FEW OF US THINK OF GIVING AS MUCH AS THE GENEROUS GIVER; WE ONLY WANT TO GIVE AS LITTLE AS Dr. Weizmann also stated that the first steps in the organization of such an institution had been taken at a dinner given at Sherry's in New York at which Miss Friedman was hostess to thirty Jewish leaders who listened to addresses on the rebuilding of Palestine delivered by Oscar Straus, who was the Toastmaster, Louis Marshall, and Dr. Weizmann himself. A meeting on the same subject is to take place in New York at Mr.

There are men in Milwaukee who give MORE THAN THEIR NEIGHBORS when their neighbors, give LESS. We reprint in this column a letter sent to Nat Stone, President of the Federated Jewish Charities on the occasion of a meeting held in January to attempt to raise from a few individuals sufficient over-subscriptions to make a larger drive unnecessary. The results of that meeting were not particularly encouraging.

One of the men there was disappointed, but not discouraged. Instead of throwing up his hands and crying "I quit," he wrote the following letter: Milwaukee, January 19, 1923. Mr. Nat Stone, Pres. Federated Jewish Charities, Dear Mr.

Samuel Hirshberg said that Temple Emanu-El of Milwaukee was especially proud to welcome Dr. Krass because it was in the Religious School of the local temple that he received his first religious training, and that it was by a pleasing coincidence 'that he should become the spiritual head of the famous New York Temple bearing the same name as Emanu-El of Milwaukee.

At the close of the services Dr. Krass held an informal reception, greeting his many friends of his Milwaukee days. Dr. Krass holds the honor of being the first non-resident Rabbi to speak in the new edifice of Congregation Emanu-El. The meeting was an excellent test of the capacity of the assembly hall of the community building.

Intended to seat only 600 people, it was estimated that over 800 people were comfortably accommodated. The accoustics proved to be ideal, the voice of Rabbi Krass reaching as distinctly to the end of the hall as to the first rows. The wonderful "turnout" of the Jews of Milwaukee last 'Friday evening is an indication of increased interest in things Jewish in this city. It is a pleasing augury of a better Jewish community in the future. His time on the bench earned him a reputation as a jurist to whom justice was more important than the shall Street.

Dr. Weizmann dwelt particularly on the splendid co-operation he had received from all quarters and mentioned especially the names of Louis Marshall, Samuel Untermeyer, Oscar Straus, and Harry L.

It isn't how much we make or have that counts with our fellowmen; it is how much of what we have, Ave GIVE. Col. Lit wanted Philadelphia Jewry to raise its quota of $1,225,000. for the Jewish Charities of that city. There was some doubt in the minds of some of the leaders that so large a sum would not be subscribed.

Did Samuel Lit say "Well if they wont give, I wont give either?" No. Samuel Lit is made of sterner stuff. Said he, "Philadelphia Jewry WILL raise $1,225,000., because I will underwrite the entire amount." This was in addition to his own very generous initial subscription. Philadelphia DID RAISE that much money. It raised much more.

-Without ing on Samuel Lit to make good his promise, the Jews of Philadelphia spurred on by the bigness of this big man, raised exactly $1,516,159, or $291,159. MORE than they were asked to raise. Then CoL Lit said "That's fine. Now that shows just what the J.ews of this. town are.
