United Synagogue Consecrants
Convention Asks
To Be Honored
Social Security
ATLANTIC CITY (JTA) —
Congress was urged this Week by
the Convention of the United
Synagogue of America meeting
here, to adopt legislation placing
all religious officials and em-
ployes under the provisions of
the federal Social Security Act.
The convention, being attended
by 700 delegates representing 400
Conservative co ngregations
throughout the country, author-
ized its executive committee to
approach other religious and wel-
fare groups for the purpose of
organizing a united drive for such
legislation:
(Maurice H. Zackheim repre-
sented Congregation Shaarey Ze-
dek of Detroit at the convention.)
The delegates also voted for
stronger tenure rights for rabbis.
Under the new tenure system, a
rabbi who has been employed
for three years must be_ given
two years notice if his congrega-
tion decides to dispense with his
services. A rabbi who has satis-
factorily served one congregation
for five years will have life ten-
ure if the congregation has not
indicated before the five years
are up that they wish to replace
him.
Samuel M. Rothstein of Brook-
lyn, New .York was elected presi-
dent of the United Synagogue at
the concluding session of the con-
vention. He succeeds Louis Moss
who was named honorary presi-
dent.
The convention adopted resolu-
tions demanding the abrogation
of the Palestine White Paper and
the establishment of a Jewish
Commonwealth; supporting the
American Jewish Conference;
and establishing the Junior Syna-
gogue of America to cooperate
with other youth groups in cop-
ing with the problem of juvenile
delinquency.
