Representatives of over 200 Orthodox Jewish congregations in Greater New York are expected to attend a preliminary conference called by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky and Gedaliah Bublick, editor of the “Jewish Daily News,” which will be held Sunday at the West Side Jewish Center.
The conference was called to consider the program of the forthcoming national Conference of Orthodox Jewish Congregations which will take place in New York on May 2 in connection with the laying of the cornerstone for the first group of buildings of the Yeshivah College of America. Arrangements for the reception of the many delegates expected from out of town will be completed at the conference. It was stated that a plan to organize a federation of Orthodox Jewish Congregations throughout the country will be submitted.
The conference was called on the initiative of the Yeshiva College Building Fund. Harris L. Selig, director of the Fund, stated that the National Conference will also hear a proposal to create an Orthodox Jewish National Board of Education, which will be charged with the task of establishing a uniform curriculum in the various existing types of Hebrew schools and Talmud Torahs throughout the country. Questions of securing a financial basis for Jewish educational institutions of a national character will also be within the scope of the Board.
