An appeal to the Vatican to restate the story of the Crucifixion of Christ so that the Jews will no longer be considered the “villains of the piece” was made here this week-end by Rabbi William F. Rosenblum of Temple Israel. “The Vatican can make a great contribution toward the establishment of genuine human brotherhood if it will declare it to be sinful for any of its communicants to use the Bible account of the Crucifixion as a convenient alibi for anti-Jewish sentiments or excesses,” Rabbi Rosenblum said.
