The congregation Rodeph Sholom, of which Rabbi Louis I. Newman is minister, will celebrate its 100th anniversary this week-end. The celebration will start tomorrow evening with a sermon by Dr. Stephen S, Wise and will conclude with a centennial pageant presented by students of religious schools and youth organizations. On Saturday evening a centennial banquet will be held at the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria at which greetings will be extended by local leaders of religious and communal organizations.
Congregation Rodeph Sholom was founded in 1842, and is the third oldest synagogue in New York City. It has the unique distinction of having preserved its identity and solidarity in its own name since its inception, never having merged with any other congregation.
