A joint meeting of rabbinical councils has decided to donate 50,000 drachmas toward the cost of repairing the St. Sofia Cathedral, damaged by Italian bombing planes, a delegation today informed Metropolitan Ganabios. The Metropolitan thanked the Jewish delegation and asserted that the gift would further strengthen the fraternal feelings which had existed for centuries between the Orthodox Church and the Jews of Salonica.
