Seminary plans Israel branch for training rabbis
The Jewish Theological Seminary of America plans a branch in Israel requiring American students to spend at least one year in holy land study before graduation. The campus near Jerusalem’s Hebrew University already has seven acres, with the first student housing building estimated at 350000 dollars. Bishop John Wesley Lord, speaking for Claflin College fundraising in Boston, suggested a baked bean supper on Boston Common if the campaign falls short, prompting a Bean Pot drive by New England area superintendents for the Negro college.
