"Tragedy in a Temporary Town," an ALCOA Hour drama by
Reginald Rose, will receive the 1956 Television Award of the
Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith as "the most dramatic
and forthright television program of the year bringing the mes-
sage of democracy to the American people." The presentation
will be made Sunday, when "Tragedy" will be retelecast on
the NBC network. Robert Sarnoff, president of the National
Broadcasting Company, will accept the award. The play dramat-

attack.
Rabbinate Survey Phoenix Mayor Draws
Published in N.Y. Blast on Israel Slurs
N
A total of 4,257 rabbis were
in the United States at the be-
ginning of 1955, according to a
statement made by Dr. H. S.
Linfield,' executive secretary of
the Jewish Statistical Bureau,
in a new survey, published in
New York by the Jewish Bu-
reau, national organization for
collection of statistics on Amer-
ican Jewry.
Nearly. 2,500 rabbis are of-
ficiating in Jewish congrega-
tions as their preachers, teach-
ers and leaders, and 945 rabbis,
or 22%, are engaged full-time
in specialized Jewish commu-
nity work, in education and
welfare work. - This is a new-
development, Dr. Linfield states,
since in former yars_ the num-
ber of rabbis engaged full-time
in non-congregational service
was small.

gram by Mayot Jack Williams

Dr. Linfield notes, did not in-
clude the small number of rab-
bis who were engaged full-time
in non-congregational services.
At the beginning of 1955, the
rabbis of the Reform wing,
members of the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis,
and the rabbis of the Conserva-
tive wing, members of the Rab-
binical Assembly of America,
jointly constituted 30% of all
the rabbis in the country, the
survey showed.
Of the four Jewish semina-
ries at the beginning of 1955,
two were for the training of
orthodox rabbis, and one each
for conservative and reform
rabbis. In addition to these
schools primarily for the train-
ing of rabbis, the author lists
ten academies for higher Jew-
ish learning with facilities for
students to prepare themselves
for the rabbinate. These 'insti-
tutions now prepare many of
their students for ordination
and the vocation of the ortho-
dox rabbi. More rabbis than
ever before are now - being
trained at the merican Jewish
schools, Dr. Linfield states.
Nearly 80% of the American-
trained rabbis have secular edu-
cation of four years of college
or more, the . survey reveals.
