To America's five million Jews the only opportunity of creating a "vivid, joy-giving Jewish culture" outside of Palestine, Marvin Lowenthal, author and sometime chairman of radio's "Invitation to Learning," told members of the Harvard-Radcliffe chapter of Hillel Foundation at Phillips Brooks House last-night.
Of 16 million Jews in the world in 1940, only 10 million survive, Lowenthal said. Three million of these, living in Russia, are unable to function as Jews; little has been done among the five million in America toward establishing a Jewish culture, and the remaining two million are too dispersed for concerted action, he added.
