Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
MEMORIAL DAY
Digests of resolutions adopted by the
Central Conference of American Rabbis
between 1889 and 1974
1. Whereas, a call has been sent out for an international Memorial Day to be
held
in August, as an expression of deep sympathy with the sorrow of the suffering
millions
in the war zones and as an opportunity for the collection of funds, be it
resolved,
that the Central Conference of American Rabbis endorse this suggestion of the
Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in America. (1916, p. 165)
