A number of Jewish meetings

leaders of the nation’s 25 major
American Jewish organizations-
attending the two-day biennial,
meeting of the American Jewish
Conference for Soviet Jewry in
New York honored Dr. King’s
memory and achievements at
the, start of the meeting. Rabbi

man for the finest values of our
nation, and indeed for all
humanity.” Dr. King’s historic
speech on the sufferings of
Soviet Jewry, delivered on a
nation-wide hook-up during^
Hanukah in December, 1966,
was re-played at the memorial
program.
A resolution voicing “sorrow
and shock” and pledging re-
dedication to the goals for
which Dr. King died, was adop-
ted unanimously by members
of B’nai. .Zion__a.tiendiiig--,lhp

Norman G. Levine, conference
chairman, announced that B’nai
Zion would plant a grove of
1,000 trees in the Kennedy
Freedom Forest in Jerusalem,

Special services were held in.
synagogues and temples
throughout the country in
memory of Dr. Kine.
Israeli newspapers described
the brutal murder of Dr. King
as the “tragedy of a nation
doing so much to help others”
but unable to overcome its own
problems.

sent by President Shazar to
Mr^. King:
The hearts of the people of
Israel are with you in mourning
the incredibly tragic loss of
Martin Luther King Jr., great
and noble leader of his brothers
and of all seekers for peace and
justice.
“We rpourn him, together
with all whom he led and all
who revered him.”
In a message to President

i Luther King Jr.
“The cause of human rights
and justice throughout the
world is sadly shaken by the
| passing of so fearless a cham-
pion.
“May I ask you, Mr. Presi-
dent, to convey on my behalf
and in the name of the Govern-
ment of Israel an expression of
our most heartfelt condolences
and our message of comfort to
the bereaved family.
• “We are all with you on this
day of national mournine.”
Virtually every Jewish or-
ganization isued a statement on
the death of Dr. King and asked
their members to observe the
period of mourning and after
that to do all in their power to
make his “dream” of equality
among, the races come true.
Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld,
president of the American Jew-
ish Congress, said the following:
“We must weep not only for
the death of a great and good
man; we must weep for the
image of America distorted by
evil prejudice and violence.
“Twice now in one genera-

lives of dedicated and youthful
champions who carried in their
hands the hopes of mankind.
“Martin Luther King, Jr. be-
