St. John Fisher College, a Catholic-sponsored liberal arts college for men here, announced today that students will have the opportunity to study Jewish theology in a course to be taught for the first time by a rabbi in the spring semester.
Rabbi Abraham J. Karp, spiritual leader of Congregation Beth El here and vice-president of the American Jewish Historical Society, has been named Visiting Professor of Theology by Rev. Charles J. Lavery, president of the school. He will teach a course on medieval and modern Jewish thought this spring. His appointment is the second for a rabbi on the faculty. Rabbi David Z. Ben-Ami lectured at the college in 1961 on German literature.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
