Rabbi Henry Kagan;
Counseled Cardinal
on Vatican Position
NEW YORK — Rabbi Henry
Enoch Kagan of Sinai Temple,
Mount Vernon, N.Y., who served
as a special consultant to- the Ecu-
menical Council Vatican II, died
Aug. 16 at age 62.
Rabbi Kagan helped counsel the
late Augustin Cardinal Bea, who
drafted the Catholic Church's 1965
declaration on "The Attitude of
the Church on Non-Christians,"
which formally exonerated the
Jews from the charge of deicide
for the crucifixion of Jesus.
Dr. Kagan, first full-time rabbi
to be licensed by New York state
as a consulting psychologist, ap-
plied psychology to bettering Jew-
ish-Christian relations.
In 1964, Rabbi Kagan organized
a research program at the Cath-
olic University of Milan on the
effect of the crucifixion account
in producing anti-Semitism. In
his book "Changing the Attitude
of Christian Toward Jew," he
expounded the idea of encourag-
ing prejudiced persons to "talk
out their prejudice under com-
petent guidance and in a proper
environment."
He was a professor of pastoral
psychology in the graduate school
of pastoral counseling at Iona Col-
lege, a Catholic institution in New
Rochelle, N.Y. Last year, he estab-
lished the counseling center of the
New York Federation of Reform
Synagogues as a result of his ex-
pressed concern about what he
called the drift of Jews away from
the synagogue, breakdown in Jew-
ish family life and the numbers of
Jewish neurotics in mental hospi-
tals.
Dr. Kagan was named the "out-
standing rabbi of metropolitan
New York" in 1961 by the New
York Federation of Jewish Phi-
lanthropies.
