Olubs Confer on Ecumenical Council New York (JTA)—Leaders of major national and international Jewish organizations issued a joint "Statement to the Jewish Community" this week expressing the hope that the Ecumenical Council, now in session in Rome, would act to "contribute to the! effective elimination of anti-Semitism and all sources of bigotry and prejudice" for a 'better understanding among all peoples." The joint statement resulted from a series of consultations among the Jewish leaders,.who analyzed the debate in the Ecumenical Council at the Vatican on proposals for a declaration on relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people. During the Vatican debate, many of the 2,500 pi elates attending the session, led by a group of American cardinals and bishops, strongly urged a draft which would absolve all Jews, past and present, of the charge deicitie; would condemn anti-Semitism: and eliminate a statement seeking conversion of Jews to Christianity. The Council is expected to act before the end of October on the question. "A concern with the common destiny of all men is deeply rooted in our spiritual heritage," the j o i n t statement declared. "We therefore note with satisfaction the development of increasingly harmonious relationships among the g r e a t faiths that have engendered common positions and actopms on vital humanitarian issues." The statement a d d e d that, while "the ever increasing contact between peoples in the modern world has created new dimensions in h u m a n relations which Jews have welcomed and in which they have fully participated," the Jew now, no less than in the past" " r c m a i n s steadfast in his historic commitment, determined to preserve his faith and heritage. "It is our hope that '.his Council will further harmonious relationships among the religions of the world in their efforts to seek solutions to the problems of mankind. All men of good will are encouraged by the concern of this Council with the fact that certain teachings of the Church have been used at times as a source of anti-Semitism. It is to be hoped that the final determination of the Council will contribute to the effective elimination of anti-Semitism and all sources of bigotry and prejudice and will lead to better understanding among all peoples." The Jewish organizations participating in the deliberations which led to the joint statement under the chairmanship of Label A. Katz, president of B'nai B'rith were: the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, B'nai B'rith, Canadian Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Committee, National Community Relations Advisory Council, Rabbinical A s s e m b l y of America,' Rabbinical Council of America, U n i o n of American Hebrew Congregations, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, United Synagogue of America, World Jewish Congress, Central Conference of American Rabbis, and the Jewish War Veterans of the United States. .
