An inter-faith student fellowship at some college or university in Ohio was created by the B’nai B’rith National Hillel Commission this week in the name of Senator Alfred M. Cohen, former president and now honorary president of B’nai B’rith on the occasion of his 85th birthday on October 19th. B’nai B’rith adapted the Hillel Foundation movement during Senator Cohen’s presidency of B’nai B’rith and he has been a member of the Hillel Commission since its inception.
