build the Home was signed. One week later, the corner-
stone was laid. Bialystoker landsleit all over America
contributed in many ways. Several condemned build-
ings were demolished along East Broadway to make
room for the new structure. Festivities to launch the
building campaign were held on September 22, 1929.
Thousands of Bialystoker Jews, friends, and official
representatives of numerous organizations joined in lay-
ing the cornerstone. The building committee estimated
the cost of erecting the Home at around $400,000. The
Bialystoker Ladies Auxiliary undertook }0 raise
