`Community by Consensus'
Formed by American
Jews, Historian Says
Dr. Stanley F. Chyet, associate
professor of Jewish-American his-
tory at Hebrew Union College,
told 450 Protestant ministers the
growth of American Judaism has
made it "more communal and less
theological" and since World War
II, U.S. Jews have drawn more
and more together.
Dr. Chyet addressed delegates
to the 27th annual Michigan Pas-
tors Conference at the University
of Michigan Monday. The State's
Protestant ministers have been
studying the transition in Judeo-
Christian relations within the
World religious situation.
Pointing out that the Second
World War forced all Jews to
unite for self-preservation, Dr.
Chyet said this resulted in a pull-
ing away of Jews from non-Jews
due to past experiences. American
Jews today do form a true com-
munity, simply on a basis of
consensus."
