dent of the Central Conference
of American Rabbis condemned
what he termed the dominant em-
phasis --within the Jewish com-
munity of fund raising and a down-
grading of religious institutions
"toward- the • bottom of financial
and moral priorities."
Rabbi David Polish of Evanston,

Union College Jewish Institute of
Religion during the Founder's Day

thte Jewish people."'
The CCAR president acknowl-

make numerous changes in em-

munity. • _
He deplored the situation where-
in the synagogue is currently main-

drain the financial resources of
the grass roots Jewish community
instead of helping to build the re-
ligious institutions needed to play
a central role in Jewish life.
