The Gleaner, Vol. 34 July, 1930 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Gleaner, Vol. 34: July, 1930 In the activities of the Hebrew people of Newark, Mr. Schlesinger has played an important part. He is particularly interested in the maintenance of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum and is a director of the society governing it. He also was formerly a member of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Congregation B'nai Jeshurun, and was a chairman of the Building Committee under whose direction its handsome new temple was erected. He is a member of the Executive Board of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and Chairman of the National Board of State Directors of The National Farm School. These are only high spots relating to the career of a modest man, whom it has been my privilege to know intimately for many years. Had he done nothing more than his constructive work for The National Farm School, the results obtained would alone merit your esteem and appreciation. During our Jubilee Campaign, the object of which was the raising of funds necessary for maintenance and improvement, he graciously accepted the Chairmanship of the Newark Drive, which resulted in the city going over the top of their quota, which was The collections made in much larger cities were far below this amount, and Newark, N. J stood almost at the head of the list. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
