Jewish Gratitude

Rabbi Joseph S. Kornfeld of Columbus, Ohio, United States Minister to Persia, was presented by the representatives of the Persian Jews with a silver plate inscribed with the Ten Commandments. The plate was given as a token of gratitude for Dr. Kronfeld's intervention on their behalf in anti-Semitic disorders of last year.

President Cohensedegh of the Congress of Persian Zionists, who made the presentation, said that anti-Jewish disorders had reached such a state that at last an appeal was made to the American Minister, who persuaded the Persian Government to give Jews military protection. Owing to the action taken by Dr. Kronfeld the troubles were brought to an end.
