NEV YORK—Dr. Michael L.
Munk of New York will become
the first Rabbi to minister to the
spiritual needs of the Berlin Jew-
ish community since pre-war days.
He left for the German capital
Tuesday.
Invited by the Jewish commun-
ity of Berlin to return to the
city of his birth and guide the
re-establishment of religious life
there, Dr. Munk, will assume his
new post through arrangements
made by the Joint Distribution
Committee.

ESCAPED IN 1938
The 42-year-old religious leader,
a distinguished scholar who es-
caped from Nazi Germany in De-
cember, 1938, will become Rabbi
of a resident Jewish community
of 7,500 souls, all that remain of
Berlin's pre-Hitler Jewish popula-
tion of 160,000.
During the recent Passover holi-
days, more than 5,000 persons at-
tended services in the seven re-
maining Berlin synagogues.
Classes for religious education
have been established, and a
slaughterhouse providing kosher
meat for the community is in op-
eration.
Prayerbooks and religious arti-
cles, in addition to direct relief
supplies and Passover foods, were
made available through the Joint
Distribution Committee.

Asked how he thought children
in the Berlin community should
be taught to feel toward German
Christians, Dr. Munk said they
should be brought up in the old
Jewish spirit of broad-mindedness
but that "the memory of what
took place in a century of civil-
ization and culture should be kept
alive."
