The establishment of a Dr. Israel Goldstein Lectureship at the Jewish Theological Seminary, in honor of Dr. Goldstein, Zionist leader and rabbi of the B’nai Jeshurun Congregation in New York, was announced tonight at a dinner marking his fiftieth birthday at the congregation’s community center. A scroll commemorating the creation of the lectureship was presented to Dr. Goldstein by Dr. Louis Finkelstein, president of the Seminary.
The lectureship provides for a series of annual lectures by an outstanding Jewish cultural leader and their publication in book form. Funds for the support of the lectureship have been donated by friends of Dr. Goldstein and the Seminary.
