New England Jewish communities rallied to the support of the Hebrew Teachers College of Boston at a conference held here yesterday. More than fifty delegates from fourteen New England towns and cities promised cooperation in order to produce better equipped Hebrew teachers and to speed up Hebraic learning in New England.
The conference, which was called to interest New England Jewish communities outside of Boston in the welfare of the college, listened to a report by Dr. Samuel Perlman, dean of the college, on its present status and scope of work, an address by Prof. Nathan Isaacs of Harvard, president of the Bureau of Jewish Education, of which the college is a part, on the need and service of the college and a report by Louis Hurwich on advanced Jewish education in New England.
A plan to organize associate boards of trustees consisting of representatives from cities other than Boston, proposed by Nathan E. Goldstein of Springfield, was adopted and a committee on constitution consisting of Prof. Isaacs, Judge A. E. Pinanski, Judge J. J. Kaplan and Lewis Goldberg was appointed. The committee on organization is composed of the following: Chairman, Henry Yozell, of Lynn; Edward Cohen, Cambridge; Nathan E. Goldstein, Springfield; Dr. S. G. Pavlo, Malden; Henry and Hillel Hassenreld, Providence; Samuel Salny, Fitchburg; John L. Davis, Portland; Albert A. Cohen, Chelsea; Bernard Appel, Revere; Nathan Friedman, Taunton; Louis Shapiro, Portsmouth; M. Warshawer, Lawrence; Clarence Friedman, Salem; and Archibald Hillman, Worcester.
At the evening session the speakers were Rabbis Harry Levi, H. A. Rubenovitz and Louis Epstein of Boston; Rabbi Jacob Sonderling of Providence and Dr. Ben M. Selekman, executive director of the Associated Jewish Philanthropies of Boston.
