Israel Goldstein who has headed Many of the worlds most important jewish organizations has remained steadfast to one for thirty five years. It is neither the largest nor the most significant but it has an unsophisticated innately jewish Quality that tugs it the Heartstrings and binds ene closely to the ancient patterns of jewish life. That in a measure explains the faithful attachment Between the distinguished rabbi and the jewish conciliation Board of America. As the rabbi of historic congregation by Nai Jeshurun in new York an upper Middle class congregation for 42 years from 1918 to 1960his contacts with the other economic sector of jewry was limited.

It has settled during its existence More than 50,000 cases that run the Gamut from family crises where children want to marry out of the Faith to litigation involving declining synagogues burial societies benevolent organizations Etc. It answers the question a where shall i turn a for thousands of the perplexed. An observer at a court session is stunned by the emotional turmoil that rages around the lives of so Many Quot Little As you hear the contending parties you cannot avoid making your own judgment and you wonder if the three judges listening so sympathetically to both sides will arrive at a similar decision. Who Are these judges who talk to the litigants informally often in yiddish who persuade and cajole who mete out Justice with compassion and understanding in the spirit of Beth Din the rabbinical court of old there Are three at each of the court hearings a a rabbi a business Man and a Jurist or lawyer. Their decision is made jointly after consultation among them. Many prominent Community leaders find the experience rewarding and mrs. Ruth Richman widow of the founder and the executive Secretary has a Long list of volunteers to draw upon. The judges in the past have included the late Rebekah Kohut the late Justice Max Steuer and Domestic relations judge Jacob Panken now retired who was one of the founders. Recently mrs. Richman received a visitor from Hollywood fla., who wished to consult her now earn to about organizing a jewish conciliation court in that City where he said there were Many disputes and conflicts among members of the jewish Community that they did not wish to air in the civil courts. Changing neighbourhoods have brought new problems before the jewish conciliation Board. Where Small a a Chevray and synagogues whose members have grown old or died must dissolve discord arises concerning the disposition of the monies prayer books torahs Etc. A hearing before the a jewish court is a Welcome solution to their dilemma.

The monies must be used for the Upkeep of the cemetery and for the burial of existing members upon their death and held in custody by a reliable person. Litigants in these disputes come before the tribunal snarling at each other because of their Sharp disagreement. Yet they accept the authoritative decision of the court gracefully and leave As friends. Mrs. Richman estimates that 25 per cent of the current cases that come into the boards Headquarters at 225 Broadway Are in this category. And what of the future of the jewish conciliation Board in View of the shifting jewish population and its changing mores or. Goldstein in his address at the anniversary Celebration summed it up this Way a the East Side of today is not the East Side of 45 years ago. Many of the immigrant generation have died out. Their children Are assimilated into the american environment. And yet the jewish conciliation Board continues to fill a need not Only the civic need since litigation in our state and City courts is still clogged with delays and fraught with expense but the human need for a listening ear acid an understanding heart a and most of All a a the jewish need. Quot yiddish is still spoken but i finishing by but the filling of the jewish need is not Only a matter of language. It is mostly a matter of understanding the a mores of jewish living the patterns of jewish organizations and congregations the Gap Between the jew. Ish generations which often leads to tensions and of being Able to Appeal in the name of jewish Honor and jewish tradition.
