Several hundred delegates, representing the strict orthodox congregations in the United States and Canada, will assemble at the Hotel Ostend, in this city, tomorrow to participate in the thirty-fourth annual convention of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada. The convention will be opened in the afternoon by Rabbi Israel Rosenberg of New York, head of the praesidium, and will continue until Thursday.
Aside from the reports, the convention will discuss the question of Kashruth, or the strict orthodox dietary laws; the establishment and upkeep of Yeshivas, theological seminaries, which have been so ruthlessly destroyed by the Nazis with the creation of the ghetto; help to the refugees; support of general charities and the problem of settling as many refugee rabbis as possible in this country and Palestine.
