dustrial center, are the Kaiser-

officially be presented at a later
date at public ceremonies at the
City Hall.
Leaving his post at Bradford,
Pa., where he had been spiritual
leader at Temple Beth Israel
since 1949, Rabbi Einhorn start-
ed his tour in mid-June, and
flew here from Teheran, Iran
for the ceremony Sunday.
One of the highlights of his
travels was a memorandum writ-
ten on his observations of Spain
at the request of U. S. Ambassa-
dor to Spain, Stanton Griffis.
Rabbi Einhorn describes the
Jews of Spain as follows:
"They feel their status, as a
minority, more acutely than -al-
most anywhere except in. the
Middle East ... They conscien-
tiously make every endeavor to
hide their identity . . . They ob-
viously recognize the fact . .
that the regime cannot be criti-
cized and that protests and pe-
titions are not methods employ-
ed in this country. They do not
complain of active anti-Semi-
tism but have to some extent
become accustomed to the idea
that a psychological and refined
form of anti-Semitism finds its
expression in an under-the-sur-
face discrimination."
After explaining how the eyes
of the world are focused on
Spain "because of the- tradition-
al history of so many hundreds
of years ago" during the Inquis-
ition, the torture and expulsions
which followed, Rabbi Einhorn
continues:
"As an American rabbi the
question of Spain and the part
she is to play in the defense of
democracy is of paramount im-
portance . . . It would appear to
us (the other rabbis of the
United States) that we are
weakening the moral strength
of our own case by appearing to
tolerate dictatorship where it
suits us and fighting it where
it does not suit us."
Obtaining his education in
Czechoslovakia, .Italy, Belgium
and England, Rabbi Einhorn
studied for the rabbinate with
Dr. J. H. Hertz, the late chief
rabbi of Great Britain. As cul-
tural director of the Maccabi
for Great Britain and Ireland,
he led a delegation in 1948 to
sessions in Switzerland. He was
from 1945 to 1948 head of the
Information Department for the
World Jewish Congress, and was
also key man in England for the
Jewish Agency for Palestine.
As president of the Essex Jew-
ish Council, of tie \ Board of
Deputies of British J e w s, h e
fought a vital propaganda cam-
paign in Britain when Ernest
Bevin, Foreign Minister, w a s
conducting his Anti - Zionist
battle.
Before coming to Bradford
and thence to Detroit, Rabbi
Einhorn was senior rabbi at the
West Ham Synagogue in Lon-
don. He came to Toronto in
1948 to become spiritual leader
of Goel Tzedic Cong., largest
conservative synagogue in Can-
ada. While in Pennsylvania, he
was vice-president of the New
Jersey-Pennsylvania region of
the Jewish National Fund.
