James N. Rosenberg, noted Jewish leader who was for many years active in the Joint Distribution Committee, the American Jewish Committee and other national Jewish organizations, celebrated his 80th birthday yesterday by giving $5,000 toward his own birthday gift.
Mr. Rosenberg’s birthday gift, suggested by his friends, will be a fund to be used to further the work of the World Brotherhood, an organization aiming of foster racial and religious tolerance. Specifically, it will be used “to bring together men and women of varying races, religious and countries of origin in the belief that a frank round-table discussion is the best way to relieve tensions and reduce prejudices.”
