The 14th annual convention of the Rabbinical Alliance of America, representing about 400 Orthodox rabbis, concluded here today with decisions “to make Orthodoxy a militant and autonomous group free from any encroachment and influence by our pseudo-co-religionists from the Conservative and Reform ranks.”
Leaders of the organization, in their addresses at the convention, urged Orthodox rabbinic and lay groups to disassociate themselves from the Synagogue Council of America and from the New York Board of Rabbis. The two latter bodies are composed of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform congregations.
