President Roosevelt has sent his “hearty greetings” to the annual convention of the Rabbinical Assembly of America which opens here tomorrow at the Henry Hudson Hotel.
The President’s message will be presented to the gathering of the Conservative Rabbis of the United States. It reads: “It gives me great pleasure to send hearty greetings to the Rabbinical Assembly of America. The forces of religion must be upheld. Now perhaps more than ever before we need the strength that lies in spiritual things. I trust that yours will be an inspiring and profitable gathering.”
