Because of the financial difficulties faced by Temple Bnai Israel here, a campaign will be launched under the leadership of Judge Henry S. Waldman to enroll a large number of Jews in the community as seat holders and to register in the Temple’s school, hundreds of Jewish children who are receiving no Jewish education whatsoever.
Should the campaign fail of success, the Temple will be compelled to close its doors, it is stated.
The drive is to begin on September 11 and continue until September 18th.
