Rabbi Albert G. Minda, a past president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and spiritual leader of Temple Israel here from 1922-1963, died Saturday at the age of 81. A former international vice-president of the World Union for Progressive Judaism, he was born in Holton, Kansas. He was graduated in 1918 from the University of Cincinnati and was ordained by the Hebrew Union College in 1919.
Rabbi Minda was active in civil and religious affairs in Minneapolis. He was a co-founder of the Minneapolis Urban League and of the city’s Round Table Conference of Christians and Jews. In 1940 the Minnesota Territorial Centennial Commission named him to the list of 100 great living Minnesotans.
