NEW YORK.—A call to Orthodox Jewry in the United States to reassert the position of Orthodox Judaism ancj, with this end in view, to form a national fc<Icratioii of Orthodox synagoRUes which would bc Its spolccsman and authorita¬ tive representative, was sounded by Gedaliah Bubhck, editor o£ the "Jewish Dailj News" and chairman of the con gregations committee, in his keynote ad dress delivered at the opening session of the national conference of Orthodox congregations at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City on Monday, May 2 0\er 1200 delegates, representing 443 Jewish communities m 37 states of the Union and HI cities, were present, when the session was called to order. A mes¬ sage of welcome was read from Judge Otto A Rosalsky, who issued the call to the conference.
Reviews  Developments
Mr. Bubhck, who was the chairman, reviewed the developments in American Jewish life in the past 30 years Or¬ thodox Jewry has emerged victorious in thp United States notwithstanding the attacks it had to endure from two sides. The attacks, he stated, were directed both from the camp of the Reform movement and by the followers of the radical so¬ cialistic movement. These two parties in Jewish hfe must admit Orthodox Jewry has proven its strength Orthodox Jews cannot iinder any circumstances concede that Orthodoxy represents a party in Judaism, it is Judaism proper, he stated. The speaker took exception to the opmion fostered in certain quarters that Or¬ thodox Judaism is but "a foreign product in Aqierica " He explained that the pos¬ sibility of this contention is apparent. "The Torah was given to Israel not at the Rocky Mountain but at Mount Sinai," he declared
A National Federation
A detailed plan for the organization of the thousands of Orthodox Jewish con¬ gregations in the United States into a national federation which would intro¬ duce new vigor into the ranks of Or¬ thodox Jewry and link it in an organized form with the reconstruction of Pales¬ tine, was outlined'by Harris L Selig, executive director pf the Yeshivah Col¬ lege building fund, the organization which was principally responsible for the call ing of the conference Representatives of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis and of Orthodox congregations have joined in calling this conference, and are partici¬ pating in its deliberations.

SINGING OF HILLEL CHOIR A FEATURE OF MEETING
Over three hundred and fifty persons turned out for the annual Mothers! Day Celebration of Zion l-odgc. No. 62, I., O B B at the Bryden Road Temple last Sunday cvennig They came to¬ gether not onl> to honor the valiant and noble Jlothers in Israel, but to hear a recital of the thing*! for which the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith stands and \vhdt it ha? dtcomphslicd in its eighty four jears of e-^istence The chief speaker of the evening was Rabbi Solomon Rivhn, the newly-elcctcd spir¬ itual leader of the East Broad Street Temple He was introduced by chairman Aaron M Neustadt as "a profound scholar, an eloquent preacher, and an untiring worker m the vme>ard of the Lord" The Rabbi's address in part follows
"In this busy world of ours when business and the pursuit of pleasure claims all our tinie and when famdies are scattered all over the world it is \ ery appropriate that we should set aside at least one day in the year to think of our Mothers, the rock from which we have been hewn and the foun¬ tain from which we have drunk the waters of Life.
According to the Jewish conception there are three partners in the formation of any man or woman, namely, God, "leather and Mother MotheF" given to us by God, to render to us that service aud attention which He him¬ self should have given each and every one of us Mother is God's represen¬ tative unto us. The Talmud tells us of a certain Rabbt that whenever he heard the footsteos of his iviotner, he said, "I will arise to do honor to the presence of the Scheckinah." Thts sent¬ iment expresses the Jewish conception of the respect we owe to our mothers.
Mother is the symbol of the spirit of self-sacrifice and devoted service Who has no recollection of the tender care that Mother bestowed upon us when we were sick in bed? What Mother has been unwilling to spend sleepless nights to nurse back to health her sickly chdd¬ ren? Mother is the symbol of unselfish devotion. She gives herself as ^ sacrifice on the altar of love for her children
"The Rabbis say that our forefathers were freed from Egipt because of the virtue and self-sacnficing spirit of the Mothers of that time How many of us owe our economic freedom to self- sacriJice of our mothers who have de¬ prived themselves not only of pleasure but of absolute necccssities m order to give us the opportunity to acquire an ed¬ ucation which should enable us to earn our livelihood with more ease. They de¬ prive themselves of much that they need in the present so that wc, their children, may have a more promising'fu¬ ture We owe our freedom, our social prestige and our influence to our Moth¬ ers
"We owe to our parents two births, the physical and the spiritual Physical birth separates the child from its Mother. The physical birth we have ifi common with all animals. Man is different from other animals in this great respect, that when the child is born the attachment between the chdd and the mother be¬ comes ever greater qs the years go by. The result of this attachment brings about a new birth, a spiritual unity be¬ tween the mother and the child, and as the years- go by this niiiiy constantly in¬ creases in strength- The child speaks the language of the inother, thinks the thoughts of the mother, attaches himself to„the loyalties and ideals of the mother. On Mothers* Day tlierefore» we should think particularly of the spiritual bond between ourselves and our mothers. The biblical injunction of "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother" does not apply merely to the physical comforts that we can ren¬ der our parents; it applies rather to the respect that we ow? to the personality of our parents. It seeks to emphasize the need of spiritual unity between parents and children."
President Walter Katz of Zion Lodge delivered > review of the history of the Independent Order of B'nai 'B'rith pointing out the various i>lii]anthropic, cultural and civic activities which it has fostered aud promoted. "I am proud of my membership in the I. O. B. B.,** he said. 'Tt has helped to educate mc and to give me an understanding of my re¬ ligious and cultural heritage. It bas taught me that Judaism is life—a life dedicated to the.ibrotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God," ' Mr. Katz. then spoke briefly of the work being done under the supervislQii {Continued on page 4)
