A group of leading Brooklyn Jews, headed by Manasseh Miller, president of the National Title Guaranty Company and president of the Eighth Avenue Temple, has started a campaign to raise $30,000 for the purpose of placing a memorial window in the sanctuary of the new Central Methodist Episcopal Church of Brooklyn. The suggestion for such a window originated among several of the most prominent rabbis in Brooklyn, headed by Rabbi Alexander Lyons of the Eighth Avenue Temple, Rabbi Samuel J. Levinson of Temple Beth Emeth in Flatbush and Rabbi Sidney S. Tedesche of Union Temple on Eastern Parkway.
The window will depict Abraham, Moses, the Mogen David, Menorah candlesticks and the Tables of the Law. The Rev. Dr. J. Lane Miller, senior pastor of the church, has hailed the gift as “one of the most significant contributions that has ever been made in Brooklyn’s long and honored religious life.”
