Tor JemisbG Congregations
in Totnns ann Yillaqes.


The Union Of American HEIR .w Cor .
gregattons, made up of about. 200 Re-
form synagogues, has organized a syn
agogue and religious school extension
society and fixed upon Cincinnati as
headquarters. where is located Hebrew
Union Seminary. The secretary of it is
Rabbi George Zetin. A year ago the
first step was taken, in the form of a
committee, which succeeded during
the year in founding twenty new syna-
Gogues. Out of its temporary work has
grown the new society.
The union has in it few orthodox
congregations, although orthodox Jews
have similar extension work. A diff
ference between the old and the new is
that the one just formed has in it lay
men as well as rabbis. A committee
on cooperation between rabbis and
laymen has been named. and it is plan
ned that the two work separately, but
cooperate on general work.
The new society will aim in particu
lar to establish Jewish congregations
in small towns, usually those near to
large cities and into which Jews as
suburbanites and farmers are going in
large numbers. The vicinities of Chi
cago, New York, Boston. Pittsburgh
and New Orleans are to be given early
attention. Within the year several new
congregations have been formed in the
ssrdnity of New York and Philadelphia.

their belief, but at last he thought 1t
necessary to bring them, by some

To those familiar with the authority
