SO, We will keep the Synagog what
| II has always been, n place of worship;
the shrine of the spirit: the home of
Jewish nurture; school of instruc-
tion fount of Inspiration: the meet
ing place of man and man and the
meeting place of God and man.
We are fortunate in having been
made to feel that as living organism
CT the Synagog. we have n further
duty-to he watchfully responsive to
the opportunities of service which the
movements Of civil society provide.
and this opportunity we are grasp
ing. Underli1g it are ideals of broth
crhood. liberty and mutual justice and
help.
Among the various facilities We nj
ready have. is a spacious hall for So
cinlS of all kinds, an ample stage for
dramatics. n moving picture machine,
fine vestry rooms for meetings. and
great possibilities in the Bessie l. Rude
Community Center building. We hope
some day that the rooms will be prop
erly furnished for the various clubs as
there is a great need of this. We
have thirty TO forty meetings each
month, more than four hundred meet
ings year and / am quite sure that
even this attendance would be greatly
increased If the building Were, enlarg-
ed and properly equipped. And then
again we feel the necessity of Social
Secretary and we earnestly hope that
before long. this urgent need will be
met. Also. hope to have a gymnasium
very soon because of the great variety
of activities in this direction the
gymnasium is one of growing popu-
iarity and Importance.
The Social Hour following the Fri
day night services gives our members
Il chance to make new acquaintance
and visit with old friends. There
seems to be u predominating note OF
mutual fellowship and warmth among
our members and we feel that this is
very appropriate way in ending our
Friday night services
The Junior Auxiliary has done con-
siderable organization work this year
and the results have been most graft
flying. having started only few
months ago. l shall mention some of
the activities of the Junior Auxiliary
to give you an idea of what they are
doing.
The Junior Auxiliary consists OF
cles meet as body the third Monday
Of each month. Each circle has
leader who is efficient in the particular
type of interest of that circle. For
instance. our Social Service Circle.
under the leadership of Mrs. Ray
David. meets the second Monday OF
every month, for the purpose OF
studying Community Problems. Mrs.
David arrnnges for speakers to come
from the various institutions. to out
line the type of work they do. At our
last meeting MISS Florence Hutsin-
pillar. who is executive secretary OF
the City Board of Charities. addressed
the circle on case work. Then gen
eral discussion followed. Judge Lind
sey spoke last April 10. on Delin-
quincy and SO. in this way, at each
meeting a different phase of ccmmun-
ity work will he taken up so as to
acuuaint us with the work and prob
lens of our relief bureaus, dispeaS-
aries. employment agencies. juvenile
court. and various other public insti-
tutiOns.
Thus is our Synagog a center which
makes study of community condi-
tions. When we will know and under
stand the needs of our community, we
will realize that our duties as citizens
are as broad as our privileges.
The Bible Study Circle under the
leadership of DIR. Kauvar is very in
teresting. They are studying the Book
of Job from a Literary and PyscholoS-
ical point of view.
The dramatic circle meets every
Thursday night and consists of eight
ccn members. all of whom are cast in
the play which will be given May

Judging from rehearsals. promises to
be n highly artistic production. As
far as we know now, Mr.. Horace
I'ureman well known composer and di-
rector is going to have charge of the
musical features in the play.
