A school has been opened in Kamenets-Podolsk, in Soviet Russia, The Jewish Chronicle reports, for training “red rabbis,” whose task will be to preach to the Jews in the new Soviet territories in Poland, the Baltic States, Bessarabia and Northern Bucovina, loyalty to the Soviet regime. They will endeavor, it is reported, to “harmonize” Soviet doctrines with the principles of the Jewish religion.
An effort is being made to recruit students for the new school among yeshiva students in the annexed territories, especially in Eastern Galicia.
