Almost on the eve of his departure from Waterbury
to assume his duties dean of the Rabbinica College OF
Telshe Cleveland Rabbi Mordeca Glitter of Beth Israel
Synagogue leaves legacy OF gratitude high hopes praise
and encouragement for members OF his congregation
He singles out the organization of the Mems Club which
under the presidency of Murray Grossman, has made
excellent progress. We will let the Rabbi frame his
own word picture of the past the present and future
as views it in his farewell message 1t appears in the
bulletin of the Mems Club and in part reads: There
can be no doubt that the Mems Club is the browning
achievement of efforts for the betterment Of Ortho
doxy. Our Mems Club is not merely the usual affiliate
organization of the Synagogue 1t is far more than
that It is through the medium OF the Mems Club that
we have begun to negrate Orthodox Jewish life in the
community It is through the Mems Club that the con-
ceptS of Orthodoxy the concepts of Torah and Yesvah
the Orthodox attitude toward Jewish life and its problems
have been brought to the consciousness OF an
in our community who were heretofore completely
estranged from them From this rejuvenation our
Talud Torah has benefited, the synagogue has been
strengthened and Jewish life whole has become
much the better All which has been accomplished is
however but beginning the ground work for the great
and many things that must be done. A Women's Club
similar in scope for the Mems Club is vital necessity
Plans for such group have already been made and the
WomenS CLUB Will be reanty IN our neAI season "
activity. The final goal of our efforts should be Jewish
Day School, commonly called Parochia School, In such
an institution we will guarantee the survival of oul
children as Orthodox jews and then the future is ours
