sented to Leonard R. Farber.
A number of New York
rabbis last sabbath devoted
their sermons to the much-pub-
licized crusade of Billy Graham
at Madison Square Garden.
Most expressed approval over
the "awakening of interest in
religion" that Graham's six-
week stand has evoked, but
many rabbinical , leaders had
some criticism.
Dr. Louis C. Gerstein, of the
Spanish and Portuguese "Syna-
gogue, said he objected to sell-
ing religion like "one might sell
tooth paste or hair dressing,"
and criticized "parading one's
piety with 'self-satisfied smug-
ness and aggressive humility."
Five hundred persons are ex-
pected to attend the 34th anni-

program of dinner music, in-
eluding traditional Jewish "ne-
gunim" will be provided by or-
chestra leader Sam Barnett.

tertain the guests.
Eisenberg, who is treasurer of
Young- Israel, said that the ban-
quet is the congregation's major
fund raising effort of the year.

groups.

anniversary celebration, the YI
