Abraham Carmel, Noted Convert
to Judaism, to Address Forum

Abraham Carmel, the first Cath-
olic priest since the 9th Century
to enter Judaism, will be the first
speaker in the Forum 1968 series
to be presented by the cultural
committee of the Flint Jewish
Community Council.
Carmel, author of "So Strange
My Path," will speak 8:30 p.m.
Jan. 14 at Cong. Beth Israel.
Other programs in the series
will include Dr. Daniel Jeremy
Silver, rabbi of The Temple in
Cleveland, Jan. 28; a professional
cast performing selections from
three major plays of Paddy Chayef-
sky, Feb. 29: and a musical odys-
sey, "From Shtetl to Broadway,"
March 24.

Carmel, born in 1911 in Lon-
don as Kenneth Charles Cox,
was received into the Catholic
Church during his youth and
was ordained a priest in 1943.
Carmel's spiritual journey to-
ward Judaism climaxed a long and
agonizing period of doubt concern-
ing the divinity of Jesus; he fi-
nally discovered in Judaism what
he had been seeking. Five years
of probation culminated in his ac-
ceptance by the London court of
the chief rabbi.
Since 1953, Carmel has been an
observent Jew, and from 1959 to
1961 he lived and worked in Israel.
He is a graduate of the school of
education, Yeshiva University, and
is now a member of the English
faculty at the Yeshiva of Flathush
in Brooklyn.
