"Jewish Day - Century of Progress" exhibition medal, Chicago, USA.
“Jewish Day – Century of Progress” exhibition medal, Chicago, USA.
The “Jewish Day” is recorded by some observers as “the greatest Jewish spectacle ever staged in Chicago”, and it took place on July 3, 1933, at Soldier Field, before more than 125,000 people. It was sponsored by the Jewish Agency for Palestine (the quasi-governmental authority of the Jewish community in Palestine), with the President of the Zionist Congress, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, specially invited as the keynote speaker.
The musical-theatrical pageant “The Romance of A People” was the culminating event of the day (which took five years to plan) which commemorated Jewish contributions to the city of Chicago since its founding in 1833. The “Jewish Day” was one of around 24 such days planned by the Fair Committee to commemorate the contributions of various nationalities which composed the city of Chicago – as the Jews identified themselves closely with Palestine, the Jewish Agency was involved in the organizations and hence the themes of the event and this token.
front side: a picture of a child in the frame of an olive branch in the shape of a heart and the caption “Hebrew Kindergarten and Home for Toddlers, 35 Montgomery Street and 37th Street, New York City – Central Boulevard and Plaine-View Rockaway.”
back side: image of Moses bearing the Tablets descending Mount Sinai and legend in Hebrew “And Moses Descended Unto the People”.
