What he Is Working For.
Rabbi Loeb has always been strsv-
ing since his connection with the
congregation OF Adath-IzraeI 20 con-
solidate with the other Hebrew conzre-
cations Of the city. He believes that In
this union there is strength and in
creased prosperity. He does not favor
any reform, holding rather that the He
brew should abide by the faith OF his
fathers and not geek to change. For
this reason he has sought to unite only
with orthodox Hebrews.
Another project OF the rabbi, which IA
very dear to his heart, is the building of
new and larger synagogue for the con-
gregatlon Of the Adath-Israel At pres
ent the building on Sixth Street Is too
small TO accommodate all the people on
feast days and solemn festivals. Many
OF his flock are obliged. for this reason.
to absent themselves from their own
synagogue on such occasion and 20 to
the larger cnes OF the city. Rabbi Loeb
feels this keenly, and he has been work
ing steadily since his connection with
the Adath-Israel 10 the end that suff-
cient funds may be saved to buy a suit

It seems that the rabbits desires are
nearing realization. for at congrega-
