An informal conference of the leaders of Independent Order B’nai Br’rith lodges in central and east European countries was just concluded here with the adoption of a program for expansion and cooperation.
The district lodges were requested to name all new Kraus lodges which will be formed this year in memory of Adolf Kraus, the late president of the Order.
The conference appointed a committee on cooperation between the various B’nai B’rith lodges. One of the purposes of the committee will be to arrange an inter-territorial symposium on Judaism.
