Nixon Sends Greetings
to Conservative Women
(D ire
ct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
KIAMESHA LAKE — President-
elect Richard M. Nixon sent greet-
ings Tuesday to the National Wo-
men's League of the United Syn-
gogue of America (Conservative),
which opened its five-day biennial
convention here. It was Nixon's
first message to a Jewish organi-
iation since his election and was
addressed to Mrs. Sol Henkind,
president of the League.
He declared, "Programs such as
yours to advance religious, educa-
tional and - social service projects
exemplify the kind of citizen in-
volvement which I have strongly
advocated and hope to strengthen
during the course of the next ad-
ministration."
Dr. Louis Finkelstein, chancel-
lor of the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America, rejected
in an address -the contention that
today's youth are bereft of reli-
gion. He told the 2,000 delegates
"Their impatience and revolt
against the injustice and smug-
ness of society is compatible with
religion, since Our Hebrew proph-
ets, too, were vociferous in ex-
pressing their sense of indigna-
tion at the smugness of their
times."
Dr. Finkelstein added "What is
remiss is that our youth today
follow only one aspect of true reli-
gion, namely that of protest and
quest for change, while ignoring
the second aspect of the integral
whole of religion—the observance
of rituals and the adherence to the
heritage of our forefathers and the
tenets of our faith."
