Colony near Vineland shows progress for Jewish refugees
A Vineland New Jersey correspondent describes 60 Hebrew Nation Society funded families on 1100 acres near the colony. Each family owns about 15 acres, pays about 420 to 600 for land with 3 percent annual interest, and relies on berry picking, seasonal work, and logging. They face isolation, lack a church, attend rabbi-led services, and plan a strawberry and berry crop.
