|. Amongst the resolutions to be acted
upon are the following:
The Young Peoples League is new
organization. Many of our problems
with the study of which special COM
mittees of the older organizations
have been graphing, could be ade-
Quatcly taken care of by the Young
Peoples League. We refer particular.
ly to the work of the adolesccnts, the
taking care of the classes in Biblical
History and Religion in the settle
ments and special schools in the
thickly populated Jewish sections in
our cities. The work of obtaining
Jewish leaders for the Jewish boy
Scout groups and the looking after
the spiritual welfare of the Jewish
scouts in the summer camps might
also be left to he Young Peoples Lea
que.
Our affiliated congregations should
each appoint II United Synagog Day
when the members of the Congrega-
ton. SisterhOod and the Young Peo-
pies Society may he addressed by Il
representative of the United Syna-
gog. who should give n personal mes
sage to the members of our affiliated
bodies. There should ben no attempt to
solicit any funds. The object would
he purely to acquaint the members
grcss of our institutions and perhaps
to receive suggestions from them as to
the expansion and making our work |
more efficient
1t might also be well TO offer def
mite service to our Congregations,
.Sisterhoods. and Young Peoples So
cictics locally. The Back to the Syna- |
Cog movement which was tried out
by the New lOrk BfaHcn ol inc |
United Synagog may be developed in
to something bigger. We might work
out centrally plans for bringing the
Importance of the Synagog, the Sister,
hood and the Young Peoples society
to the minds of our brethren of any |
given community. These societies
might be told that whenever they de-
sire it. the United Synagog would |
Scnd them copies of the necessary
literature, and if they arranged larg-
or function such as special service,
