ish Theological Seminary of

tributions to Jewish culture,

of the Bnai Moshe rabbi,
will be presented with an
award at the Bnai Moshe
Sabbath services, May 25.
The award is being made

Lehrman's efforts in estab-
lishing the Bnai Moshe Mu-
seum which contains many
valuable ceremonial objects.

fessorship, dean of students
