Jewish communities throughout the world were challenged today by Label A. Katz, B’nai B’rith president, to back up resolutions of the World Conference on Jewish Education “not by mere words but by acts.”
Asserting that the funds expended for Jewish education by the American Jewish community, the largest and richest in the world, were inadequate, Mr. Katz told the delegates to the conference that this phase of Jewish life “merits a top priority in our budget. Mere resolutions are not enough. We must translate these resolutions into the language of action and implementation.”
He said Jewish organizations and Jewish communities “must be equal to the challenging demands of Jewish education” and he warned that “if we fail in this historic task, we fail not only ourselves but future generations as well.”
