The office of the Executive Secretary of the National Council of Jewish Women has been moved to 1860 Broad-way, from its quarters at 2109 Broadway. Estelle M. Sternberger is Executive Secretary of the Council.

The office of the Executive Secretary houses the administration of the Executive Committee and the Board of Managers of the National Council of Jewish Women, the Field Service, the Speakers’ Bureau, the Publicity Bureau, Publication Activities and Supply Distribution, as well as the coordination of the program of its local sections in the United States and Canada, and its State and Interstate Conferences of Council Sections.

The Jewish Sabbath Alliance of America joined the World-Sabbath League, whose headquarters are in Berlin. It will cooperate with that body in its endeavors to promote observance of the Sabbath.

Construction of the synagogue of the Shaari Zedek Congregation, West Pihladelphia, Pa., will start shortly following the demolition of the present structure.

The work of demolishing the old synagogue, which has been used by the congregation for nearly fifteen years, started last week. The cost of erection will be $50,000.

The building will not be entirely completed until about December, but portions of it will be finished so that services may be conducted there during the High Holidays.
