relating to the various activities in which Rosenblum was

and lectures from his 35 years as rabbi of Temple Israel, New
York. The more unusual areas in which he was involved and those
representing a large quantity of material in the collection are:
his relations with Catholics and the Vatican (1948-1967), the
latter of which Rosenblum visited on three different occasions;
Vietnam, which Rosenblum visited with Richard Tucker in 1967 to
conduct Passover services; the Synagogue Council of America, of
which he was President; Jewish Chautauqua Society; Interfaith
activities and the Masons, of which Rosenblum claimed to be the
first 33 percent rabbi. A Masonic apron, presented to him with
his name embroidered on it, has been removed to the textile
collection. Includes much original writing by him, including
poetry, a play, published and unpublished articles as well as
original art work by Shraga Weil for Rosenblum's book, Eight
Lights, a large quantity of scripts for radio and T.V. shows
with which Rosenblum was involved ("Lest we forget," "Design For
Living," and "Crossroads") as well as sermons for radio and
television. Contains information on a Jewish criminal whom
Rosenblum helped to free from prison, and a non-Jewish convict
helped by another rabbi, and material on the problems encountered
by Temple Israel, Lawrence, N.Y. with the retention of their
rabbi, in 1946. Includes information and correspondence
pertaining to Rosenblum's stand on various social issues, such
as: censorship and obscenity, the Jewish relation to Christmas,
and abortion. | | Years | 1910-1968
