J.S. Pearlstein, administrative secretary of the American Jewish Conference, has advise the Union of American Hebrew Congregations that the conditions of the U.A.H.C. resolution passed recently at a meeting of the Executive Board were accepted by the Interim Committee of the American Jewish Conference.
“We welcome your continued membership in the Conference and accept the resolution as definitive of the relationship of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations to the American Jewish Conference,” Mr. Pearlstein wrote Rabbi Louis I. Egelson, administrative secretary of the U.A.H.C.
In forwarding the resolution to the American Jewish Conference, Rabbi Egelson stated it defines and governs the relationship of the U.A.H.C. to the Conference. The resolution asserts that the Union continues as a member of the American Jewish Conference. It states further that because in the congregations of the U.A.H.C. there are divergent opinions on the question of Zionism, the U.A.H.C. recognizes the right of each individual to determine his own attitude on this controversial question and therefore refrains from taking any action on the Palestine Resolution adopted by the American Jewish Conference.
