A fund of $25,000 for study designed “to build bridges of knowledge and understanding between Christians and Jews” has been established at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion here by two leading Oklahomans, Erna and Julius Krouch, Dr. Nelson Glueck, College-Institute president, announced today.
The fund will be a part of the College-Institute’s Graduate Interfaith Fellowship program under which Christian clergymen, preparing for teaching and preaching careers in theological schools and churches of their own faith, pursue graduate study at the Reform rabbinic school. More than 100 clergymen, many of them now members of theological school faculties, have studied under this program.
