Ground was broken last Sunday afternoon for the new edifice of the Congregation B’nai Brith, Los Angeles, California. Dr. D. W. Edelman, president of the congregation, George Mosbacher, chairman of the building committee, and Mrs. Shauer, president of the Sisterhood, were the speakers at the ceremonies.
Rabbi Edgar F. Magnin, spiritual leader of the congregation, presided. The temple will be completed next year. It will be of Florentine style and it is estimated that the cost of erection will be $1,500,000. The Congregation was founded in 1862.
