- Item consists of a recording of Ben Kayfetz's segment. He talks about an upcoming event being held on 14 December 1987, at 8 pm, at the Lipa Green Centre. The event was promoted by the Community Relations Committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress and consisted of a discussion on how to handle the reading and study of controversial texts in Jewish schools, works that are considered literary classics but reflect prejudices and misconceptions that prevailed in the time of their writing, such as "The Merchant of Venice," "Oliver Twist," and "Huckleberry Finn." Panelists were Enid Lee (Supervisor of Race and Ethnic Relations at the North York Board of Education), Barbara Aggerholm (a journalist of the Kitchener-Waterloo Record), and a parent from Waterloo [name unintelligible], where this had been a recurrent and divisive issue. He also briefly talks about the return of Max Rosenfeld to Toronto, after having made Aliyah thirty years prior in order to join the Foreign Service. Rosenfeld was to serve as the new director of the Toronto office of Boys Town Jerusalem. Finally, he discusses the libel award against B'nai B'rith in Winnipeg, which he considers disturbing.

- Item is a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Monroe Abbey, QC, from B. G. Kayfetz. In the letter, Kayfetz clarifies "the relationship and status of the [United Jewish People's Order] to the Jewish community and to the Canadian Jewish Congress in particular." The letter also addresses an allegation that "Ben Kayfetz has instructed all B'nai B'rith lodges not to rent space in the Morris Winchevsky Centre." Kayfetz denies this claim. The final subject to be addressed in the letter is UJPO's "relationship to [the] USSR and Communism."

- Admin History/Bio
- Monroe Abbey (1904–1993) was a Canadian lawyer and president of the Canadian Jewish Congress from 1968 to 1971.
- Jack Cowan was a founder of the Canadian Jewish Outlook and former president of the United Jewish People's Order.
- Scope and Content
- Item is a copy of a letter sent to Monroe Abbey, QC, from Jack Cowan, the national president of the United Jewish People's Order (UJPO). In the letter, Cowan takes issue with an article that appeared in the Toronto Telegram on 6 May 1969, in which it was claimed UJPO "was expelled from the Canadian Jewish Congress in 1951 because it felt it was communist-oriented." The same article then went on to cite Benjamin Kayfetz to the effect that UJPO was "a communist front organization." Cowan offers his own description of UJPO, highlights its contributions to Israel, and makes the allegation that Kayfetz had "instructed" B'nai B'rith chapters and lodges to "refrain from meeting in our Toronto Centre."
