Southwestern Jewish Press October 2, 1953 Page 8
The First Annual Institute for Judaism held last weekend at the Del Mar Hotel Friday, Sept 25 to Sunday, Sept 27 brought to fruition plans made months ago by B’nai B’rith Supreme Lodge President Philip M. Klutznick. B’nai B’rith has adopted a national program of Jewish education for adults directed by professional educators. The faculty for the Del Mar Institute included Rabbi Edgar F. Magnin, Dr. Joseph Kaplan, Milton Senn, and Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin. Rabbis Cohn, Levens and Stern of San Diego all participated in the Institute and contributed greatly to its overall success.
Attendance varied from 70 to 100 during the three days as many San Diegans attended individual sessions. Discussions were thought provoking and created a desire for further Jewish education among those attending. The Institute was a milestone in West Coast B’nai B’rith activity as it revitalized interest in adult education in Judaism.
The Del Mar Institute was co-sponsored by the B’nai B’rith District Grand Lodge No. 4 and the Southern California Council of B’nai B’rith Lodges. District 4 Grand President Samuel Fendel flew from San Francisco in order to attend the stimulating discussions. Eddie Breitbard and Morrie Kraus were San Diego representatives in charge of arrangements.

Recommendations for the distribution of the monies raised in the 1953 Combined Jewish Appeal of the United Jewish Fund will be presented to the Fund’s Board meeting next week by the Allocations Committee, according to Murray D. Goodrich, President.
Though $196,000 has been secured in pledges in this year’s campaign, the Allocations committee consisting of ten members of the Board of directors and fifteen members selected at large from the community, will base its recommendations on the anticipation of reaching the $210,000 goal set as San Diego’s quota for the campaign.
Based on 1952 giving, campaign chairmen, Carl M. Esenoff and Milton Y. Roberts, indicated that over $20,000 is still outstanding in anticipated pledges.
However, in order to meet the urgent request being received by the United Jewish Fund from the United Jewish Appeal, $25,000 in cash from San Diego on or before October 10—everyone is urged to convert their 1953 pledges into cash immediately so that the Fund can forward the maximum amount to the United Jewish Appeal for assistance in Israel, in Europe, and in Moslem countries. $10,000.00 in cash has already been forwarded to the offices of the United Jewish Appeal with a promise that the other $15,000.00 will follow
