Satisfaction with the conclusion of the concordat between the Italian government and the Vatican is expressed in the current issue of the “Juedische Presse,” the official organ of the Orthodox Jewish world organization, Agudath Israel. The concordat for amicable relations between the Church and State in Italy will not adversely affect the rights of the Jewish community in the country, the paper states.

Furthermore, the peace between the State and Church will lead to a greater and stronger Jewish religious life, the paper declares. The admission of the Vatican to membership in the League of Nations will make the influence of the religious point of view more strongly felt in international affairs, a condition which was hoped for in a resolution adopted at the first world congress of the Agudath Israel, the paper declares.
