The branch located at Or Olom synagogue, 8755 S.W. 16th Street, opened in September 1969. Gary Frank, president of the south dade school, said response of the Jewish community in Miami necessitated the branch's expansion. Some 32 students are currently enrolled in the first three grades of the branch.

He said one of the reasons Christians persecuted Jews was because of the Jewish rejection of Christ as the messiah. the Jews caused it. And the polite anti-semitists would perk up their ears and say look at those Jews in power. It's true, they did this to us," Father Flannery had been participating in a lecture series about Christian-Jewish relations.

About 200 Miami clergymen were at the institute. Earlier he had said some Christians who seem friendly in their behavior toward Jews harbor an "unconscious anti-semitism." He said this unconscious feeling caused "the death of the dialogue between Christians and Jews" when the Six Day War broke out. Christians used this as an excuse to stop talk, he said. "The Christian doesn't accept the Jew because of his unconscious and also because of his historical ignorance what happened to the Jews. "Most of you are aware of Hitler but did you" know that before Hitler, seven to 10 million Jews were murdered by Christians." Father Flannery said were killed during the Crusades.

The Rev. Edward Flannery, secretary for Catholic Jewish relations of the National "Conference of Catholic Bishops, spoke at tffe 20th Annual Maurice Gusman Insti-' tute For The Clery last week.

He said anti-semitism on a large scale could break out in the United States if the country were to suffer a depression and preventive measures hadn't been taken. Those measures, he indicated, are dialogues between Jews and Christians to illuminate truth and promote understanding. New York Newspaper Columnist Max Lerner said here last month that "a massive wave" of anti-semitism could follow an American pullout in the Vietnam War. He said Jews could become scapegoats for any war endings Americans were not satisfied with.

"1 bk i -rwtmmr a 7)tt i jii, 'C What should a minister or rabbi do if he learns that one of his most active parishioners is a slum-lord? The problem exists in churches and synagogues throughout the country, and is the climax of a particularly incisive book by New York's Rabbi Herbert Tarr. Rabbi Tarr will lecture Feb. 21 at Temple Beth El in Hollywood. The sisterhood of the temple is presenting him in their forum series. In the book, entitled "Heaven Help Us," a young and socially concerned rabbi, Gideon Abel, is fired by his congregation after he joins in picketing a slum lord who turns ut to be a member of his temple.

Reno Harp, D.D., told a capacity congregation that they must stand up for what they believe liked Jesus did when he threw the moneylenders out of the Temple. cay that Miss Goode says, "I couldn't rest night or day from them blackbirds up there." The birds have taken advantage of the many holes in the wall to make nests.

Pearsall, immediately telephoned his assistant, the Rev. Robert Boyd. When he arrived minutes later at the church, the Rev. Mr. Boyd said that he certainly could not condone the maintenance of human beings in such facilities and that the matter had been discussed with Mr.

Pearsall. He also acknowledged receipt of a report by the Virginia Council on Human Relations, whose executive director, Frank Adams, a former reporter for the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, had written: "At least three of the city's major owners of deteriorated or slum property worship at St Stephen's." Since the Council's report was presented to St Stephen's on Jan. 23, 1969, and the problem had been discussed personally with Mr. Pearsall with no appreciable effect upon the living conditions of Miss Goode, the Rev. Dr.

Harp was asked last spring why he had never raised the issue in one of his sermons. He explained: "I was always taught not to point sermons to individuals in the congregation." And so in contrast to Jesus and so many of the other Hebrew prophets who were very specific in denouncing the evils of individuals by name, (from Herod to Ahab) St. Stephen's, like many other churches and synogogues. will probably continue deriving a portion of its impressive income from slum rentals And the silence on this issue from the pulpit can provide the wealthy congregation with the most convincing and comforting ministerial assurance that God really isn't concerned with such unpleasant In midsummer, Land O'Lakes country looks like this.
