Rabbi Seeks Enduring Brotherhood At Interfaith Banquet
Rabbi Solomon D. Goldberg urged about 175 at Bennington’s Interfaith Banquet to make brotherhood a daily practice, not a yearly obligation. He urged Americans to apply the spirit of brotherhood to civil rights, stressing living with differences and loving one’s neighbor as oneself, beyond learning about religions. He cited Eichmann’s familiarity with Jewish tradition to emphasize the right spirit in learning. See INTERFAITH Page 2, Col. 6
