Much Giving
Last week, Jews, having received, decided to give. The Council of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies of New York made ready plans for four "Million-Dollar-Days" (Nov. 16, 17, 18 and 19), on which Jewish trade committeemen will attempt to extract a total of $4,000,000 for charitable purposes from their brethren. The names of Col. Michael Friedsam (of B. Altman & Co.) and of Arthur Lehman were honorably prefixed to Million-Dollar-Days Nov. 16 and Nov. 17 respectively.
Meanwhile Felix M. Warburg, as Associate Chairman of the Council, and Mrs. Warburg announced that they had created a $500,000 fund, to be known as "The Moritz and Charlotte Warburg Memorial Fund for the Training of Scholars, Ministers and Teachers of the Jewish Faith."
Simultaneously, a $250,000 building drive was launched to provide funds to enlarge the Brooklyn Jewish Home for Convalescents.
