During the discussion, Dr. Silver's photograph was flashed on a screen to add to the feeling that he was ac- tually present at the impres- sive event. Rabbis Hertz, Kapustin and Chinitz each spoke for five min- utes, evaluating Dr. Silver's con- tributions to Jewish life and his new book, "Where Judaism Dif- fered."
