FORMS OF WORSHIP.
The OheD sholom, the Jewish con-
gregation and Sunday school at Eighth
and Orange streets, has practically dis
solved and disposed Of its synagogue to
the Montifiore Beneficial Society.
The decision to disband was reached
to-day as a result of a difficulty be-
tween the trustees and between a re
form element and orthodox element of
the congregation. The friction arose
over different forms of worship and
continued until a disruption was immi-
nent.
Rev. Max Rappaport D. D., the rabbi
of the synagogue, became tired of the
constant disagreements, and as the con-
gregation was not sufficiently large to
be self-suppOrting, advocated a dis
baniment. DR.. RappapOrt will accept
another call elsewhere.
