Their Sad Pliffht
In his recent wonderful tour through America David A. Brown described most eloquently the plight al our t^- religicinists ahrond — a situation whidh culls for prompt action by -warm hearjs and willing hands. During the cai paign of lt)22 which resulted in the col¬ lection of ifl.l.OyiM'O't, it wah 'believey that with that sum American Jewish ef¬ forts tor constructive relief -would solve all existing problems and render fuluH: appeals for help unnecessary. These -ex¬ pectations would h.ive been realized un¬ der normal circumstances. "Unrortun.itc- ly, however, economic disasters wliich could not have been forcbCeii, have -made it impemtive to cf<mc once more to Ibc rescue.
Boycott and Anti-Scmitism
In some of the countries of Enrope, the Jews have .suffered not only from tlje^ general economic dcprcsbion which Ex¬ ists there, but, also fnim thi- pressurp of a boycott, of anti-Semitic propaganda, and of discriminatory regulatioiib. <J]he directors of tTio Joint Distribution Com> niittee have made a careful snrvey of conditions through the most reliable agencies and are confident, thnt if I American Jewry will again respond, they can still enable our stricken brethren tp bridge over the coming three years, wi^h every prospect that at the end of that period the present unt;)\vard conditions will be righted and a nurmjl life will be restored.

SERVICE AT THE BIER'
New York City —A large throng crowded into the aiiditoruiin of Temple Beth Klohim. Eighth Avenue and Gar-j field Place, Brooklyn, on Thursday' nitirning, April f*tli. as Dr. Alexander| r.yoii=;. minister nF thc Temple, read the' last 5iTvice at the bier of Rose Brenner, departed Pjc-idcnt nf the National Council of Jewi-ili Women. Hundreds' stood nutsidf the temple in thc down-' p.nir of r:iin. tr. pav a silent tribute to 1 woman \vho«e le.ider'-hip in the causes" of Jewish womanhood combined an un-, Ur^ual piety and dcvntlnii tti Judaism.i Thc ttnipic was tittiiigly chuseii at. her' ast resting place aniong her family. friends, ;ulniircr.s and co-workers, for it wa-; the institution to wliith she had ' given over twenl> years of volunteer service as a teacher, on whoap Executive Board .^he held the fir^t position assigned to a woman, a;id whuRu sisterhood she bad directed for many years as hs presi-, dent.
The National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, the Woman's League of the United Synagogue of America, thc Ha¬ dassah. the National League of Women Voters, the National Council of Jewish Juniors, and the Grand Lodge of thc B'rith Abraham Order were among the organizations that sent messages and of- ferin/?s nf tnbute to tbe life of thc Council's departed leader.

Thc Board ot Managers of the Na¬ tional Council of Jewish Women sent, as its parting tribute to the leader it had lost, a floral piece that reproduced the seal of thc Council, with its motto: "Faith and Humanity," and its ceremo¬ nial insignia that included thc scroll of the Torah and the Ner Tamid, the per¬ petual light.
A further tribute was paid by the Council's Board of Managers to the memory of Rose Brenner, in thc follow-' imj; statement th.it was issued by Mr^.; William D. Sporherg of Port Chester,] N. v., First Vi:e President of the N^-t tional Council of Jewish Women, and' Mrs. Estelle M. Sternberger, its Execfl-' live Secretary.
"In the passing of its president, the National Council of Jewish Women deeply mourns the loss of a leader who belonged to all Jewish womanhood. The sympathies of her heart prompted her to^L lake-thought for the welfare of those"^ who necfled tbe consolations of tender¬ ness. Her soul constantly sought for visions that would stir the. imagination antf conscienri* of her co-workers to consecrate their talents to Judaism and to Humanity. She .served and labored i nthat serenity of mind :ind tranquility of spirit that marked her lost hotir with us on earth. The annals of -American Womanhood have been enriched by her life wlio&e si>irit w.'iis summed up in a , t|uotatioii she so often repeated: 'The mo't compelling desire of every man's heart is a work in life which it is well worth living for, and which cannot be cut short by the accident of one's own <lcath.'
