency
executive in Jerusalem unveiled
the block which was carved out
of the Galilee hills.
Representatives of more than
20 towns, 25 local councils, 15
regional councils and some 150
settlements placed memorial
stones around the Herzl tomb.
The audience included more
than 1,000 persons among them
tourists from the United States,

Teachers and seminary students

in the audience.
A proclamation in the name
of the Israel Government and
the World Zionist Organization
executive was read during the
ceremony.
“When the axe of extermina
tion fell upon the Jewish com
munity in European exile,
Herzl’s dream became the ban
ner of those who rose in revolt
and in the final struggle for
freedom, it strengthened the
hands of the people of Israel,”
it was declared in the proclama
tion.
“May this monument bring to
all the dispersed of our people
the message that his dream of
renewed independence has be
come life. The sweat arid blood
of our sons and daughters made
a reality of his legend.” The
proclamation also expressed the
hope that “the homeland will
continue to be a citadel and refu
ge for the scattered people,
dedicated to the revival of our
ancient glory and to the estab
lishment of the state on the
basis of justice, peace and hap
piness.”
