Many prominent New York Jews have joined the newly organized “Friends of the United Synagogue,” according to a list just made public by Nathan Levy, national president of the United Synagogue of America. The new organization is cooperating with the United Synagogue for the advancement of conservative Judaism. While the United Synagogue is composed of congregations, the new organization consists of individuals.
Among those who have joined are Samuel E. Bernstein, Joseph Durst, Isidor Fine, Samuel Friedenberg, S. Herbert Golden, Louis J. Moss, Sol Mutterperl, Nathan D. Shapiro and Martin Wechsler.
