The merger of th e Jewi sh Welfare Board and the Na tion a l o of C uncil Y . M . H . and Kindred Organizations agreed upon by the two bodies at their conventions h el d on October 24 h 1 920 ff t 1 92 1 . , , became e ective on July l st, In the interim there was n o interruption in the activities of either organiza o tion , for the Executive Direct r of the B oard was placed in s 1 92 1 admini trative charge of the Council on February l st , . o in anticipati n of the consummation of the merger . The books of accounts of b oth organizations were audited

s 30th 1 92 1 . and clo ed as of June , The personnel of the Na tion a l Council consisting of three field secretaries , one of o whom was app inted a short time before the amalgamation , of o an fice secretary and a sten grapher, entered the service of n e w the organization . 1 92 1 $ On July l st , , th ere were listed on the records of the

Council 370 c onstituent societies . They represented a wide of o o range devel pment , s me with adequate facilities carrying on a rich and attractive program of activities un der trained few a ttri direction , while others coul d lay claim to but of th e butes of a Jewish center an d were in fact not more than social clubs , or were struggling along without a regular meeting o - place or sustained pr gram . Seventy three of the Young Womens H ebrew A s s ociati ons were meeting in the same A s . . . quarters as the Y . M . H . and six Y M H A . s met in other S - o Jewish centers . eventy eight rganizations owned buildings , though some of the buildings were unsuited for Jewish center

- - purpo ses . There were in all but forty seven full time exe

c utiv e s. These organizations had grown in large numbers during recent years . It had required no outside stimulus to bring o them into being. Young pe ple everywhere formed Jewish A o ...... s s cial organizations and called them Y M H A s , Y W H e a $ and the lik but frequently the name indicated only an ide ,

1 5 n o a n d th e not a reality. In fur ishing supp rt , material moral , n ot e t th e communities could not, or at least did keep pac wi h insistent demand during the past decade for the development

' of such o rganizati ons and their rapid growth in n umb ers a n d as a result many of them are still in th e elementary sta ges of of e a development . Yet the membership even thes organiz i tions included serious , earnest young p eopl e actuated by h gh and sincere m otives for self devel opment and service to th e o community . Th ugh unequipped with the means for doing a o wide c mmunal service , these societies were well regarded, and in many communities represented the only social effort - o for the all round development of Jewish y uth . In the light of this situation it became evident that the eff orts of the B oard should not be directed at the present time toward expansion in number of organizati ons but rather t oward building up the existing organizati ons int o effective in stru of mentalities for the service the community . This is a task of of o the first magnitude , requiring many years dev ted , sus

t a in ed f o . and well planned e f rt N evertheless , real progress can already be noted , partly th e direct result of the work of o o the B ard during the past sixteen m nths , and partly because of th e impetus that the movement gained during this period . Ten buildings have been added by purchase to the 75 exi sting h of a t t e . time the merger , among them the West S ide Y . M

A . H . A . and Y . W . H . , New York City ; Port Chester , N . Y .

In additi on seven communit ies have building funds aggregating approximately which will b e utilized in the near o s o o future in the c n tructi n of new buildings and additi ns .

The problems of th e constituent soci e ties aris e chiefly f r a ure from lack o lay leadership , resulting in a ve y limited me s of community-wide interest and supp ort ; th e absen ce of on o a e trained , professi al directi n ; inadequacy and in some c s s a total lack of physical facilities ; and limitati ons of p ur a pose and program . From the outset it was quite clear th t eff ective service to c onstituent societies facing such probl e ms a im th e could be given only by intensive field work . The of o so e of field w rk was the completion , in far as was possibl , e each definite task which the B oard undertook . Field secr of aries did not attempt frequent visits short duration , but extended their stay in each l ocation over a period sufficient to o o h t h n enable them to do th r ughly any work whic ey bega . o s Five additi nal field ecretaries were appointed who , together f a with the three who were on the sta f of the Council , made 1 922 i . . S ta v tsk re total of eight O n July l st , , M r Michael y f signed, so that the present field sta f consists of seven . Of s to N e w these , three are a signed definite districts , one to to P England, another ennsylvania, and the third to New Jer o sey . These districts c rrespond to the geographical limits of o particular Federations , and the secretaries work in the cl sest

- co operati on with the Federations . The B oard has in addi tion one field secretary assigned to campaigns and to important o field problems , an assistant wh se duties are similar, a field r wh o s secreta y specialize in tudies of Jewish communities , ’ n o and o e field secretary for w men s work . Though specifically f there are seven members of the field sta f, the field problems have been of so varied a character and of s uch urgency that a l l of o of s f the members of the nati nal fice ta f , including the Exe c utiv e o o t t o Direct r, have been engaged fr m ime time in field work .

Fi e ld P rogra m

o Having been initiat ed by young pe ple , many of the con ’ stitu e n t organizati ons remained young people s societies with out o re re attracting the support and directi n of the older, p se n ta tiv e men of the community . The successful prosecution of the Jewish center movement depends in very large measure on its ability to attract these lay leaders a n d secure th e ir

1 8 a ctual participation in the aff airs of the local s ociety . B ut eve n the loyal participati on of the representative l eaders in th e community is not in itself en ough to guarantee complete suc cess . Organizations , started with an abundance of enthusiasm , soon lost the effectiveness of which they gave promise because there was no sustained , specialized direction such as coul d be given only by a trained worker .

Adhering closely to the plan of performing whereve r ff n e r h e possibl e a complete piece of work, the field sta has v e t less been abl e to visit 1 1 9 communities . Th e large st emphasis was given to the introduction and devel opment of suitabl e s activitie . Paid workers an d volunteer leaders were assisted

$ in formulating programs . Methods of organizati on and man a e m en t g of activities were outlined , and committees appointed out to carry them . S ocieties were enc ouraged to utilize to the fullest degree the materials issued by th e National O ffice and the services of its Lecture B ureau . No attempt was made on re c omm n to impose a set program , but th e contrary , the e dations were based in each case on the peculiar l ocal n eeds and c onditions . In almost every community visited by field fi secretaries and members of th e of ce staff , constructive work in broadening the program of constituent societies has been accomplished .

of Y The Y . M . H . A . Corona , N . , under volunteer super to vision , may be pointed as an illustration of th e v a l u e of such service . Shortly after th e date of the merger, th e attention o of the B ard was directed to the situation in this community .

B ecause of many circumstances , chiefly the lack of a well rounded program , this organization had lost influence and prestige , and had come to be regarded as a social club . Older members of the Association , however , sought to develop use of ful activities , and with the aid the B oard a program of cele b ra tion s of of important Jewish and civic holidays , public lec ures and of motion picture exhibitions and literary evenings for was outlined and carried out the entire year . A publica tion was issued monthly . The organization assumed leader in ship the war relief campaign , and the attitude of the c om munity became so favorabl e that better quarters were made available in the H ebrew Institute and the nucleus of a building

1 9 ob fund was voluntarily provided . Within the year it has 1 5 ta in e d commun i ty rec ognition and support . This correctly attributed by th e members to the fact that they engaged i n a

o . useful , attractive pr gram

It h a s been a gratify ing evidence of the seri ou s- mindedness of th e c onstituent organizati ons that they have everywhere eagerly accepted suggesti ons for enlargement and modification of their programs and at the recent c onventi on s of the S tate o Federati ns , which are described in more detail in another s o of ection of the rep rt , the matter enlarging the activities of o o s o l o cal societie s received maj r c n iderati n .

The entire personnel of the Board and m ore particularly its fiel d staff wa s se t to the task of assisting c on stituent organ iz a tion s to achieve th e fulle st measure of development . It became the work of th e B oard day in and day out to seek out in each c ommunity the leaders in Jewi sh life and to bring h o me t o them the s ignificance of the Jewi sh center ; to enlist their supp ort and active directi o n a s members of B oards of Director s ; t o s ecure their aid in the soluti on of pre ssing l ocal problem s with re spect t o the center and their initiative in acquiring for the s e l ocal s ocieties the facilities which would make p ossible an adequate program of Jewish center activitie s .

20 The imp ortance of such leadership must continually s of be emphasized , yet the ta k the Jewish center is so c omplex an d its program is so broad that even with such - dire c lay leadership , full time , adequately trained professional ti on has become an indispensable c onditi on of its full develop ment . The Board therefore has urged th e constituent socie o ties to man their organizations with pr fessional secretaries , and has organized and conducted two training course s to help of make available such men . A fuller description the work of the B oard in the field of training p rofe ssi onal w orkers will f be given in anoth er secti on o this report .

C a mp a igns Adequate buildings to house their activities is of course P a pressing need of many of the c onstituent s ocieties . arti c ul a rl o y during the peri d immediately following the merger, much of the effort of th e fiel d staff was directed to assisting ix c ommunities to secure such buildings .

The re ult electrified th e c ountry and gave an impetus to the entire movement . f o Ably led by the officer s o the Y . M . H . A . and c nforming closely to the plan and directi on of the field s ecretary of the Bb a rd , the campaign committee in less than a week secured s s P the large t sum ever rai ed in hiladelphia for a Jewish cause . o s s M re significant , perhap , than the re ult in terms of actual m oney was the spirit manife sted and the c o mmunity- wide

s . s support that the enterpri e received Every hade of opinion , every group in the Jews that lived in Philadelphia was o s represented among the th u ands that subscribed .

Comm unit y S tu die s The community c onsciousness and conscience were aroused to the situati on by the results of a study made by the Jewi sh Welfare B oard in Philadelphia that clearly revealed the inadequacy of facilities offered by the Jews of the city for the o o education , recreati n and social life of the Jewish y uth . This study marked th e beginning of a new policy of the B oard in dealing with the imp ortant tasks involved in the establishment

. T oo o too f of the Jewish center much m ney , much e fort , too s erious future consequences are involved in so impor tant a matt er as th e conduct of a campaign or the merging of e stablished , influential organizations , to j ustify any action with out th orough kn owledge of all the factor s that enter into

o y . s th e life of a c mmunit These facts mu t be gathered , inter re te d or - o re c om m en da p without bias pre j udgment , and pr per ti on s for c ommunal acti on offered . The studies are made by trained investigat or s and c over s uch matter s a s th e Jewish o of o o populati n the c mmunity and its elements , distributi n of o s o and tendencies migrati n ; Jewi h s cial , educational , and religiou s agencies ; the extent to which they serve the needs of the co mmunity ; the facilitie s they offer ; t h e size of their o n on - s c nstituencies ; public and ectarian private agencies , and the extent to which Jew s t ake part in their activities ; n on Jewi sh organizati on s and th os e with definite anti - Jewish pur p ose and the influence which they exert upon the Jewish o o t o gr up , particularly the Jewish y uth ; the extent which there is duplicati on of effort and weakne ss in communal organiza ti on ; an d the adequacy of existing facilities for whole some s o for o D efi Jewi h devel pment and the need additi nal facilities . nite recommendation s are made with regard t o the need for a campaign to secure necessary facilitie s ; the l ocation of the u of oo e u b ilding, the number and kind r ms and equipment ; rol l m e n t and classificati on of membership ; the formulation of a budget ; th e sc ope of the program ; and frequen tly suggesti ons — are made in regard to a community w ide program to bring the Jewi sh center in proper relati onship to all o ther Jewish s ocial o and recreati onal organizati ons in the c mmunity .

Y . o In S yracuse , N . , the investigati n revealed inadequacy o o of Jewi sh center facilities , an d m re important still , a situati n involving such duplicati on of effort and o rganizati on that united c ommunal action was impeded . It was recognized and recommended that before consideration could be given to a

23 campaign for a new building certain definite steps should be taken to effect an amalgam ation of the Jewish s ocial agencies C o meeting in the Jewish ommunal H me , and a plan of mem b e rsh ip adopted with an enlarged program of activities to the end that community - wide sc ope and influence might be a t i ta n e d by the reorganized body .

o o The absence of pr vision for the s cial , recreational and educational needs of a large number of Jewish boys and girls

. . re commen was demonstrated by a study in Newark , N J , and dations and a plan for the conduct of a suitable program in volving th e utilization of existing facilities were presented . o o Up n the recommendation of the B ard , an executive secre o tary wa s engaged to carry out the pr gram . In anticipation

o . . of the erecti n of the new building of the Y . M an d Y . W . H for A . in Newark a detailed budget was prepared the guidance of o c om of the B oard Directors , based up n knowledge of the s munity, the estimated number of prospective member , the activities that should b e undertaken , the cost of maintenance and other factors which will enter into the administrati on of the new building .

o The study made in H artford, C nn showed the need for a new building to h ouse th e activities of the Jewish social or a n iza tion s o u n g , but on the other hand showed also the t tal preparedness of the community for a campaign for funds su ffi r o cient fo the purpose . A plan was utlined for the inaugura tion of activities which should ultimately demonstrate the value of such work to the community sufficiently to command o for its supp rt a building campaign .

A somewhat similar situation developed as a result of an ’

R o . . investigation in chester, N Y The Jewish Young Men s Association within the field that it had set for itself was a c s s compli hing excellent result , but it had not attempted a com - wa s munity wide program , the need for which demonstrated

by the study made by the B oard . Recommendati ons designed to make this organization an effective Jewish center for the f community were o fered and promptly acted upon . of wa s The Y . M . H . A . Cincinnati about to complete the purchase of a building when a representative of the B oard

visited that community . A cursory examination indicated that

Clearly , it would have been wasteful , even if it had been at all s pos ible of accomplishment , if each independently had under to taken secure adequate quarters . Instead , all three were merged into one organization which now occupies the building

' and h a s e n g a g e d an executive secretary wh o has instituted a - o o community wide pr gram . Similar re rganizations have been f - e fected or are in process in twenty two communities . Out of most of the se attempts the more complete type of Jewish center organization is being evolved ; in other cases only the o to initial steps c uld be taken up the present time .

R e view of B uilding P l a ns After th e funds have been procured for new buildings the Board has been called up on to render a service new to the I t s field of Jewish center work . aid has been enlisted in the of planning of Jewish center buildings . The basis this assist ance lies in the need for a thorough understanding of the service which the new building is to render and the extent, type and locati on of the facilities that sh ould b e provided for o o that purp se . The B ard works with the building committee , — but d oes not take the place of an architect its service is o o o supplementary , based up n its kn wledge gained fr m gen s of o o eral experience and special tudy local c nditi ns . There is little or no available informati on on Jewish center is of o buildings . It therefore the utm st importance that care ful review be given to plans for buildings involving large ex o h e r pense and designed t o m eet a great variety of purp ses . W s s n of of ever nece sary, the as ista ce an architect specialized experience h a s been s ecured to review the recommendati ons f S s o o o the B oard . uch ervice has been rendered in c nnecti n of P with the new building the associations in hiladelphia , P o erth Amb y , New B runswick, New Haven , and particularly

f . s o . o in the ca e Newark , N J , where the plans were c mpletely ’ of o changed as a result the B oard s rec mmendations .

Confe re n c es of Fie ld S ec re ta ri es

o o s As the work of the B ard pr gressed , the basic similaritie in c ommunal situati ons in diff erent parts of the country b e o came apparent , and knowledge gained fr m experience in solv ing their probl ems and the details of meth ods that had been successfully employed by th e B oard were c ommunicated to all — o s of the field secretaries . All day c nference the field secre s tarie were called on March twelfth , May nineteenth , and s 1 922 o Augu t thirtieth , , and they als participated in special c onferences of Jewi sh center secretaries held Augu st twenty fir t - o 1 92 1 t o st and wenty sec nd , , and June nineteenth twenty r 1 22 t o fist 9 . , At hese meetings the plans and pr gram of the o B oard as currently devel ped were explained . The outstanding s ituati ons in each Federation were presented by the secretaries f and di scu ss ed by the sta f . Itineraries were planned on the s s o o so ba i of local c nditi ns , that emergency situations could r rn f be given p e fe c e . The programs o Federati on conventi ons ‘ were dealt with in detail so as to in sure c on structive devel op ment of the s e agencie s .

S tat e Federa tions At the time of the m erger there were in existence federa ti ons of c on stituent organizations in Penn sylvania and Dela S o ware , New Jersey, the Middle Atlantic tates , New Y rk and s New England . While the e Federations , except in New Eng o land , apparently had limited influence and their functi ns were e t o o not clearly defined , y their annual c nventi ns were att ended l s s by large numbers of de egat es , and were succes ful in arou ing great enthusiasm and in prom oting fine spirit and genuine s o o interest . They posses ed with ut d ubt the p otentialities for for exerting great influence , they were created voluntarily by s their con tituent societies and truly represented them . The o o B ard naturally determined to help these Federations . C operation centering chiefly in the special services of the field h n o secretary was established . T ere is w a field secretary ex y clusively assigned to Penns lvania and Delaware , another to

27 New Jersey and a third to New Englan d, and in each case there are definite and cordial official relati ons with the officers of of the Federations these districts . As rapidly as suitable men can b e secured for this specialized work , assignments to o ther Federation territories will be made . In the meantime the fiel d secretaries at large are employed for field problems o s o o in ther di tricts . Many l cal situati ns have also been dealt with by c orresp ondence and visits of members of the national of f fice sta f .

Annual conventi ons of the Federations hel d S eptember fourth and fifth 1 92 1 were attended by representatives of the o for B oard who presented its pr gram and plans the year . In anticipati on of the recent c onventi on s hel d S eptember first to o 1 922 - f urth , , a plan for inter association activities was pre t pared and was presented to the delega es . It wa s felt that the o o o Federati ns could pr mote desirable activities , b th physical t an d intellectual , in their constituen societies , an d at the same time strengthen the relati onship b etween these s ocieties by - ss o sp ons oring a program of inter a ociati n c onte st s . As an aid s in perfecting th e necessary arrangement , districts comprising neighb oring associations were o rganized within the Federa ti on . The m ost significant event in the proceedings of the con v e n tion in New Englan d was the amalgamation of the Asso

i d ...... c a te Y . M H A s and Y W H A s of N ew England . In S o the New York tate Federati n , the delegates ad opted a of - o district plan of organization , a program inter ass ciati on activity and decided upon the publication of a Federation

. Pl a in fiel d quarterly At the recent convention in , the pre s ence as delegates of a number of leading Jewish citizen s of o o New Jersey and the unanim us election f Mr . Felix

Fuld as President of the Federation , were the outstanding

- . too o features H ere , , a pr gram of inter ass ociation activities s was adopted , and a di trict plan for carrying out the program approved . The conventions of the Federati ons of Pe n n syl vania and of the M iddle Atlantic S tates were also character iz e d by the same purp ose to arrange for activities am ong their f i o o a fil ated rganizati ns .

28 Le ct ure B ure a u In these recent eff orts of the Federati ons there has been evident a recogniti on of th e need for giving more c ontent an d of scope to the program individual organizations . With a full o realization of this need , the B ard established a Department of Jewish Center Activities which includes als o a Lecture and o C ncert B ureau , to give specialized assistance to local organi z a tion s m in the develop ent of their programs . The Lecture B ureau has arranged a total of 1 72 lectures 1 2 o 5 . 47 and concerts . inv lved no payment of fees required

. o o 64 o fees , but they were nominal It is w rthy of n te that s f cie tie s availed th emselves o this service . The lecturers and concert artists are men and women th oroughly experienced and in many cases professionally engaged in lecturing or in the

musical field . The s ubj ects of th e l ectures are for the most part of a

Jewi sh character , and are all of distinct educational value .

There are lectures on citizenship , on health an d on general o cultural themes . The concert pr grams have been devoted

almost entirely to Jewish music . Wherever possible the lec

tures are planned in series . They are usually open to th e e n

tire community . Tours are arranged to permit visits to several

communities , which otherwise might b e unabl e to meet the

expense of lectures and concerts . Arrangements are als o made for the s ervices of speakers whose homes are in the

vicinity of societies , thus eliminating any considerable ex

pense for travel . In addition this Bureau assists constituent organizations to secure stere optic on slides and moti on pic

tures largely of Jewish character .

B ulletins

wo - o The t f ld aspect of the Jewish Center program , on on o o the one hand its emphasis Jewish c ntent , and on the ther its emphasis in prom oting intelligent understanding of Ameri in can ideals , is reflected the Bulletins that have been prepared for constituent societies in connection with the obse rvance of

Jewish and civic holidays . Such bull etins have been issued ’ ’ r of s fo the observance Lincoln s Birthday , Wa hington s B irth P ’ day , Purim , assover, Mothers Day, M emorial Day, She

29 v u oth , Independence Day, Constitution Day, Succoth , Armis i a e s tice Day, and Chanukah . In each case th e pract cal sp ct th e e th e ma of program of cel ebration are born in mind, and r n te ia l is carefully selected and suitably described . The bulleti is designed not only for mass celebrati ons ; a section is devoted in each to programs for clubs . The bulletins are supplemented by assistance to societies in arranging programs and in sec ur in n g the poetry and prose selections , music , slides , motio of a of pictures , descriptions games an d dances and variety th e other material , much of which is furnished without cost by o B ard . Constituent s ocieties have l ooked forward to th e re c e ipt of the bulletins because they have found in them th e ready means of providing programs that were truly significant offi of the festivals and holiday s . The ce has received direct reports of 274 mass celebration s and many more have com e to in dire c l its notice t v . A bulletin was 1 ssu ed embodying a complete program of special summer work . Its need is made clear by the mere statement that most recreational societies lapse into idleness o during the warm seas n . S imilar publications dealing with other department s of n e activity will be prepared and issued from time to time . O th e on Jewish Women in Jewish Life is now in preparation ,

B oard stressing the activities for women as well a s for men .

P rogra m A ssista nce The staff at the central office is constantly cal le d upon to

render other services to constituent societies , and in many cases the development of activities of local associations is ini tia te d through c orrespondence and visits by m e mbers of th e f e un office sta f . S ince the limited number of field secr taries der the established p olicy of intensive work cannot p ersonally o o visit all c mmunities , the B ard maintains contact by corres p on d e n c e with c onstituent societies n ot visited by its rep re se n iv e t th e t a t s . Aside from the assistance given to socie ies in o h a s fu r manner already described , detailed informati n been n i h e d bibl io ra s for the conduct of summer camps , selected g s phie for standard Jewish libraries have been compiled , com p l ete data on bazaars and carnival s an d the special advice of an expert have been made available ; information has been fur

30 n ish e d on s o citizenship activitie , pr gram , membership prob s o lems , games , material for a sociation publicati ns , religious s - so o activitie , inter as ciati n activities , Jewish music , exhibits o f s for Jewish art , ubj ects debate , proper methods of publicity and almo st every other possible subj ect which is related to association work . Executives and officers of constituent societies have a t tended c onventi ons of Federati ons and th e ’ J ewish Center Sec re t a rie s o Conference in Providence . Others have fro m time t time visited the national office . These occasions have afforded opportunity for conference with members of the staff on organ iza tion problems and activities .

In performing these Specialized services , the Board has y gathered a considerabl e bod of material in the form of books , pamphlets , magazine and newspaper articles , and special rep orts . It is hoped that this material will develop into a real library of Jewi sh center wo rk .

Quart erly P ublication Much of the data on Jewish c ommunal activities gathered by s ocial workers and a wealth of experience remains undis ' clo s ed because the m eans and stimul us for rec ording it were lacking . There is practically no current literature in this fiel d. The B oard expects through the medium of its quarterly publi Th e J ewish Cen te r to s to cation , , meet in part thi need and enc ourage the presentation of experiences in written form t o v ol un those engaged in the work , either professionally or as

s . teer The first number, devoted to the proceedings and Co of S papers read at th e nference Jewish Center ecretaries , has o but recently appeared , and cl se to copies have been o o in distributed . It is h ped that in its pages will be f und spi rati on and instructi on for those who give of their time and to o o energy the work , an d inf rmati n of the progress and a chievement s of the movement to all wh o se e in Jewish center work an agency for the development of a better and richer life for the Jews of America .

R a a n d P a ecruiting, Tr ining l cing Workers Undoubtedly one of the most significant accomplishments t of the B oard has been the recruiting, raining and placing of

31 s f r executives for Jewish center . The need o trained men was o th e apparent at the outset , and plans were made even bef re merger was complete for the conduct of an emergency cours e which extended over the period from July eleventh to August - 1 2 1 9 . twenty ninth , Only as many regular students were a d mit e d t as there were vacancies in the field . The utmost care and discrimination was exercised in selecting students . The recruiting was largely c onducted through pers onal interviews and only those wh o already had had experience in Jewish

s wh o so ~ center work or allied field , had und Jewish and gen

eral education , genuine interest , good character and pleasing for personality were considered admission . Th e final selection of students was vested in a Personnel Committee composed of o the President of the B ard , the Executive Director and the o o Direct r of the Training C urse . Twelve regular students and eight special students already engaged professi onally in o of the w rk attended the sessions the training course in 1 92 1 . A similar course was conducted during the recent summer - first to S a t from July thirty eptember nineteenth , which was 1 6 tended by 3 regular students and special students . Of the twenty - eight executives who have secured positions in Jewish

- Centers during th e past sixteen months , twenty three have been rcomm end e d by the B oard . A maj ority of these men are s of o o graduate the training c urses c nducted by the Board . In s o to a few in tances , where p sitions had be filled quickly, the best qualified men and women available at the time were

recommended . e Alth ough the courses were necessarily short , th y provided a substantial training because the students were mature and s r already had experience in Jewi h center o kindred fields . o The curriculum included lectures and field w rk . Th e lectures were given by men and women who were specialists in their respective field s and each department of Jewi sh center work

- was fully treated in a mo st practical manner . The field work was c orrelated with the l ectures so as to give th e students some experience in the actual administrati on of Jewish center th e activities . Apart from the service that is rendered to out o m ovement in seeking and training c mpetent executives , the B oard has given an obj ect -le sson in the general field of Jewish social service through its emphasis on th e importance

32

o 24 c on A similar c nference , attended by executives of stituen t societie s located in the Ea stern S tates and N ew n Wa s o t Engla d hel d on Sunday and M nday, August l and

22 n d 1 92 1 o C . , , in New Y rk ity In addition to the formal s s ss o s o reading of paper and di cu i n , individual c nferences were arranged between members of the national ofli ce staff and th e o of secretaries for the discussi n local problems . A conference of G o executives of societies in reater New York , and an ther o comp sed of B rooklyn workers only, have for several years for ex met regularly the discussion of common problems , change oi experiences and the promotion of inter- association o activities . A similar gr up has been formed in New Jersey, and district conferences of lay an d professional workers a re conducted at stated intervals in Pennsylvania and New a Engl n d .

Cit iz e nship Activit ie s Citizen ship activities form part of the program of c onsti tuent societie s an d receive the encouragement and emphasis is of the Board . The entire program of the Jewish cent er really intended to prom ote good citizenship through character de v el o m en t o . p , intellectual gr wth , and consciously Jewish living R o a s eference is made h ere , h wever , to such activities the o of for c nduct classes in English foreigners , lectures in English s o o ~ and Yiddi h , the celebrati n of civic h lidays and general par ticip a tion of the l ocal s ociety in the civic activities of the com of o o munity . Many th e c nstituent rganizations include such o o f ff w rk in the pr gram , supplementing e fectively the e orts of o on other agencies in the community . Thr ugh the bulletins o s of the b ervance national holidays , circulars describing par ti ul a r of a c phases of citizenship work , and the arranging p ro ria te o p p lectures and m tion picture exhibitions , the B oard of has enc ouraged a wide range patriotic activities .

R epres e nt a t ion of Board in Ot h e r Orga niz a tion s

o o it s th e In c nnecti n with general citizenship program , f o B oard is a filiated with the Nati nal American Council , a body o rganized to prom ote the harmonious c o- ordination of a l l ” activities of educati on for patriotism and good citizenship . The Pre sident of the Board is a member of th e Executive Com m itte e of this organization .

34 The Board is likewise a member of the American Olympic Committee and of the National Amateur Athletic Federation of America . Its Secretary is a member of the Council of I m a n n w migrant Education , organizatio ith which the Board h a s c o- frequently operated . Members of the staff have represented the Board on pro fe ssion a l bodies such as the B oys Work Executives of National Organizations and the B oys Work Council of Greater N ew

York . The Board is also in current contact with a number of oth er Jewish and non - Jewish organizations whose activities are in related fields .

Army a n d N a vy W e lfa re A ctivitie s This rep ort d oes not include any statement of the a ctiv i ties oi the B oard in behalf of the men in the military and naval s ervice and di sabled veterans . This phase of the activity of the B oard is the subj ect of another report to be presented by of the Chairman th e Army and Navy Committee . It is only to t o o necessary indicate here that , true its trust , the B ard has been unceasingly engaged in th e conduct of welfare activities o o for the s ldier, the sail r , th e veteran fighting bravely in the hospital for health and life or seeking heroically to overcome through vocational training the handicaps of inj ury sustained in the war . The disabled soldier is particularly the concern of the workers , paid and volunteer , who are engaged in this

field . The program of the Board in behalf of the men in uni form offers a guarantee of the sustained and permanent in te re st of the Jewish community .

Fin a nc e s A separate statement of the income an d expenditures of th e Board during the s ixteen months of its existence will be r ff . o endered by Mr . Schi In order to do its w rk, it has been compelled to spend considerably more than its income , and it was able to do this because the Executive Committee of the old Jewish Welfare Board set aside from its capital fund a sum ffi su cient to meet the anticipated obligations for this year . In our ou r the future income must equal expen ditures . In 1 923 it is estimated that we shall require approximately to carry on our Army and Navy welfare activities an d to meet the

35 o o o increasing needs of Jewish center w rk , and the inc me fr m inve stments will n ot exceed We must therefore se cure an additi onal income of or fail to meet the urgent n o demands made upon us . The second alternative should t be o a of m r e considered, for we are d ing work vital i po tanc for o o y d o urselves and our c untr , and we must obtain the funds to n ow to it properly. Until we have made no appeal for funds or or ou r con individuals communities , either directly through i ent we st tu societies , for we felt that we should wait until could demonstrate by actual experience the scope of the work o d o e which should b e d ne and our ability to the work . W e e can not much longer delay such appeal , and the tim has com when we can fully j ustify our appeal by convincing proof of th e l a e imp ortance of our work . I am not quite ready to y befor you today a finished plan for securing these funds , but I do wish to emphasize that the Jewish Welfare Board is the na tion a l body whose constituent societies are meeting in this con v en tion ; that a national body can gro w strong only as its r so constituent societies g ow strong , and that the constituent cieties gain strength from the aid given them by the national e to body . It is the function of the Jewish Welfar Board assist e o its constituent societies , but it must acquir the resources t give this assistance l argely through its constituent s ocieties . It is their function and duty to support loyally their own na n N ot in h tio a l body . through accumulated funds secured t e enthusiasm of war fervor nor through occasional contributions from wealthy friends c an th e Jewish Welfare Board acquire o the m ney and influence to carry on its work, but only through the c onstant loyalty and even sacrific e of those for whom a n d

through whom primarily the work is done , the memb ers of its a h constituent societies . It is upon them th t t e Jewish Wel fare B oard must call in order to obtain the resources necessary on of to carry its part their work, and when that call is issued they must l oyally answer it .

Conc lu sion In th e sixteen months since th e merger of the two g reat o r national bodies int the reorganized Jewish Welfare Boa d , there has been substantial achievement . There has been a n in crease in the number of buildings and improvement in facilities

Through membership enrollment campaigns c onducted by the B oard o t o and as a result of the natural gr w h of the m vement , there has been a large increase in the number of members of all a g e s groups in the c onstituent societie .

Important c mmunities have been made acquainted , through studies made by the Board , with th e need for adequate provision for the youth and have responded generously to th e

findings and recommendations of these studies . Th e programs of constituent s ocieties have been enriched through the ma te ria l s furnished by the Board and the assistance of its sta fi.

o On behalf of the Army and Navy C mmittee , I beg leave to submit a report of the activities of this Department of the Jewish Welfare B oard for the period of sixteen months b e l st 1 92 1 ginning with July , , the date on which th e merger of s th e Council of Y . M . H . and Kindred A sociations and th e

o f 3 1 922 . o B ard became e fective to October l st , Faithful t its obligati ons to the uniformed men and pursuant to the condi of tions the merger, th e Army and Navy activities were and o will c ntinue to be the first concern of the B oard . Shortly after o the merger, the C mmittee on Chaplains , which functioned o of during the peri d the emergency, was reorganized into the o Army and Navy C mmittee . Its representative character was retained and its personnel comprises representatives from all national rabbinic and congregational organizati ons . The members of the c ommittee and the organizations are :

Ca l isch Rabbi Edward N . , Central Conference of Ameri R can abbis ,

R S o o o o abbi l m n Foster, Uni n of American H ebrew C o ongregati ns , R R s abbi S amuel Fredman , abbinical A sembly, o o o C R abbi H erbert S . Goldstein , Uni n of Orth d x ongre a tion s g , A u d a th H a - R o S . Rabbi Moses Margolies , g abb nim , S S o R abbi Elia s L . olomon , United ynag gue , and the Chairman , who represents the Jewish Welfare B oard . The Army and Navy welfare program of the B oard is all embracing . It includes work among disabled veterans in gov e rn m en t hospitals, contract institutions and sanitoria ; those seeking admission to such institutions ; those under govern ment care in v ocational training schools ; uniformed men in the - United S tates Army, Navy and Marine Corps , and ex service

men and their families .

chaplains an d commanding officers . of en It is estimated , on th e basis reports received , parti o o of l a rl y in connecti n with the recent bservance Passover, that there are 5000 Jewi sh men in the service and about 1 000 ’ in the care of the United States V eterans B ureau . Compared with the large Jewish personnel during the peri o d of the

5000 n ot . emergency , may appear to be a formidable number But it must be borne in mind that these men are stationed in small groups in hundred s of p osts through out th e United P S tates , aboard war vessels and in the hilippines , H awaii ,

P G . f China , anama and ermany The di ficulties in making ade o quate provision for them are manifest . The c st was of n ec it o o o e ss y pr p rtionately higher , but the B oard has l st no opp ortunity and has utilized every means of expressing the brotherly interest of American Jewry in its fellows in the

Army and Navy , and especially in those still in hospitals .

W ork wit h Disabled V e ter a ns in H o spita l s

The work with disabled veterans requires and receives

greatest emphasis . The aim is primarily to elevate their o o o morale . C ntinu us illness and c nfinement are naturally fol o o l wed by discouragement and depressi n . Representatives and community committees visit the men and bring th em o Bikur cheer and c mfort , fulfilling the rabbinic command of

o . of o Ch lim They take care their compensati n cases , supply o o o of o c mf rt articles , perf rm a variety pers nal services and give emergen cy relief in the form of cl othing or funds for

which there is an immediate and urgent need .

Formal religi ous activity is necessarily limited t o thos e whose physical and mental c onditi on permits them to parti S s or cip a te . ervice are arranged weekly at as frequent inter os o vals a s p sible , either in the synag gues of the adj acent

c ommunities or , when men are unable to leave the hospital , at

ma ties . Even wh e re s e rv ices y be arra nged in c a mp, th e effort is made to bring them to a nearby city where they ca n meet the members of the - Jewish community and j oin in a o o o n rmal stimulating way in the H liday celebrati n . th e 1 92 1 1 922 th e For High H oly Days of both and , Com s of mitte e applied for the is uance orders , which were readily granted by both the War and Navy Departments , allowing fur loughs to Jewish men enabling them to go to their homes for o n ot en the s e ccasions , if the distances were too great, or to o oi for c $ y the hospitality nearby Jewish communities , whi h arrangements were made by the B oard .

of At th e request the B oard , the United States Public S 1 921 V ’ H ealth ervice in , and the United States eterans 1 922 B ureau in , granted similar furloughs to disabled veterans in hospitals wherever their condition permitted their leaving.

e On the recent H igh Holy Days , Observances wer held at 50 different points for over Jewish service men and dis 1 20 o abled veterans , who were stationed at p sts , stations , ships ot o and hospitals . N nly were the men given every opportunity for attendance at services but arrangements for meals and lodgings on both days of Rosh H a sh a n a h and Yom Kippur

Eve and Night were made in practically every instance . Where a men were unabl e to leave their beds in hospitals , represent tiv es and community c ommittees visited them an d brought th e o in spiritual message and comfort of the H ly Days . In some too t o stances , where patients were ill leave the hospital but to k s i able wal about , special ervices were held at the institut on . Observances and hospitality were arranged not only C throughout the country but also at Tientsin , hina, Manila, o - a u- e Hon lulu , Panama , Port Prince and Coblenz . Ther being s no ynagogue or rabbi in the H awaiian Islands , a rabbinical student was sent to Honolulu especially to conduct th e Ser

. n n vices Nor were the army and avy prisons forgotte . I n P o H e ; t N ew rt rtsmouth , New ampshir For Jay, York ; Fo S a n ra Leavenworth , Kansas ; and Alcatraz , near F ncisco , C o alifornia , the B ard arranged for appropriate ob servance of th e days by Jewish inmates . Machzorim were supplied to those men wh o could not go hom e a nd to e very ma n in th e serv ice wa s furn ish e d a qua n

42 ’ tity of N ew Yea r s cards to sen d g reetin gs to his fa mily a n d friends . Copies of the specially prepared Jewish calendar we re likewise distributed .

1 92 1 e Similar arrangements were carried out in , ov r m en participating . As in th e case of the High H oly D a ys a n d in con formity a with the practice in previous years , both the War and N vy Departments granted furloughs to Jewish service men for s Pas over . Similarly , a request by the B oard to the United ’ States V eterans Bureau was also favorably acted upon .

For those men who were unable to be at th eir homes , 43 S eder services were c on d u ctd by the B oard with an attend 1 22 1 578 . ance of men from posts , stations , ships and hospitals These celebrati ons were held throughout the United States and in the outlying possessions . H ome and community hospitality was provided during the first two days of Passover and ar rangements made for attendance at synagogues or for services in camp and hospital . That th e men appreciated the work of the B oard is evidenced by the numerous letters of thanks t e c eiv ed . A soldier at Manila wrote : “ I speak for all who were privileged to enj oy your hospi tality when I say that the days were made precious to us , particularly under the circumstances which we find in this faraway climate . We were reminded forcibly of what ou r religion and our race shoul d mean to us and I am confident that a l l of us were inspired to make renewed efforts to main t ” ain the ancient traditions of our people .

Th e B oard has continued to assist ex- service men and o of - their families in the soluti n many post war probl ems . These matters concern themselves largely with securing a d n a j usted compensation , hospitalization , employment, vocatio l th e h training and , in order to facilitate this work, B oard a s continued to maintain the Personal Service Department at th e ffi of National O ce an d the fice in Washington , which maintains

direct contact with government bureaus . b e As an indication of the extent of this need, it must a matter of interest that new cases have received the a t tention of the Nati onal and Washing t on offices and the field

Ch a pl a ins The question of securing the app ointment of a R abbi as Chaplain in the Army received the considerati on of the Com mittee on several o ccasions and negotiations were undertaken with th e Wa r Department by the President of the B oard and a th e Chairman of the Committee . The Dep rtment did not act s favorably on the representations that were made , fir t and primarily because the personnel of the Army having been o substantially reduced , the Chaplains C rps was larger than

permitted under the revised law ; second , because of practical difficulties involved in the app ointment of a Rabbi as Chaplain due to the fact that the Jewish men constituted a small minor

ity a every post or group of posts . The suggestion was made that a Chaplain at large b e appointed but the War Depart ment did not consider this feasibl e as it would c omplicate matters from an administrative point of view and would in volve similar provision for other minority religious denomina tions . Under the peace time reorganizati ons of th e War Depart wa s ff ment, an opportunity , however , o ered to Rabbis who served as Chaplains during the period of th e emergency an d subsequently als o to oth er members of the Rabbinate to enlist ffi ’ in the Chaplain Section of th e O cers Reserve Corps . The War Department requested the B oard through its Army and Navy Committee to review applications from Rabbis for a p t pointment o the Chaplain Corps , th e same function having been performed by th e Committee on Chaplains of the Board

during the war.

Con c lus ion

This rep ort has aimed to outline the activities undertake n

in behalf of disabled veterans and uniformed men , and also to

make evident the spirit underlying them . Th e Boa rd wishes th ese men to feel a n d to know that in p ea ce no less than in a n war, the Jewish community has a genuine , deep d loving interest in their welfare and that in th e Welfare Boa rd h a s been created the instrumentality for giving full a nd uncea sin g

expression to that interest . That the B oard h a s been abl e to dis ch a rge its respon si b il ity effectively is due in very large measure to the devoti on a n d zeal for service of its volunteers , representatives , com o f of munity c mmittees , o ficers and executives constituent so i ti T o it a re i c e es. them the Committee expresses s sincere pp c a o co- tion . Mindful als of the generous operation which has o t been acc rded by the War and Navy Depar ments , the United ’ S V n ates eterans B ureau and the America Red Cross, the Committee avails itself of this opportunity to make kn own to

them the gratitude of the Jewish Welfare Board .

o P o F llowing the example of the resident , I am als going

to make a personal statement . It will be in part a reiteration f s s o s o what he aid , that thi w rk and succe s is largely and almo st exclusively due t o the very intelligent and sympathetic interest and directi on which have been given to it by R Mr o . . Glucksman and abbi Sydney and their ass ciates It has been m y privilege to work with a good many Jewish or a n iz a tion s o th e g and a go d many capable people , but in years that I have spent in the Jewish Welfare B oard I have fou n d o the best team w rk that I have ever come across anywhere . to on e o And I want say j ust other word , very pers nal . You woul d hardly expect a person like myself altoge the r de voted to the wo rks of peace to have such a n intense a n d con r tin u in g interest in the army and navy work . During the wa wa r e e everybody was interested, and after the nearly v rybody

50 owe stopped being interested . I my determination to help o it ' u on to see this thing thr ugh , and I want to impress p you to as the thing be seen through , I owe it to a man wh o is oo o r sitting in this r m m re than to any dozen o hundred peopl e . I happened to be in Paris in 1 91 9 and one afternoon the re strode int o my little ro om in the hotel an officer in the regular

army . I never saw him and I never heard of him and did n ot o o kn w who he was , and he sat down and t ld me that officers in the regular army co uld not g o ab out making pro a a nda ot of his s so p g , but that he and hers age , at lea t, felt that much had been d one for the man in uniform in the service by the various welfare organizati ons that they ought to continue o in existence after the war, and that the men sh uld never be t o all owed slip back again to where they were . That man is now in this room and he is now a member of the Executive o o h is C uncil of the Jewish Welfare B ard , and name is Major R ckn ow Max . Wainer, and I want publicly to express my a l edg e m en t to him for the interest he gave me in continuing this work .

A s c Chairman of the Finan e Committee , I beg leave to sub mit to y ou a report on the finances of the Jewish Welfare Board for the period of sixteen ( 1 6) months beginning with 1 1 92 1 July , , the date on which the merger of th e Council of ’ Young M en s Hebrew and Kindred Associations and th e wi li W el fa re o ff B ard became e ective , and ending Octob er Jpl gzz It may be recalled that under th e provisions of the plan of of merger , the funds the Welfare B oard were trusteed and only the income from investments is availabl e for the opera o ti on s of the B ard . The total amount expended for the sixteen ( 1 6) months is of which was spent from January l st t S l st 1 922 . o O ctober , It is estimated that the expenditures for the entire calendar year of 1 922 will amount t o a pp roxi mately Th e receipts for the sixteen ( 1 6) months were The Executive Committee of the old Jewish Welfare th e f w B oard , anticipating di ference bet een the requirements o suffi a n d the receipts , set aside fr m the capital fund a sum cient to enabl e th e re organized Board to meet its obligations e a r for this y . In order for th e B oard to carry on in adequate measure its Army and Navy welfare activities and meet the increasing 1 923 needs of its Jewish Center work in , it is estimated that
