The relationship between Orthodox Jewry in the United States and “Jewish philanthropic agencies which flaunt the Sabbath and viclate dietary laws at public conferences and gatherings” will be deliberated at the annual convention of the Rabbinical Council of America, which opened the first of its four-day sessions here today with delegates from 40 states and Canada in attendance.

Rabbi Theodore L. Adams, of Jersey City, N.J., convention chairman, announced that the delegates will also “establish a relationship with Israelis religious Jewry and devise means of securing financial independence for schools of Jewish learning in this country and Israel.” Rabbi Israel Tabk, of Baltimore, president of the Council, announced he would recommend the convocation of a national conference of Orthodox institutions in the U.S. to deliberate on common problems. The convention will also endeavor to work out a “unified program of standards for Orthodox synagegues” in the United States, it was announced.
