Lansing Move for
School Prayer OK
A move to seek a change in
the U.S. Constitution to permit
the saying of prayers in public
schools was endorsed by the
narrow margin of 1846 in
the State Senate Tuesday. It
now goes to the House for
action.
Leading vigorous opposition
to the resolution was Sen.
Charles S. Blond y, Detroit
Democrat and a Jew, "Nobody
should be embarrassed or
coerced into praying," said
Blondy. Prayers should be
kept in homes, churches and
synagogues, he added.
Blondy read a letter from
the Jewish Community Coun-
cil of Metropolitan Detroit in
opposition to the resolution,
calling it "a serious threat to
religious freedom."

Educated as a European

upon conversion to Christi-

critical study of Judaism.
Out of this study, Rosenzweig
produced works of such stature
that Reinhold Niebuhr has said
of him that he has had a share
equal to or larger than Buber
in the religious revolution of
modern Judaism.
Rabbi Silverman has pub-
lished extensively in the Jew-
ish and scholarly press. He is
an editor of the magazine Con-
servative Judaism and of the
journal Judaism. Author of
"The Religious Press in Amer-
