The Jewish Publications Society of America today presented to the Library of Congress an inscribed edition of a recently reprinted Jewish Rible. This edition, designed for pulpit and family use, was first published in 1917 and contains the Scriptures in English translation of the Hebrew text. The presentation was made to the Congressional Librarian by Lesser Zussman, of Philadelphia, executive secretary of the Society, and two Washington members of the Society’s board of trustees, Morton Wilner and Philip W. Amram.
