JEWISH AUTHORITY WILL ADDRESS THEOLOGIANS

Rabbi Levi is First of Sect to Speak At Theological School--Topic is "Judaism"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Rabbi Harry Levi of the Temple Israel synagogue in Boston has been selected as the first Jewish authority to lecture to Harvard theological students since the Theological School was founded nearly three centuries ago. The Reverend W. L. Sperry, dean of the Theological School, yesterday requested Rabbi Levi to talk to the students during one week in June, preferably on the subject of Judaism.

Rabbi Levi has lead the Adath Israel congregation, one of the largest and most influential in Boston, for 20 years. He came to Boston from Wheeling, West Virginia, where he had served as leader of the Jewish community after being ordained as a rabbi directly on graduating from the Hebrew Union College. Besides his researches in Jewish theology he is recognized as an authority on Hebraic history and literature. In 1899 he published an authoritative volume on "Jewish Characters in Fiction."
