Jacob Rosenheim, Professor Weil of Frankfort. Sali Guggenheim of Basle, Braun of Czechoslovakia. Lowenstein of Zurich. Rabbi Hyman Goodman of London. Deputy Dubin of Riga, Deputy Kirschbraun, member of the Polish parliament, and Rabbi Levin, member of the Polish parliament.
An important decision was also taken by the conference with regard to the internal Jewish situation in Poland. According to this decision the leaders of the Agudath Israel in Poland will be authorized to take steps to establish separate Orthodox Jewish communities on the model of the Frankfort Orthodox community in case the Kehillahs in Poland, which are composed of all sections of the community, will make allotments for anti-religious purposes.
