With reform rabbis of the United States and Canada in attendance, the forty-fourth annual convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis will open at the South Mountain Manor here Thursday for a five-day discussion of social, economic and religious problems affecting American Jewish life.
Dr. Samuel Goldenson, rabbi of Temple Emanu-El of New York and new president of the conference, is slated to give the principal address.
Other speakers will include Rabbi Sidney E. Goldstein of New York, who will report on the work of the social justice commission, of which he is head; Rabbi Max C. Currick of Erie, P., who will discuss the work of the committee on international peace, of which he is chairman; and Rabbi Abraham J. Feldman of Hartford, Conn., who will lead a symposium on Jewish education.
A feature of the session will be the meetings of the alumni associations of the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, and the Jewish Institute of Religion, on Saturday. The majority of conference members are graduates of these two seminaries.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
