The annual convention of the Capital District Regional Branch of the United Synagogue of America will be held here today.
Synagogue delegates from Upper New York and adjacent communities in Massachusetts and Vermont will meet at the Nott Terrace Synagogue to discuss many problems confronting Jewish religious life in the region including the strengthening of Jewish educational activities, promotion of work among the Jewish youth and Jewish college students, and the rendering of aid to small communities which have no organized religious life.
An important feature of the convention will be a series of seminars on various aspects of synagogue work, with particular stress on such aspects as the value of congregational auxiliary organizations; the congregation in relation to the regional branch and the United Synagogue of America; and the inter-relatedness of the child, the home, the school, the community, and the synagogue.
Principal speakers at the convention will include Rabbi Joel S. G###en of Troy, Rabbi Joseph Miller of Brooklyn, Rabbi Sherman and Dr. Henry Miller of Schenectady, and Rabbi Samuel M. Cohen of New York City, executive director of the United Synagogue of America.
