- Admin History/Bio
- Monroe Abbey (1904–1993) was a Canadian lawyer and president of the Canadian Jewish Congress from 1968 to 1971.
- Scope and Content
- 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."
