The Jews will join in a national day of prayer on March 23 proclaimed by King George, it was announced today by Chief Rabbi J.H. Hertz.
“His Majesty’s Jewish subjects will loyally obey the royal summons,” Dr. Hertz stated, “and all congregations under my jurisdiction will, in the course of next week, receive the order of service containing supplications to Father in heaven for strength and guidance in the stern struggle before us, as well as prayers of thanksgiving for the mercies and victories hitherto granted to the forces of freedom.”
