Christians Urged:
See Israel as Factor
in Jewish Tradition

PHILADELPHIA—Dr. Ab-
raham I. Katsh, calling for
the "reinvigorating of the
Judeo-Christian tradition to
undo a tragic wrong," ex-
pressed the hope that Chris-
tians will see Israel as a
major factor in the conti-
nuity of the ethical tradition
of Judaism.
Katsh, president of Dropsie
University was the only
Judaic' scholar invited to
participate with leading bibli-
cal scholars of other faiths
in a symposium on "Chris-
tian Action and Openness to
the World" sponsored by
Villanova (Pa.) University.

institution.
In his presentation, "The
Religious Tradition or Tra-
ditions in a Traditionless
Age," Dr. Katsh criticized
the international scene for
violating basic principles of
the Judeo-ChrisAian ethics
which hive been the founda-
tion of Western civilization.
Calling uoon the Christian
world to view Israel as r,
major factor in the conti-
nuity of Jewish tradition, Dr.
Katsh expressed the hon.
that Jews and Christians can
"work together, can under-
stand eac:1 other in the light
of truth. can respect each
other's differences, and ap-
preciate each other's simi-
larities."
