 Temple Isreal of Ear Rockaway has a membership of over a hun dred prominent business and profes, slonal men of this borough and Man hat,an, who resides in Far Rocla- way and the neighboring towns of Long Island the year around. It is the youngest of four congregations that have ,he same. name, the other thr2e being Temple Isreal of Bed ford avenue, the Temple, Tsreal of Far Rockaway Beach and the Fem ole Isreal of Manhattan. The Temple 1sreal of Far Rockaway worships in an imposing new synagogue, which was dedicated but nine months ago. Its first rabbi was Is- real Mattuck, who was elected last January to the Congregation of the Liberal Religious Union in London, the first liberal Jewish synagogue in Great Britain.
 Rabbi Frischi was the only one nominated from quite a list of young men, and his election was unanim- ous.

 It is the second free synagogue in New York. pr. Wise's being the firsi, and is supported entirely by voluntary contributions, and the pews are neither sold or rented. In Che summer time, when most of the sym agogues and churches close up, or at least relax in their activities, Temple Isreal is at it's busiest season, and the temple is hardly capable of ac- cemmodating the large congregations that flock to i:.
