This newspaper article, printed on April 24, 1914 in The Chicago Sentinel, discusses the rise of women's clubs, in particular the Chicago Jewish Committee for Palestinian Welfare.
This article shows that only one year after founding Hadassah, Henrietta Szold had already inspired the founding of other organisations in support of the Yishuv (the pre-state Jewish population in Israel). It also provides insight into the motivations of the women who joined these organisations. The article also publicises the annual meeting of the Chicago Jewish Committee for Palestinian Welfare.
The Chicago Sentinel was a weekly Jewish newspaper that was active from 1911 to 1996. Most Jewish newspapers at that time were written in Yiddish, but this English-language newspaper appealed to many immigrants who were beginning to integrate into society yet still wished to maintain a traditional Jewish lifestyle.
