Thirteen sermons will appear in the Sermon Pamphlets published annually by the tract commission of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Twelve rabbis have contributed to this year’s publication which will also include the reprint of a sermon for Yom Kippur morning, “The Sacrifices for Judaism,” which was written by the late Dr. Isaac M. Wise.
The pamphlets are used throughout the country in small towns where there are no rabbis, in institutions, and among university groups of Jewish students. Services are generally conducted by laymen and the sermon read from the Holiday pamphlets.
