B’nai B’rith Girls Convention Closes; Training Institute Opened

The search for a definition of the Jew is “illusory” because he is “a member of a group which is sociologically unique and defies every attempt at definition, ” delegates to a B’nai B’rith Girls International Leadership Training Institute here were told.

The only “legitimate question” which the American Jew today can ask himself is “What Kind Of Jew Am I?” and “What Kind of a Jew Will I Be?” Dr. Samuel Berkowitz, Philadelphia area director of the B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundation, told the delegates. The Institute followed a four-day convention which ended with installation of new officers, including Elaine Gilner of Atlanta, Ga. , international president.
