The Rumanian government is attempting to prove to Jews in the United States that Rumanian Jews enjoy freedom of worship, it became evident here today. The Bucharest governments official firm engaged in foreign trade is soliciting among American Jews subscriptions to the “Review On the Religion of the Jewish Community, : a publication which was formerly issued once a month but which now comes out fortnightly.
Copies of the “Review” received here reveal it to be an eight-page newspaper, containing two pages in the Hebrew language, two in Yiddish, and four pages in Rumanian. Photographs in the “Review” show the Rumanian grand rabbi surrounded by children who are presumably pupils of a Talmud Torah, a young boy wearing a prayer shawl and skull cap conducting a Temple service, and illustrations from old editions of the “Haggadah,” the order of the service for Passover.
