Three days of ceremonies, beginning tomorrow, will be conducted here in dedication of the Fairmount Temple, this city’s newest and most modern synagogue.

Known formerly as the Euclid Avenue Temple, the congregation is under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Barnett R. Brickner. It is considered the largest Reform congregation in the country, with 2,500 members.

The main sanctuary of the new temple has seats for 800 worshippers. A specially designed Ark, made of solid marble from the hills of Galilee in Israel, dominates the Sanctuary.
