Golden Gate, into the Gotham rabbinate has aroused wide attention. The rabbi seems quite capable of taking care of his interests in the public eye. One observer, after hear ing Rabbi Newman at a recent public meeting, was heard to remark somewhat quizzically: “Rabbi Newman is under study to Dr. Stephen Wise and understudy to John Haynes Holmes. But lie can’t make up his mind whose role he wants.” Now take the case of the Knights of Columbus.
