American Council for Judaism - Personal, 1947-1949

[1949]-1947. Correspondence regarding Konvitz's address to the American Council for Judaism. The file contains many detailed letters of various peoples' opinions regarding Doctor Konvitz's address and Konvitz's response to them. Most of the letters criticize or applaud Konvitz for speaking before the American Council for Judaism (ACJ) and for the content of this address. Konvitz's comments are challenged as "over-emphasizing" the threat of a clerically controlled, orthodox Israel; and for his stand with respect to Judge Rothenberg, Konvitz's replies explain his position. In correspondence with Doctor Ira Eisenstein, Association Chairman of the Jewish Reconstructionist Foundation, Incorporated, Konvitz explains his reasons for speaking at the American Council for Judaism Conference (May 3, 1949).
