Since its organization three years
ago, the Oheb Shalom Sisterhood Of
Sandusky, Ohio has been guided by
two principal purposes. The first of
these is to maintain firm bond of
sympathy and sociability among the
Jewish women Of the city. The Sec
ond is to provide a Synagog which
would serve as a Jewish center as
well.
The one purpose has certainly been
accomplished and the prospects of at
tanning the other are bright. A whole
some relationship exists among the
Jewish women of Sandusky, thanks
to the weekly meetings held in the
homes of Sisterhood members.
A fund for providing a synagog,
and which is supported by proceeds
from social functions given by the
Sisterhood is growing large enough

FROM THE JEWISH NATIONAL
FUND.

The way the friends Of the Jewish
National Fund in all countries plan
ever new ways of increasing its in
come, furnishes proof of the growing
popularity of that institution. By or
ganizing Flower Days, Palestine
Weeks, ETC., they are endeavoring to
assure the requirements of the Ma
tional Fund out of small contribu-
tons. If the Jewish National Fund
especially after the great successes Of
zionism, may count upon the other
wise so generous hands Of wealthy
Jews being gradually opened for it,
yet the willingness Of the Jewish
masses to impose sacrifices upon
themselves remains the most import
ant basis Of its existence. On num-
Der of successful arrangements held
recently may be reported:
In the month Of May Chag- Hashi-
bolet (Flower Festival) was held In
Jerusalem, which took the form Of an
imposing national demonstration Of
Jerusalem Jews. The schools were
closed on this day and the scholars
helped to collect for the Jewish Ma
tional Fund. In all streets Of the old
and en- wtown, flowers were sold for
the benefit Of the Jewish National
Fund. Members of the Jewish Legion
maintained order in the streets and
at the meetings. In Jaffa, too, and in
the other towns of Palestine, flower
days are soon to be arranged on be-
half Of the Jewish National Fund.
The Palestine Week in Germany,
the final result Of which (about 2OO,-
600 marks) now lies before US, has al
ready been reported upon. Likewise
upon the Flower Day in America, that
yielded the Jewish National Fund the
magnificent sum Of $4,000.

gentina in the month Of June, Frs.

NATIONAL FEDERATION
/ of TEMPLE SISTERHOODS

Succoth Coming-Sisterhoods to Meet.
Many Sisterhoods will this year,
as formerly, aid in congregational eel
ebrations on the Succoth festival. OBJ
servance of the Feast of Tabernacles
has been for the most part of ma
ture from which the greatest enjoy
ment and benefit is derived. Practi-
cally every temple erects Succah,
either in the outdoors, when climatic
conditions permit, or on the altar.
Sisterhoods very often decorate the
Succoth, sometimes themselves going
into the country to obtain verdure for
this purpose. Some congregations per-
nit the children of the Religious
School to adorn the Succah, and later
to distribute the fruit used as decora-
tions, among charitable institutions.
In the endeavor to add interest to
the Succoth celebrations, many rab.
bis bark back to the agricultural sig
nifcance of the holidays. Many Of the
Religious Schools, in that case, OBJ
serve the occasion by entertainments
consisting of harvest celebrations.
Exhibit of Ceremonials.
The Sisterhood of B'nai Birth,
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, has proven to itself
the value of exhibits on ceremonial OBJ
jects, as means of stimulating in
to be put to use soon.

YEARS WORK OF LARGEST
COUNCIL SECTION.

en-, giving in detail an account of the
years work, has just been issued.
This is the largest section of the 112
which comprise the national organiza-
ton. 1t is also the most important in
it's many activities, located as it is in
the largest city in the union. Its mem.
bership is now $500. 1t has twenty &C.
tive working committees. A careful
reading of the Year Book discloses an
enviable record Of achievement. Under
the inspiration of an exceptional pres
ident, who is ably assisted by a will.
ing and enthusiastic set of officers and
directors, the work was carried on ef-
ficiently and most satisfactorily, as
the records show. The chairmen on
religion, philanthropy, membership,
Americanization, legislation, war SER
vice, education, Blackwells Island, and
all other committees did unusual work.
The president, Mrs. William D.
Sporborg, in her mastery message,
delivered at the annual meeting, says
in part:
"The Sections Committee, in con-
ference with the New York Board Of
Jewish Ministers, who for some years
have vainly attempted to improve
chaplaincy conditions, has formed a
joint committee composed Of represen-
tatives of the agencies directly inter,
ested in chaplaincy work, namely: the
New York Board Of Jewish Ministers,
the Eastern Committee Of Reform
Rabbis, the Jewish Protectory, the
Union Of Orthodox Rabbis, the United
Synagogue of America, the Union Of
Orthodox Congregations, and the New
York Section of the Jouncil Of Jewish
Women. At preliminary meeting Of
representatives from these organiza-
tions, over which your president pre-
sided, definite plans were prepared
for instituting a dignifed and ade.
quate Jewish chaplaincy in public in.
stitutions in and pertaining to Great
er New York. This joint committee has
prepared program which it proposed
to launch in the fall, which plans to
standardize, coordinate, supervise
and direct a chaplaincy worthy Of the
Jews Of New York. If this program
is adopted by the community, no long
err may it be said that the Jews Of
New York, the greatest Jewish city
in the world, and known the world
over for its great material philanthro-
ply, are leaving unanswered the cry
Of their less fortunate brethren for
proper spiritual and religious admin
istrations.
"The Immigrant Aid and American
ization Committee, under current con.
ditions our most vital factors, has
met the many additional demands
made upon it with marked ability. In
In its preventive work, in making
more than 1000 visits to homes Of
immigrant girls and women, it has
proffered housing, medical care and
employment facilities. In its educa-
tional work it has placed hundreds Of
girls in English classes, has planned
groups for the mothers not only at our
headquarters, but also in their own
homes. In its recreational work it has
entered hundreds Of women and girls
into clubs where they might find self.
expression, and provided numerous
entertainments, lectures, outings and
patriotic celebrations. In its cooper

of not allowing them to slip away
from Jewish ideals, always strength.
ened by the conviction that a good
Jew, properly guided, will become
good American. History proves that
again and again the Jew has suffered
martyrdom, that time after time has
he sacrificed worldly goods and life
itself, for the new conviction Of an
ideal, and the man with such blood in
his veins, if properly guided, will not
only appreciate ideals Of true Ameri-
canism, but will live up to them with
the same faith, zest and fervor. Let
us each and every one become an as
sociate member of our Committee on
Americanization, and by unmistakable
example Of good American thoughts
and by united support Of good Ameri-
can government, lead the way in which
our oftimes bewildered foreign BROTH
er and sister may safely follow.
Satisfied that our normal obliga-
tions have been fulfilled to the best Of
our ability, we now look back to as
certain how we have met the special
calls to the extraordinary conditions
OF the past winter. During the height
Of the influenza epidemic we turned
over part Of our headquarters as an
emergency relief station. Luncheons
were served for more than 40 children
a day, sent to US through public
schools because of illness at home.
One of our staff workers who has
been a trained nurse was turned over
by US to the district health center to
direct all forces in that district. Food
delicacies were contributed by our
members and sent daily to the stricken
people. At the request of the Jewish
Welfare Board ten gallons Of kosher
soup were daily prepared under the
direct supervision Of our chairman on
religion, and often by herself. When
the demand became still greater, the
Young Women's Hebrew Association
during the acute period sent ten ad.
ditional gallons to US daily for distri.
button in our neighborhood. Seven
of our members went into daily ser.
vice as nurses and nurses aides.
"As a result of an appeal made to
the Section to help care for children
rendered homeless and destitute be-
cause Of the death Of one or both par
ents during the epidemic, committee
was appointed to survey the situation.
This investigation resulted in the for
nation Of Cooperative Committee
comprised Of the representatives Of
the Child Adoption Committee Of the
Free Synagogue, the Home for He
brew Infants and the New York Sec
ton Of the Council Of Jewish Wom-
en-. The chairman Of the Council Com

her conscientious leadership the En-
