A protest lodged with Dr.
Louis Finkelstein, Chancellor of
the Jewish Theological Sem-
inary, New York, by the Poale
Agudath Israel of America,
challenging a statement he made
in his recent address in Detroit
that he had been approached
by Poale Agudath Israel rep-
resentatives in Israel to estab-
lish a Conservative synagogue
in Israel, brought a statement
from Dr. Finkelstein explain-
ing his remarks.
Dr. Finkelstein contends that
he did not know his address,
as reported in The Detroit Jew-
ish News, was to be covered in
the press.. He said he spoke
under the impression that he
was addressing a private meet-
ing. In a reply to Shimshon
Heller of the Poale Agudath
Israel, in New York, he stated:

"I have received your reg-
istered letter requesting an
immediate reply with regard
to a statement I made when
I spoke in Detroit, at what
I thought was a private meet-
ing to raise funds for the
Seminary. I had no notion that
the speech would be reported
in the press.

"In the course of my re-
marks, I reported the fact that
when I was in Israel, some
young members of the Poale
Agudath Israel who talked to
me, urged very strongly that
Conservative Judaisni, as I
understood it, be established in
Israel. They did not represent
the organization in any way.
However they said in substance,
"Many of our youth,"—meaning
Israeli youth="will come to you
and will not come to us."
"This happened in 1957; I
know the men well. They are
sincere Jews and want very
much to keep a number of the
young people in Israel, who will
never be members of the Poale
Agudath Israel or Poal Miz-
rachi, within the ranks of reli-
gious Jewry. There As nothing
to be shocked about in this

you have been to Israel, you
know that they were simply
stating a' fact.
"I did not follow up this sug-
gestion in any way, and did
not agree to do anything about
it, becailse we have many res-
ponsibilities here. However, I
did refer to this incident in a
setting in which I thottght it
was relevant, but which I did
not expect to be reported in the
press. -
"I regret that it was repor-

not think that' the men who
spoke to me had in mind that
it should be published, al-
though what they said was not
in any way confidential."
