prominent Rabbis in nation-wide
meetings held last spring when 278
cities were visited. Plans are now',
being made to hold meetings and
conferences in 600 cities this fall.
Many prominent Jewish leaders
are participating as local and na-
tional sponsors, speakers and com-
mitteemen.
An integral part of the Em-
ergency Peace Campaign is the
activity this summer of 225 col-
lege men and women acting as
peace volunteers. These are com-
posed of 41 teams working in
politically strategic areas. A
number of students of the Hebrew
Union College of Cincinnati have
joined. It is expected that the
coming summer will see a num-
ber of rabbinical students from
other seminaries throughout the
country enrolled in this movement.
Dr. Braunstein will shortly issue
an appeal to the rabbis of America,
requesting them to devote one of
their High Holiday sermons to the
cause of peace. This effort, with a
similar request to the Christian
ministers throughout the country,
