More than 250 representatives of Judaism and the Catholic and Protestant Churches met here at the 22nd annual Institute for Judaism, at Temple Emanu-El, forming a community-wide organization for the cementing of good will and understanding among the three major religious faiths.
Rabbi Harry I. Stern, spiritual leader of Temple Emanu-El, presided at the conference. The Emanu-El congregation celebrated, at the same time, its 80th anniversary. In one of the major addresses at the conference, Rabbi Stern greeted the Christian and Jewish clergymen and lay leaders present, pointing out that, in this atomic era, it is more urgent than ever for all faiths to work together for the welfare of mankind.
