Chief Rabbi Isaac Herzog yesterday conducted memorial Services at the Hurva Great Synagogue in the Old City and prayers at the Wailing Wall for the “martyred heads” of Jewish religious institutions in Poland.
In a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency later, Dr. Herzog appealed to Great Britain to facilitate transplanting of leading religious schools throughout the world to Palestine in order to “prevent dimming of the Torah.” He urged American Jews to insist that an adequate share of Palestine funds raised in America be alloted for the schools.
