The non-Zionist Jews of Philippopolis who have refused to pay the compulsory tax imposed by the Jewish community toward the Keren Hayesod, have seceded from the community.

They secured promises where services for the High Holidays were held. It was stated that they are taking steps with the authorities to obtain recognition as an independent community.
