"In common with the general population of Britain, Anglo-Jewry is withstanding the heathen fury of the Nazi barbarian. Much has been reduced to ruin in these days of terror and suffering. Synagogues have disappeared through enemy action, old congregations are dissolved through dispersal, and communal activities essential to our religious welfare have been paralyzed.... The Jewish War-Fund for Religious Reconstruction, that I am herewith inaugurating, will render possible the 're-building' of some of those 'waste places' which my Religious Emergency Council deem to be or transcendent importance for our spiritual self-respect and self-preservation.
