(A Seven Arts Feature)
Many Jewish books are on the
market. Some are novels whose

best seller positions. Others are
related to the world’s tragedies,
especially the holocaust, the Mid
dle East, the Iron Curtain coun
tries.
In the creative field, in the
area of research, the Jewish
Publication Society continues to
retain a major role. Its supreme
task in the past decade was to
complete the revised translation
of the Torah. Now it approaches
the second phase of that effort:
the revised translation of the
Haftorah of the Prophets.
These tasks are the result of a
dedicated effort to encourage
support for the publication of
Jewish classics, to assure mem
bership on as large a scale as pos
sible in the major non-profit
Jewish publishing movement in
this country.
A new leader has just been
chosen to pursue the JPS task
in tha yeaf — perhaps years —
ahead. This great movement has
turned to a distinguished person

Rabbis Support
IsraeVs Claim
To Old Jerusalem
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Cen
tral Conference of American Rab
bis, representative body of the
Reform rabbis in this country,
has made public a resolution
terming the reunification by Is
rael of Jerusalem as “a fulfill
ment of Divine promise.” The
resolution applauded the Govern
ment of Israel “for its solemn
pledge to safeguard the holy
places of Jerusalem which are
sacred to all faiths and to guar
antee access to them.”
Rabbi Edward T. Sandrow,
president of the New York Board
of Rabbis, called on President
Johnson and the United States
Government to support Israel in
its claim to the Old City of Jeru
salem. Rabbi Sandrow, who made
the request in a sermon, cited the
“exemplary” conduct of the State
of Israel during the past 19 years
in its “concern and encourage
ment for the independence and
integrity of every religious group
within its borders.”
The Union of Orthodox Rabbis
of the United States and Canada
approved and sent to President
Johnson a resolution urging the
United States to support Israel’s
claims to the Old City of Jeru
salem. The 200 rabbis declared in
the resolution that “Jerusalem al
ways was and will always remain
the holiest city of the Jewish peo
ple” and that “a united Jewish
Jerusalem is part of the tenets
of the Jewish creed.”
