Four young rabbis were ordained here yesterday after graduation from the Rabbinical College of Rome. The event was considered significant here in view of the shortage of rabbis in this country.

The graduates passed their examinations last week. The board of examiners consisted of Professor Elio Toaff, chief rabbi of Italy; Professor Elias Arton, of Jerusalem; Dr. Aldo Luzzatto, of Genoa; and Dr. Kurt Arndt, of this city.
