A testimonial dinner to Rabbis Israel Goldstein, Joseph H. Lookstein and Julius Mark, leading figures of the Conservative, Orthodox and Reform Judaism movements, respectively, was tendered here tonight by the American Jewish Literary Foundation, publishers of the forthcoming tercentenary edition of “American Jews–Their Lives and Achievement.”
The affair commemorated the historic unity of the Jewish community in the past three centuries and marked an occasion of unity for representatives of all three sections of American Judaism. Among the major speakers at the dinner were Judge Joseph M. Proskauer, honorary president of the American Jewish Committee, and Charles H. Silver, president of the New York City Board of Education.
