The Board of Trustees of the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture approved an allocation of $1,367,000 for a variety of cultural programs in more than 15 countries at its annual meeting here last week. These programs include doctoral scholarships to prepare future scholars, teachers and rabbis; fellowships to aid and encourage research scholars, writers and artists; support for special training programs for rabbis, educators and Jewish communal workers; and allocations for programs to document and commemorate the Holocaust.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann was re-elected Foundation president and Dr. Solomon Goon and Philip M. Klutznick were elected vice-presidents. The Foundation’s board comprises representatives of 48 international and national Jewish cultural and religious organizations which reflect all the major trends in contemporary Jewish life.
