Convention to Consider Resolution Calling
for Recognition of Magen David Adorn
MIAMI — The national
convention of the American
Red Cross, which will con-
vene in Los Angeles on

resolution that urges the In-
ternational Red Cross to
immediately recognize
Magen David Adorn (MDA),
Israel's national Red Cross
society.
The resolution, which

will be presented by the
Harrisburg, Pa. chapter,
states in part that "MDA
has met every criteria for
admission to the family of
Red Cross Societies, except
for an approved emblem."
Magen David Adorn is
still not accorded recogni-
tion because it chooses to
use as its symbol the Red
Star of David, instead of the
Christian Red Cross, Mos-
lem Red Crescent, or the
Red Lion and Sun of Iran.
The resolution further
asks that if the attempt to
achieve immediate recogni-
tion is unsuccessful, that
the American Red Cross
seek additional steps "even
to the extent of taking steps
to withholding operating
funds from the Interna-
tional Committee of the Red
Cross and the League of Red
Cross Societies if deemed
necessary, in order to
achieve recognition of
MDA, and admission of that
society to its rightful place
in the Red Cross family."
Magen David Adorn
celebrates its 50th anniver-
sary next month and was
recognized by the Knesset
as Israel's official Red Cross
society 32 years ago. Magen
David Adorn still remains
the only national society
that fully cooperates with
its worldwide parallel
bodies and meets all condi-
tions for recognition by the
International Red Cross,
but remains unrecognized
because of its choice of an
emblem.

States, Israel, England and
France representing var-
ious disciplines within the
field of Jewish studies, will
meet together with senior
representatives of the Uni-
versity of Heidelberg and of-
ficials from the Education
and Finance Ministries
May 5-7 in Heidelberg.
Co-sponsor of the assem-
bly will be the sponsor of the
college, the Central Council
of Jews in Germany, under
the chairmanship of Werner
Nachmann, of Karlsruhe,
Feldman said.
The college was
founded in June 1979 and
began instruction at the
opening of the winter
semester 1979-1980 with
an enrollment of 21 stu-
dents in quarters made
available by the Univer-
sity of Heidelberg.
A group of visiting profes-
sors and part-time in-
structors, primarily drawn
from Israel, comprise the
teaching faculty, supported
by an administrative staff of
two. The nucleus of a grow-
ing library was a donation
of 3000 books of Hebraica
and Judaica in German.
The college provides aca-
demic preparation for those
who wish to study for
careers as rabbis and can-
tor-educators and offers
academic training for those
who wish to become com-
munal and social workers in
the Jewish communities of
the German-speaking coun-
tries of central Europe,
Feldman said.
