Americans will eagerly offer the
hospitality of their homes for
these unfortunates. The arrival o f
a huge expeditionary army of lit
tle ones to these shores will im-
measurably fortify our spirit and
will generate in us a spirit of
selflessness and sacrifice which
will enable us to face the future
with courage and confidence."
Dr. Arzt called attention to the
fact that this is the first conven-
tion of the Rabbinical Assembly
ever to be held west of the At-
antic Coast. He paid tribute to
Dr. Cyrus Adler, leader of con-
servative Judaism for the past
25 years until his death in April,
and congratulated Prof. Louis
Finkelstein, a member of the Rab-
binical Assembly, upon his elec-
tion to the presidency of the Jew-
ish Theological Seminary of
America and upon his selection
by President Roosevelt to formu-
late plans for world peace based
on religious principles, as succes-
sor to Dr. Adler.

Rabbi and Community
At a symposium on "The Rabbi

and the American Community".
on Tuesday, papers were read by
Rabbi Morris Adler of Detroit,
Rabbi Armond E. Cohen of Cleve-
land, and Rabbi David Goldstein
of Omaha. Rabbi Max D. David-
son was chairman of the session.
Rabbi Adler. in describing the
relation of the rabbi to national
organizations, concluded that "in
these dark (lays. even spiritual
leaders need to refresh themselves
at the springs of faith and hope.
A secondary place, then, is to be
assigned for activity in the na-
tional organizations — the Bnai
Brith, the Zionist organization,
the Federations, etc.—with whose
purposes we feel greatest kin-

e shock of a possible Ger-
s n ihai‘ np‘T.'ll'victory," said Rabbi Gold-
stein in his consideration of the
rabbi and the interfaith move-
ment, "has intensified the efforts
of those elements in America
which wish to advance the cause
of decency and democracy. The
three great religious groups, Cath-
olic, Protestant and Jewish, have
at last been forced to the realiza-
tion that the "nihilist" revolution
is directed against them too and
that they must stand together in
union to frustrate the designs
against them."
Rabbi Armond E. Cohen dis-
cussed the Jewish Center Move-
ment and said that Jewish Cen-
ters which were merely social
settlements were unjustifiable.
He argued that Center leader-
ship "if not rabbinic, must at
least possess faith and Jewish
conviction."
Rabbi S. Joshua Kahn of Utica,
Rabbi A. Elihu Michelson of
Peekskill, Rabbi Samuel S. Ru-
derman of New London, Rabbi
Judah Nadich of Buffalo, Rabbi
A. Herbert Fedder, of Brooklyn
and Rabbi Nachman Arnoff of
Chicago also participated in the
symposium.
Rabbi Max J. Reutenberg of
Harrisburg, program chairman of
the convention, delivered the
opening message and Rabbi Elias
Charry of Indianapolis offered
the opening prayer.

The Public Meeting

At the public meeting held on
Tuesday evening, in the main
auditorium of Shaarey Zedek,
Dr. Finkelstein paid tribute to
the memory of Dr. Cyrus Adler.
Describing the development of
the Jewish Theological Seminary,
Dr. Israel M. Goldman of Provi-
dence, R. I., declared that the
Seminary "must strengthen more
and more the knowledge and
practice of Judaism in this land.
It must broaden the scope of its
educational projects and policies
to include every type of Jewish
professional leader, hundreds of
thousands of Jewish adults
throughout the land and also
the religious leaders of the whole
country. But the Seminary must
do even more than preserve Ju-
daism in , America. It must now
save Judaism for the world! Nay,
even more than that, it must now
help save religion for mankind."
Greetings were extended at the
opening session by Dr. A. M.
Hershman, in behalf of the Uni-
ted Synagogue of America; Dr.
Clarence Hill Frank, executive
director of the Detroit Council
of Churches; Mrs. Charles Robin-
son, in behalf of the Women's
League of the United Synagogue
of America; Morris Blumberg, in
behalf of Congregation Shaarey
Zedek; Z. Gluska, representative
of the United Yemenites of Pal-
estine.
