Four aspects of the problems confronting the synagogue will be taken up at separate seminars during the annual convention of the Capitol Region District Branch of the United Synagogue of America, to be held at Nott Terrace Synagogue here on January 13, Dr. Harry Miller, chairman of the convention committee, announced today.
These seminars will discuss the following topics: The United Synagogue, the regional branch and the congregation—what are their relations to each other; the financial administration of the synagogue; the congregational auxiliary organizations—how can they help each other; and the place of the sisterhood in synagogue life.
Conclusions and recommendations of each seminar will be announced and discussed at the general convention. Delegates will attend from upper New York State, Massachusetts and Vermont.
Rabbi Joseph Millor of Brooklyn and Rabbi Samuel M. Cohen, executive director of the United Synagogue of America, will speak.
