The year has shown a continuation of progress, states the Liberal Jewish Synagogue, in its annual report which has just been issued.
“Ever since its foundation, our Synagogue has moved on and forward, sometimes slowly, at other times rapidly, but it has not stood still,” the report states.
“That is due to the fact that it is the chief representative in this country of a kind of Judaism which has in it the power of growth. The membership has grown by 72, making a total at the end of the year of 1,491 (110 new members having joined during the year, while 26 resigned and 12 died).
“The Religion Classes show only a slight increase in enrollment. We had hoped for more, but until parents have been educated to realize the importance of Jewish knowledge for their children (and themselves), the education of the children will lag behind. The school has grown by 8, so that it has now an enrollment of 37 in the Sunday Classes and 44 in the Correspondence Classes.”
