RABBIS ASSEMBLY FORMULATES PLANS TO ORGANIZE SYNAGOGUE FEDERATION
The formation of a federation of orthodox synagogues in the United States and Canada, which up to the present have not been organized in a body, was decided upon at the eleventh annual convention of the Assembly of Hebrew Orthodox Rabbis which concluded its sessions Monday at the Concourse Plaza Hotel.
Among many other notable United States orthodox rabbis attending, Rabbi S. H. Klibansky, Reviere, Mass was selected to serve on the newly-formed executive committee of the Assembly of Hebrew Orthodox Rabbis.
____________________
Rabbi Klibansky was an activist, of sorts, and championed many Jewish causes as well as issues close to the St. Louis Jewish community. He would often write to government officials to plead a particular cause or state a point of view. To the right you will find two letter responses from the then United States Senator Harry S. Truman (D-MO) who was a member of several different Senate subcommittees during his Senate tenure. These letters were in reply to correspondence from Rabbi Klibansky; one communication from 1939 (dealing with Palestine) and one from 1942 (dealing with French refugees).
