The hope that Israel will “look favorably” on Liberal Judaism and its institutions, especially its schools, was expressed in a resolution adopted at the sixth international conference of the World Union for Progressive Judaism which was today presented to Dr. Mordecai Eliash, Israeli Minister to Britain, by a delegation from the Union.

The delegation told the Minister that they were greatly interested in Israel and its cultural and religious development. They added that they hoped that a way would be found to guarantee religious freedom and that conscience of worship would be granted as a right to all shades of Jewish religious opinion. Dr. Eliash received the delegation sympathetically and promised to submit its message to Tel Aviv.
