Rabbis from all sections of the country are gathered here to attend the Central Conference of American Rabbis, which opens its forty-fourth annual session tomorrow. Problems significant to Jewish life both here and abroad will be discussed at the conference, which will continue until next Monday.
Of particular importance will be the report of the Special Committee on World Jewish Congress, of which Dr. William Rosenau, Baltimore, is the chairman. This committee was organized last year to confer with American and foreign Jewish communities and groups upon the advisability of instituting united action among Jews of all lands with respect to Jewish needs and rights.
The urgent need for unity in American Jewish life to meet the problems confronting Jews here as well as aiding the stricken Jews in Europe will also be discussed at the conference.
Officers of the Central Conference of American Rabbis are: President, Rabbi Morris Newfield, Birmingham, Ala; Vice-President, Rabbi Samuel H. Goldenson, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Corresponding Secretary, Rabbi Harry S. Margolis, St – Paul, Minn.; Recording Secretary, Rabbi Isaac E. Marcuson, Macon, Ga.; Treasurer, Rabbi David Marx, Atlanta, Ga.
