Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-01-28

OF the many organizations form
ed in the city with worthy obiec-
tives and high ideals not the least
interesting among them are some
of the groups and organizations
formed among the Hebrew girls OF
the city. It Is a fact worthy of note
and well knswn that when Perth
Ambey girls start out to accomplish
something, individually or collec-
lively, that something is accom-
plished in a highly c~reditable nan
ner and in a comparatively short
time. Two clubs both formed most
recently which have been promi-
nently brought to light because Of
their remarkable achievements and
which should particularly interest
all people of the city are the Young
Women's Hebrew Association and
the Leaders Training Group. OF
the two the latter Is comparatively
small in membership, but the i'm
portance of its aim and object is so
great that 1t weighs in favorable
contrast with the former organiza-
lions.
On the fifteenth of next month
the Young Women's Hebrew Asso-
citation. an organization similar and
yet very dissimilar to the Young
Women's Christian Association, will
| celebrate their ninth anniversary in
this city. With social. religious and
educational detectives for the Jewish
girls of the city, this organization,
meeting at least twice every month,
has made strides in all these lines
through the constant association
with each other and through the
excellent programs which are pre-
pared for each meeting. One OF
the likable features of the organ
ization is its informal and cordial
way of receiving new members. Any
Jewish girl over eighteen years OF
age may come to the meeting with
one OF the members. pay her initia-
ton fee and she is at once an active
member Socially the girls have
made rapid progress. holding many
successful occasions both dances
and entertainments. The latter have
included minstrel shows and plays
in which they haze shown much
talent and even now the girls are
future meetings.
In religious lines the Sunday
school held every week at the Y. NJ,
II. A. is the main activity. The girls
take charge of the various Sunday
school classes and since its very be-
ginning this department has been
an assured success. On every Jew
ish holiday the girls prepare a reli-
gious play suitable for the holiday
and present it at the Y. NJ. II. A
This is not only a religious feature
but educational as well both for the
girls who take part and the many
people who witness it as the audi.
ence Excellent speakers secured
for both the Y. NJ. H. A. and the Y
W. H. A. have also played a very
prominent part in educating this
members not only in their own ma,
broader American customs ant
ideals.
One of the activities heretofor,
unemphasized. that Of athletics, viii
begin in full force for the first tim,
next week. when the girls will begii
to attend regular weekly gym class
es under the direction Of a capable
physical instructor and the girls ar
expected to be very enthusiastic IL
this new enterprise of~the organize
ton.
Their ninth anniversary will b
celebrated in February and an elab
crate celebration is being arrange
under the direction Of the presen
capable president under whose
ership the $50 members have ac
complished such splendid achieve
ments during the past club year..
The Young Leaders Ttraiins
Group. a group of ten young He
brew women training themselves fol
leadership in Young Judaea
Work." an organization very recent
ly organized. but with a highly
promising future. has many inter
esting and creditable features. Dur,
ing the last five years a steady de-
cline in the interest and ~activitie:
of the Young Judaea work in thi.
city has taken place and with tbs
feeling that a rally must be made
in these activities the aforemention-
ed group was formed Young Ju'
daea work is the work of educating
the Jewish youth to Zionism and
Jewish culture and to become G
leader in this work means concen'
trated study in Zionism and Jewish
history. Now it is not a simple
thing to study either of these sub
jects, the history of their ancestor;
