The Jewish Agricultural Society has granted a loan to help the Jewish Farm community of Chestnut Hill, Connecticut, build a synagogue and community center. Similar loans have there theretofore been granted to Jewish agricultural communities in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and California.
