A Jewish Community Chest for local and foreign charities is planned by South African Jewry.
The custom of overseas Jewish charitable, educational and other institutions sending collectors to obtain financial support from Jewry in South Africa, which of late has been the subject of criticism in Jewish circles, was discussed at the last meeting of the South African Board of Deputies.
The Board, having been asked by one of its Constituent Bodies to organize these collections in a satisfactory manner, decided to refer the matter to the Executive Committee for further consideration.
