Shaarey Zedek to Be Represented
Jewish Theological Seminary Chancellor
Calls Papal Visit as U.S. Envoy Significant in Museum's Synagogue Exhibition

Dr. Louis Finkelstein, Chan-
cellor of the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America, who was
a member of the U.S. delega-
tion to the Coronation of Pope
Paul VI, in a message to Semi-
nary friends, _described his im-
pressions and experiences while
in Rome. Dr. Finkelstein wrote:
"The White House staff had
known on the Saturday that I
was to be in the delegation, but
did not telephone the Seminary
then out of respect for our Sab-
bath. The State Department not
only informed me of the proto-
col in these matters, which is
complex, but went to consider-
able trouble to fly over by
special courier those items of
clothing which I had supposed
I would not need while on holi-
day. The Department also
showed concern about my food
in Rome, and discovered two
kosher restaurants there (I had
known only one).
"Our country has moved very
far when a Jew, and particular-
ly a rabbi, can be appointed a
delegate to such a ceremony,
representing a predominantly
Christian land with more than
40 million Roman Catholics in
its population. There were other
non-Catholics on the various
delegations — Buddists, Copts,
Moslems, Protestants and others
—but they came from states
with small Catholic populations
or none at all. My situation was
unique: after all, the over-
whelming majority of our fel-
low Americans are Christians,
and the United States delega-
tion might be expected to con-
sist of Catholics and Protes-
tants.
"The fact that a rabbi was
appointed to this post, and that
the appointment was welcomed
by the Vatican, shows great
progress. (Indeed, I was told
that the appointment was re-
ceived as an indication of the
universal respect for the Pope,
who has concern for all men of
religion). This suggests that
what we at the Seminary and in
Conservative Judaism have
been saying and doing in the
past 25 years has not been in
vain.
"To make use of the image
of Deutero Isaiah, we Jews are
the witness people; we are a
pledge to remind the human
race of its true goal. It is not
enough to say this. Like Moses,
the Prophets, and the great
Sages of Israel, we must feel it
so deeply that it becomes nat-
ural for us to remember and to
demonstrate its implications by
day and night, when we arise
and when we go to sleep, when
we are in our homes and when
we walk by the way.
"Following the coronation
ceremonies, there was the papal
audience for members of for-
eign, delegations. We were
taken into the Sistine Chapel.
The Chief Justice, who was
head of the delegation, had left
Rome the previous night, and,
just before we left the hotel,

Senator Mansfield came up to
me and asked .that I serve in
his place. The heads of delega-
tion would be separated from
the others and seated in a spe-
cial part of the chapel, and each
one would go up to greet the
Pope .. .
"I think the Pope was as
startled when he saw me as I
was to be there. I told him I
was certain that he was going
to meet President Kennedy
later, and thus would have the
greetings of the United States
brought to him formally, but,
as a member of the delegation,
I wanted also to bring greetings
to him. He said 'Oh, yes, I

understand very well and I
want to extend my best wishes
to you and to the delegation.'
"The final event was the din-
ner in the President's palace,
one of the- most brilliant affairs
I have ever attended. This was
tendered to President Kennedy
by President Segni of Italy, and
took place in the Quirinal Pal-
ace. It was attended by mem-
bers of the American Embassy,
and, of course, by officials of
the Italian government. All to-
gether, there were 114 people
at the dinner, and perhaps 400
more at the reception which
followed it, and which lasted
until after midnight."
