The recipients of the awards, chosen by a panel of notable Americans headed by Justice Stanley H. Fuld, of the New York State Court of Appeals, were: Rabbi Max D. Davidson of Perth Amboy. New Jersey; Dr. Harry Austryn Wolfson, professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy at Harvard University and Charles Aaron, a former president of the Jewish Community Centers of Chicago and former head of the Jewish Welfare Board.
