A program designed to expand the scope of the synagogue was adopted here this week-end at the annual meeting of the executive board of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. The 125-member board represents about 1,000,000 adherents of Reform Judaism.
Measures agreed upon by the board include: 1. An expanded study program for adults; 2. Experimentation, “drastic if necessary,” in the field of worship services so that “reverence will grip the occupants of the pew”; 3. Development of specific techniques for the transfer of religious ideals into the general community.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
