American Jewish Congress, 1974-1977

1974, [1976-1977]. Correspondence with Doctor Susan Gitelson regarding Konvitz's doubts about a conference on the Jewish contribution to the development of human rights. Professor Konvitz explains that such a conference will not achieve its purpose of counteracting the effect of the "Zionism is racism" resolution of the United Nations Assembly since the Arabs have stressed that they are not attacking Judaism and Jews but only Zionism and Zionists (April 14, 1976). Konvitz addressed the February 27, 1977 Governing Council session in a tribute to the 25th anniversary of "Judaism" and to its editor Robert Gordis (March 1, 1977). Also confidential minutes of the Executive Committee; minutes of the Governing Council; minutes of the Commission on Jewish Life and Culture; and various resolutions on national and international issues and on concerns of the Jewish community.
