It is doing so in a re- modeled museum that cov- ers most of the main floor of the Bnai Brith Building. Beginning with the first landing of Jewish colonists at New Amsterdam in 1654 and winding through more than three centuries of Jew- ish achievements and prog- ress in politics, industry and labor, science, the arts and education, the historical journey at the Bnai Brith Klutznick Museum is made in an American Bicenten- nial exhibit featuring some 500 original and facsimile documents, letters, por- traits, newspapers, photo- graphs and other memora- bilia. * * * Blood Bank Rally Metropolitan Detroit Bnai Brith Council will have its regular blood bank rally 5-10 p.m. Monday and Tues- day at Pepper School, Oak Park. - faiths in Turkish Palestine were under the jurisdiction of the Turkish Moslem au- thorities. As a result of the political pressure of the great powers in the late 18th Century and early 19th Century, "ca- pitulations" were granted to the various Christian de- nominations by which these denominations were recog- nized by the authorities as being responsible in matters of the personal status of their religious communities. These arrangements were guaranteed by the great powers of the time, resulting in an arrange- ment in which the Rus- sians became the "pro- tectors" of the Orthodox communities, the French of the Catholic communi- ties and the British of the Protestant and Jewish communities. With the dissolution of the Turkish empire follow- ing World War I and the granting of the mandate to Great Britain, the manda- tory authorities, while re- moving the "protective" role of external powers, decided to maintain the autonomous rights and privileges of the religious communities in matters of personal status. With the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, there was some considera- tion of annulling the pre- existing role of the religious communities over their ad- herence in matters of per- sonal status, but this en- countered stiff opposition from the Moslem and Chris- tian religious leaders, as well as from the Jewish Or- thodox rabbinate. It was decided, therefore, for the sake of social stability, to maintain those arrange- ments which had been cus- tomary for close to two cen- turies. To attribute the difficulty of mixed marriages in Israel to an alleged exclusive jur- isdiction of the Jewish reli- gious authorities is both fac- tually and historically inaccurate and distorts the character of Israel.
