“The Jewish entertainment at the Academy of Music, on Tuesday last, was a complete success. Upwards of a thousand dollars was netted toward erecting an ‘Asylum for the Aged and Infirm of the Hebrew persuasion.’ We hear that similar entertainments will be given during the Winter until a sufficient fund has been raised.”
