, NEW YORK—Many problems deal ing with the interpretation of Jewish law are being studied by a Committee on Jewish Law of which Professor Louis Ginzberg is chairman, and Doctor Louis M.' Epstein, of .^ Boston,, yice-chairman. The committee is one of the standing committees of the United Synagogue of America and is at present preparing. a report covering certain changes which are.deemed advisable.. The report will be submitted to the United Synagogue convention which will be held at the Hotel Astor. in New York on May 19th, 20th and 31st. Following are some ad¬ vance excerpts prepared by Doctor Eps¬ tein:
"In the course, of thc. year, a number bf questions of Jewish law has come before qur committee, dealing mainly with ritual law. It has been the custom of the Committee on the Interpretation, of Jewish;Law to deal at formal conimittee meetings only with matters of law which involved also policy or interpretation, leaving decisions of law on the basis of sources and. codes rfo the chairman. As acting chairman, I availed myself of this precedent and i-endered decisions of law in all cases referred to me where the in¬ quirer sought only information on the accepted view and practice.
"A special investigation, has been under¬ taken by the committee of the problem of the 'AGUNAH', the married woman who, is deserted by her husband. At a meeting of the Executive Council of the United Synagogue, held on February 18, a communication was read from the Women's League asking the United Synagogue, through its Committee on. the Interpretation of Jewish Law, to seek whatever relief may be found within the law for the .'AGUNAH', and the Council instructed our committee to ' undertske this investigation jointly with the Committee on'Law of the Rabbinical Assembly.
."The problem of the" lAGUNAHVis an ancient one, biit modern conditions have aggravated iti Jewish law requires that the husband present hiinsclf-before a court of. Rabbis and authorize them to write for his wife the bill of divorce¬ ment of 'GET'. The court has no , power to grant the wife.a release from her, marriage bond without the consent of the husband. If the husband refuses to grant his wife a divorce, -she' can under no circumstances remarry. The granting, of a decree of divorce by a civil cburt^ to a Jewish couple iii many inst^hfees occasions a .double difficulty ¦ from the point of view of Judaism. The husband, released from any further inaKciously refuses to free Itis wife rio' rematiry according to Jc\yisli law by granting her. a 'GET', The wife, , iinablcto obtain a 'GET* from li6r huS' : biand, aiid being civilly divorced from . him, remarries in defiance of Jewish malaw. The nimiber is. legion of those unfortunate women who are doomed to lifelong misery, because they respect Jewish law and >the hiimber of second marriages of women without a 'GET' from, their former husbands Is appall¬ ingly increasing; Such marriages, ac-, cording to Jewish law^ are plain adultery . and the children begotten are illegitimate. Yet, wc feel that the blame for such a grave condition caiinotbe. placed upon the. men and the women only. Jewish law has a share in -the responsibility for it, and unless our law reckons with the condition, we shall be encouraging further disregard of the fundamentals of Jeivish law, and iH;rmit the breaking do>vn of Jewish family purity,
"No less serious than the problem it¬ self, is the halakic approach "to the solu¬ tion, sought. Just because it involves so weighty a matter, no Rabbi or group of Rabbis will venture to adopt a solution of their own unless It be one to which the leading . scholars of every Jewish community of the world will agree. And tine will readily see how dilTicult a task it is to find agreement among practically alt lhe Rabbis of the world on a matter so sensitive to Jewish" con¬ sciousness as this one. All that our Committee on the Interpretation of Jew¬ ish law, together with the Rabbinical Assembly Committee can do, therefore, is to make a beginning to propose a halakic way out of bur difTTicuIly, and then pre¬ sent it to other rabbinic bodies all over the world. The convention can expect from its. committee,^'therefore, no final report on (this matter until a reasonable degree of agreement among the Rabbis . has been obtained. It will probably take years before the achievement is reached, (Continued on page 7)
Credit and thanks arc due Mrs. Allen .Gundersheimer for thc very .clever way in which the reports of the various standing committees were read at thc final meeting of the year of, the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood held on Tuesday afternoon at the Winding Hollow City Club,

NEW YORK—Replete with dramatic features, and easily the most significant gathering of its kind, the Fourth National Conference in New York City, of the United Jewish Campaign-Joint Distribu¬ tion Committee on Saturday night and Sunday, the llth and l2th. inst., attended by over 500 state officers of this great movement for the relief of European Jewry, gave its mandate for the.imme¬ diate launching, of a new campaigii for not less than $2,000,000 during the next twelve months.
It decided also, that consideration be given to a reorganization of the Joint Distribution Committee so as to Include perspns who have heretofore rendered outstanding service in the fund-raising I'clief and other activities of the Joint Distribution Committee, to. the..^numbcr of not less than 150 nor more than 250 who shall Constitute" the council of the Joint Distribution Committee and from whom shall be selected thirty to serve as- its board of directors or executive committee.
The conference, in the language oif Loiiis Marshall, was the most satisfac¬ tory of the whole scries held since 1925, because the delegates :had the right of way. .
Transferred from Chicago to New York at the insistence of the New York Committee, the conference was electric frorii the time it was open on Saturday night by Acting Governor Lehman, until when at'the conclusion of the final, ad¬ dress by David A. iBrown, the delegaties united in a final outburst .of enthusiasm, pledged themselves to continue their ef¬ forts until ¦npt^onlY.h^d .the.;pledife5r.s.tiU outstanding iii the previous campaign been collected, but until, also, every dollar of the.new campaign had been pledged and. collected.
One of the great climaxes, in a con¬ ference filled with climaxes, was an ad¬ dress by Louis Marshall at the concluding session, after which the tesolutlons-call ing for a, new campaign and also to consider the reorganization of the Joint Distribution Committee were adopted.
In addition, the following resolution in appreciation of (he tremendous efforts of David A. Brown was adopted by a rising

vote when \\ was presented by the chair¬ man of Uk ;ifienioon session, Judge Joseph M. Proskaucr. Jt reads as fol¬ lows:
"Whereas, this conference has, with un¬ stinted adniiiiuion, learned of the un¬ precedented ucliitiveineht of the Jews of the Unilcd SiatLs antl Canada of raising in subscriptions during a single campaign the sum of $U),7(10,QOO in aid of the Jews of other land.s and
"Whereas, they recognize that it would have been inipussiblc to have accomplished so exfraordiniiry a result but for' the zeal, the energy,, the self sacrifice, thc rieyotioJt and the ability of the National Chairman .of lhe campaign, David A. Brown,;.who li;i.s to.a signal degree justi¬ fied' the tnist and confidence reposed in him, ' ¦ r;
"Be. it reeolvod by this conference that it eJcpresses its profound appreciation of his devoted efforts, its admiration for tlie brilliant .success which he has, at¬ tained, its love and affection for. his fine personal, qualities, and its hope that he may be spared niany more years to carry his -useful and humane endeavors to advance the happiness of mankind." ' The following is the text of the res¬ olution; which is, in effect, the mandate for the new campaign,
"Although directly and indirectly, the Jews of the United States and Canada have, during,the past fifteen years, plaqed at the, disposal of the Joitiit Distribution Committee upwards of $100,000,000 f.Or the relief of their brethren abroad and for carrying-on reconstructive work, it has become increasingly evident during the past few years that the efforts upon ;.^ich-j;'..^,:Committee has emtarked must hot "cease nor may they be suspended. ¦ "Although in certaini portions of Eu¬ rope conditions have become less aciite, yet in Bessarabia, Lithuania, and in sec¬ tions of Poland, during the past winter, there has heen dire distress. In the cities of Russia, the, economic condi¬ tion of the Jews is such as to make it exceedingly.vdifficult for them to earn a honorary chairman and chairman for Connecticut; William Levy of Baltimore, Leon A. Baer of San Antonio, and Miss Mary S^chs of Harrisburg, Pennsyl¬ vania. ¦•.'¦::

INTERESTING SERIES
OF LECTURES GIVEN
BY RABBI RIVLIN
Rabbi Solomon Rivlin of the East Broad Street Temple is now giving an interesting series of lec-. tures on Jewish ethics based on the six chapters of the Sayings of the Fathers. During the past three .weeks hu has tallced on (1) "Moral Conflict,"
(2) "Which Is The Way?"
(3) "Life On Credit."
On May 24th he will preach on "Who Is Mighty and Rich?" On May 31st, he will lecture on "Does Deatli End It All?"
All Chronicle readers re¬ gardless of synagogal affili¬ ation are most cordially welcome to attend these lec¬ tures.
¦I'hc slury of H. M. S. Pinafore is at bottom of the story of "The Sorcerer." translated from the village of Plovcrleigh (o flic decks,of a parlor baltleship. The motto — and the catastrophe — of ..both might have been that hollow iilatitudc of Sir Joseph .Porter'.s which with such poetic justice explodes in his face: Love levels all ranks. ¦ Ralph Rackstr.iw loves Josepbitic, the daughter of-Captain Cor¬ coran. She, however, is loved by iione other than the ¦ redoubtable Admiral Porter, K. C. E.,' whose high opinion of the British.Navy knows no bounds until he discovers that Ralph is his success¬ ful rival. The tables are prettily turned. Porter, gazing down upon fair' Josephine's inferior station, had sought to dissipate the proper awe with which she supposedly regarded him by! assuring hcr--"officially"—that love levels all ranks. Well, if ,it can level his exalted lordship down to her, why then can not it level, her exalted person down to Ralph? Particularly when it turns out that the Captain and Ralph were changed ni tbeir cradles', and that Josephine is not a Captain's daughter, while Ralph is no comtiibn seaman?,' ,
The, secret is disclosed hy Little Put- tcrcup, who, as a "baby farmer,"; many 3'ears ago, .was guilty of the interchange of inf.ant5. A secret that Little Butter¬ cup left/ un-solved, however, may well give air good Savoyards pause. ¦ How comes it that of two babies changed ,in the cradle, one may have a daughter old enough for the other to marry? Inany eveiit, the, sudden revelation df, Jos¬ ephine's lowly estate js , as :salt water upon the palate ofthe .'\dniirars affec¬ tion. Trply, love may level all ranks— but the line must be drawn somewhere. Which niflkes one think, of the F<-iiry Queen in "lolanthe" who did' not ob^' ject to stoiitness—in moderation. Sir Joseph pairs off with Hebe; Corcoran takes—rather, is taken by—Little, JButter- cup. ¦ Ralph foils at once the pompous .Admiral and the Villainous Dick Dead- eye, who had sought, on the principle that one should know his place, to thwart the union of the soulful and song¬ ful pair.' ¦
The revival pf this ,famous operetta which is being prepared by the Hillel Choral Club in conjunction' with the Hillcl Pliiyers, will be one of the most interesthig ever seen locally. -Mthough presented hy amateur groups, thc per¬ formance will be of professional caliber. Sainuel R. Goldman, wbp prepared the prograni of Palestinian Folk music which was heard-in University Chapel last year, is musical director pf the com¬ pany, and be will be assisted by a ca¬ pable cast, consisting of Jean Brenner, Manning Cohn, Fanny Shiff, Abe Brown, Zeke F"rank, Pearl Dolinsky and Sol Caplan; a large cast and a-special or¬ chestra.

NEW YORK.—Invitations have gone out from a citizen's committee, includ¬ ing Lieutenant Governor Lehnwii, Mayor Walker, Rev. Dr. S., Parkes 'Cadnian, Hon. Daniel, F. Colialan. Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, Dr. Lee K. Frankel, D.ayid 'M. Bressler, .William Fox,, Rev. Dr. Johii Haynes Holmes, Hon. Irving Lehman, Hon.,Henry Morgcnthau, Felix M. Warburg, i-ouis Marshall, Adolph S: Ochs,, and other leaders in the .civic, re¬ ligious, philanthropic, linapcial, comnier- ciiil .and, industrial interests of the city,, , which is organizing a dinner in honor of David A. Brown, in appreciation of his distinguished liuraara'tarian services and to signalize his becoming a. permanent resident of New York. The dinner will be held at thc Hotel Commodore on May 23rd.:, ¦ . -. ' ¦ '
Mr. Brown, who is president of thc General Necessities Corporation of De- . : trpit, has won internation.il distinction, for the services he has voluiitarily ren¬ dered to numerous philanthropic and pa-, triotic causes, over a. period of fifteen years. -At the present time he is national chairman of ,the United Jewish Campaign, of the Joint Distribution 'Committee for the ameliorative and reconstructive re- , lief of the Jews of Europe, and which since bis chairmanship thereof has raised, ; thus far, nearly $i.'>,000.000. He, is also . chairman of the Board of Directors of the China Famine. Relief .Fund, which is endeavoring to raise $4,0,00,000 to,relieve.
faihinc conditions affecting 20,000,000;
Chinese.
Since IS.tT, when Mr. Brown was called to New York by the late Jacob H. ^chiff to direct the campaign for the relief of Jewish victims of the World-War, he ; has taken active; and conspicious part in fund-raising efforts in behalf of the . Apierican Relief Administration, the Red , Cross,,the Uriittd War Work CampaigK. the United Palestine Appeal, the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Hebrew Union Cpllege at Cincinnati, of whose Financial Board he is chairman, and many other bumanifari.™ educational activities.
During thc coarse ,ot his philanthropic ' activities,, he has.toiircd practically every country in civilization, including Australia . and - New Zealand; imd has visited, every state and every large city ill the United States and Canada. In 1925, after visit¬ ing Paiestine, be went to Russia to in¬ spect the settlement of Jews,- as farmers, oil the.prairie-lands of the Ukraine and Crimea, begun in a modest way by Dr.' J6scph A. Rosen, the representative in that, country of the .American Joint Distribution Committee. Largely because of his report approving their work,..a new campaigii was lauiiched, and the pro¬ gram establishing Jews as farmers -in Russia, expanded, so that today over 125.- 000 Qf them are engaged in agricultural piirsuits. ..
It is estim.ited by friends close tq Mr... Browii that during the past fifteen years the greater part of his time has been de¬ voted to philanthropic efforts. During this period he has been a virtuaL com¬ muter between thfs city and Detroit, his . honie city, where he is thc head of a large niunber of commercial enterprizes whose . annual business runs far into the million's.
Although he is coming here to assume the chairmanship of the Board ot Direct¬ ors of a fiiianeial institution, Mr. Brown will continue. to give close attention to his commercial interests in Detroit.
It is expected that tlie dinner in Mr. Brown's honor vvill be participated in by large numbers of his co-workers in philanthropy in this and nearby cities.

Just because it involves so weighty a matter, no Rabbi or group of Rabbis will venture to adopt a solution of their own unless It be one to which the leading . scholars of every Jewish community of the world will agree. And tine will readily see how dilTicult a task it is to find agreement among practically alt lhe Rabbis of the world on a matter so sensitive to Jewish" con¬ sciousness as this one. All that our Committee on the Interpretation of Jew¬ ish law, together with the Rabbinical Assembly Committee can do, therefore, is to make a beginning to propose a halakic way out of bur difTTicuIly, and then pre¬ sent it to other rabbinic bodies all over the world. The convention can expect from its. committee,^'therefore, no final report on (this matter until a reasonable degree of agreement among the Rabbis . has been obtained. It will probably take years before the achievement is reached, (Continued on page 7) Credit and thanks arc due Mrs. Allen .Gundersheimer for thc very .clever way in which the reports of the various standing committees were read at thc final meeting of the year of, the Rose E.

It decided also, that consideration be given to a reorganization of the Joint Distribution Committee so as to Include perspns who have heretofore rendered outstanding service in the fund-raising I'clief and other activities of the Joint Distribution Committee, to. the..^numbcr of not less than 150 nor more than 250 who shall Constitute" the council of the Joint Distribution Committee and from whom shall be selected thirty to serve as- its board of directors or executive committee. The conference, in the language oif Loiiis Marshall, was the most satisfac¬ tory of the whole scries held since 1925, because the delegates :had the right of way. . Transferred from Chicago to New York at the insistence of the New York Committee, the conference was electric frorii the time it was open on Saturday night by Acting Governor Lehman, until when at'the conclusion of the final, ad¬ dress by David A. iBrown, the delegaties united in a final outburst .of enthusiasm, pledged themselves to continue their ef¬ forts until ¦npt^onlY.h^d .the.;pledife5r.s.tiU outstanding iii the previous campaign been collected, but until, also, every dollar of the.new campaign had been pledged and. collected. One of the great climaxes, in a con¬ ference filled with climaxes, was an ad¬ dress by Louis Marshall at the concluding session, after which the tesolutlons-call ing for a, new campaign and also to consider the reorganization of the Joint Distribution Committee were adopted. In addition, the following resolution in appreciation of (he tremendous efforts of David A. Brown was adopted by a rising MOSES MENDELSOHN" TO BE TOPIC OF DR. L. J.

INTERESTING SERIES OF LECTURES GIVEN BY RABBI RIVLIN Rabbi Solomon Rivlin of the East Broad Street Temple is now giving an interesting series of lec-. tures on Jewish ethics based on the six chapters of the Sayings of the Fathers. During the past three .weeks hu has tallced on (1) "Moral Conflict" (2) "Which Is The Way?" (3) "Life On Credit." On May 24th he will preach on "Who Is Mighty and Rich?" On May 31st, he will lecture on "Does Deatli End It All?" All Chronicle readers re¬ gardless of synagogal affili¬ ation are most cordially welcome to attend these lec¬ tures. ¦I'hc slury of H. M. S. Pinafore is at bottom of the story of "The Sorcerer." translated from the village of Plovcrleigh (o flic decks,of a parlor baltleship. The motto — and the catastrophe — of ..both might have been that hollow iilatitudc of Sir Joseph .Porter'.s which with such poetic justice explodes in his face: Love levels all ranks. ¦ Ralph Rackstr.iw loves Josepbitic, the daughter of-Captain Cor¬ coran. She, however, is loved by iione other than the ¦ redoubtable Admiral Porter, K. C. E.,' whose high opinion of the British.Navy knows no bounds until he discovers that Ralph is his success¬ ful rival. The tables are prettily turned. Porter, gazing down upon fair' Josephine's inferior station, had sought to dissipate the proper awe with which she supposedly regarded him by! assuring hcr--"officially"—that love levels all ranks. Well, if ,it can level his exalted lordship down to her, why then can not it level, her exalted person down to Ralph? Particularly when it turns out that the Captain and Ralph were changed ni tbeir cradles', and that Josephine is not a Captain's daughter, while Ralph is no comtiibn seaman?,' , The, secret is disclosed hy Little Put- tcrcup, who, as a "baby farmer"; many 3'ears ago, .was guilty of the interchange of inf.ant5. A secret that Little Butter¬ cup left/ un-solved, however, may well give air good Savoyards pause. ¦ How comes it that of two babies changed ,in the cradle, one may have a daughter old enough for the other to marry? Inany eveiit, the, sudden revelation df, Jos¬ ephine's lowly estate js , as :salt water upon the palate ofthe .'\dniirars affec¬ tion. Trply, love may level all ranks— but the line must be drawn somewhere. Which niflkes one think, of the F<-iiry Queen in "lolanthe" who did' not ob^' ject to stoiitness—in moderation. Sir Joseph pairs off with Hebe; Corcoran takes—rather, is taken by—Little, JButter- cup. ¦ Ralph foils at once the pompous .Admiral and the Villainous Dick Dead- eye, who had sought, on the principle that one should know his place, to thwart the union of the soulful and song¬ ful pair.' ¦ The revival pf this ,famous operetta which is being prepared by the Hillel Choral Club in conjunction' with the Hillcl Pliiyers, will be one of the most interesthig ever seen locally. -Mthough presented hy amateur groups, thc per¬ formance will be of professional caliber.

Rosen, the representative in that, country of the .American Joint Distribution Committee.
