Also Adopt Prayer Book including Prayer on Zion (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Broadcasting of the Sabbath Services by radio is permissible, according to the decision of the Liberal section of the Prussian Federation of Kehillahs. This innovation is justified even if one Jew who is unable to go to synagogue desires to hear the service.

The Liberals have also decided to adopt Seligmann’s Unity Prayer book with the Hebrew text. This prayer-book includes the references in the prayers to the restoration of Zion which was hitherto omitted by the Liberals.
