Garibaldi, honoris causa, the degree of Doctor of Laws. THE CONFERRAL of the DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF LAWS on RONALD B. SOBEL Scholar, humanitarian, spiritual leader of the largest Jewish congregation in the world: Ronald B. Sobel gives life to the prophet's dictum to "Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God." Since his ordination in 1962, Rabbi Sobel has not only walked with God but led thousands of others to Him as well. When he was unanimously elected Senior Rabbi of Manhattan's Temple Emanu-El in 1973, he was the youngest man ever named to this most prestigious and influential of pulpits; he continues to serve that congregation today. He has also assumed le~ership positions in a long list of Jewish organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith; the American Jewish Committee; the Synagogue Council ofAmerica, the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry, and the Union ofAmerican Hebrew Congregations. But it is not the Jewish community alone which knows his dedication and his faith, for much of his rabbinate has been devoted to strengthening interfaith relations.
