The question of the eligibility of certain rabbis to perform marriage ceremonies under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was taken up at a joint meeting of the Associated Rabbis of Massachusetts and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of Greater Boston, held Sunday night at Crawford Street Synagogue.

A committee of five rabbis and two laymen was appointed to confer with the Association of Congregations regarding the clarification of conditions in the law regarding the eligibility for performing marriage ceremonies. Dr. I. L. Bril of New York addresses the meeting.
