Rabbi Leo M. Franklin Quits American Judaism Council .•. Dr. ''Leo M. Franklin, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Beth El, De- troit, one of the earliest graduates of HebreW -Union College and Rabbi of Detroit for nearly half a century, this week submitted his resignation from the' Council for Judaism 'to the Council's pres- ident, LeSsing J. Rosenwald. Dr. Franklin wrote: "I cannot personally think of myself in other terms than as an American citizen of the Jewish faith. As the Torah is the only 'symbol of irt7,• Jewishness, so the Stars and Stripes represent the only flag to which I give political allegiance. Nevertheless, I am sub- mitting herewith my resignation as a .1..lember of the American Council' for Judaism. I believe . that the time has come when, for the sake of world Jewry, the Am- erican Council- for . Judaism, if it is to continue, inuSt definitely shift its emphasis from that Of mere opposition to Jewish na- tionalism to the positive support of every. legitimate effort to gain for the :Jews of 'the world the rights of citizenship in every, democratic country, including Palestine. Short. of this, the Coun cil, in my opinion, has no further reason for being. For a long time, I have been convinced that the policy of the Council has been negative and at times even de- structive rather than spiritually constructive, and with such a policy I cannot be in sympathy. • Byron Miller Speaks To Attorneys of AJC NW Graduation To Be on Shevuot THE JEWISH NEWS-7 • Frttlay; June 11, 1948 Northwest Hebrew Congrega- Byron S.
