The New Temple .B'

HE new building of the Temple Israel has a frontage of 78 feet on Monroe Avenue and 114 feet on Gibson Street. The exterior is of Briar Hill stone and rough buff texture brick. The dome has a green tile shingle roof. Rising above the front coping are the Ten Commandments with Hebrew letters cut in stone. The entrance on Monroe

Avenue is reached by the approach of granite steps flanked on either side by two bronze standards. The school entrance is on Gibson Street.

The first floor contains the assembly hall, which is fully equipped for entertainments and theatricals, and accommodating 450. There are also five class rooms, well ventilated and equipped in accordance with modern standards. A large kitchen is also provided. On the same floor is a chapel seating one hundred. This chapel will be used for daily services.

The lobby of the main synagogue is reached by ascending marble stairs on the Monroe A venue side. Three doors lead into the synagogue proper. Rising thirty-two feet above the floor is an octagonal shaped dome, glazed with colored leaded glass. The stained glass represents well known traditional Jewish symbols. The ark and altar are made of oak and ornamental plaster. The pews are of the most modern type. On either side of the synagogue are four large leaded glass windows. These windows represent the eight main holidays of the Jewish calendar. From the pulpit a door leads to the rabbi's study and to the office of his secretary. Directly above the altar are the choir loft, the library and a large Succah room. On the balcony floor is a ladies' parlor, which will be used also for adult study groupl!I. The total seating capacity of the Tempie is over I 000. The con­struction of the building is fireproof throughout. Numerous exits have been provided. All in all, the new structure of Temple Israel is fully equipped to carry out an ambitious program of religious and educational activities for the spiritual advancement of Scranton Jewry.

A Message From Our Rabbi ~

HE dedication of this structure marks the consummation of three years of zealous activity and of untold sacrifice on the part of Temple Israel's membership. Fascinatingly beautiful in every detail, the edifice is a fitting expression of our love and reverence for the faith of our fathers.

The spirit that has actuated us all, was born of the determina­tion to make the Synagogue function again in our lives as a center for Jewish thought and learning, for religious devotion and for wholesome social life. We were all fired by the conviction that the Synagogue, which has guarded and nurtured the soul of Israel in all the lands of the dispersion, is indispensable to the further perpetuation of our priceless heritage in this, our blessed country.

Our new Temple is designed to serve the religious and educa­tional needs of young and old. In our well-equipped school, our chil­dren's personalities will be enriched. T hey will be taught to live the life of self-conscious, intelligent Jews. They will acquire not only wisdom but also what is even more important-a sense of reverence for the sanctities of life. In the various meeting rooms and in the synagogue proper our growing youth and their parents and elders will gather for worship and for Jewish study.

Our building is completed but our real task has only begun. It now devolves upon us a~:-.:;o dedicate ourselves to a more intense and a more loyal Jewish life. Let us all resolve to attend the religious functions to be held within these sacred walls and to make this House of God a beneficent influence in our lives, so that we may learn to sense the beauty of holiness which this structure symbolizes.

May God, to the glory of Whose Name this sanctuary is dedicated, continue to bless us in all our endeavors.

* Our Temple and Its Progress

' HE founders of Temple Israel, and those who have subse­quently joined them, heeded the call of a great many Jews in this city to establish a modem synagogue which would comply with the thoughts of the American Jew and Jewess, and which would be conducted in accordance with the best traditions of Judaism. They also had in mind the

urgent need for the establishment of a modern Hebrew School where Jewish education would be disseminated in a modern system so that our youth may find their way back unto the fold of Judaism. And so they have taken steps to organize and the first official meeting took place at the Young Men· s Hebrew Association on:

JULY 14, 1921

The following were present: Emil Feldman, Jacob Levy, Max Gross, H. R. Halprin, Israel Greenberger, Louis Hinerfeld, Morris Gross, William Greenfield, Herman Suravitz, A . B. Cohen, M. L. Goodman, Samuel Weissberger, David Levy, Albert Rosenberg, Charles B. Engel, Samuel Gross, M. Nagelberg, N. Schleider, Philip Coplan, Louis Weissbart. The latter acted as temporary Chairman.

JULY 21, 1921

At this meeting the following officers were elected: Samuel Wein­berg, President; Max Gross, Vice-President; Jacob Levy, Treasurer: Albert S. Rosenberg, Secretary. President Weinberg then named the following to act as Executive Committee: Louis Weissbart, Chairman; I. Greenberger, A. B. Cohen, D. A. Levy, Louis Hinerfeld, Philip Cop­lan, E. Feldman, C. B.

Our School

~ EMPLE ISRAEL is not just another synagogue added to the

already existing congregations in Scranton. It is an insti­tution with a program and platform of its own. One of the main motives which actuated the founding of this con­gregation and the erection of the new edifice, was the desire to establish a Hebrew School for the proper instruction of

our child_ren. We felt that only by means of a school offering an ·intensive graded curriculum in Hebrew, Jewish History and Literature and Jewish Ceremonies could we hope to develop a generation which would take Judaism seriously.

WHY WE STRESS THE STUDY OF HEBREW

In our school we make the Hebrew language the basic vehicle of instruction. We do not want the People of the Book to study its own literature in a translation. We ;ealize the value of Hebrew as a key to the proper understanding of the Torah and the other branches of Jewish learning, and as a bond uniting the scattered com­munities of Israel throughout the world. In our school, the children are .taught by the natural method of instruction and thus Hebrew be­comes a living tongue to them.

JEWISH HISTORY

In addition to the study of the Bible in the original Hebrew, we teach the thrilling history of Israel's march through the ages. In this way, we inspire the youngsters with • a sense of spiritual kin-

~hip and with a feeling of "noblese oblige" which is bound to influence them to live in accordance with the lofty standards demanded by Judaism.

JEWISH CUSTOMS AND CEREMONIES

Our school curriculum is so planned as to implant in our chil­dren a love and reverence for the spiritual values of Jewish life. Through the special Sabbath services conducted by and for the chil­dren, through the religious emphasis placed in all subjects of instruc­tion, and through the impressive holiday celebrations the children are trained to love the practice of Judaism and to live them. Through the children the spirit of our school has penetrated into many a Jewish home, restoring the observance of the laws of Kashruth, the hallowing of the Sabbath and other soul-stimulating ceremonial practices.

BAR MITZW A AND BAS MITZW A

In our school, we are continually raising the standard of instruc­tion of our Bar Mitzwa boys and Bas Mitzwa girls. We are making these occasions in life mean more than an empty ceremony, by insist­ing upon a more intensive acquaintance with the values and teachings of Judaism. Thus we require every prospective Bar Mitzwa boy, in addition to the regular Hebrew school studies, to attend a special class in SHULCHAN ARUCH (Jewish code of practice) for the period of one year prior to his Bar Mitzwa so that he may learn to carry out his Jewish duties intelligently. Similar standards will be set for the girl confirmants.

WHAT THE NEW BUILDING WILL MEAN FOR OUR SCHOOL

Our new structure contains six large ventilated classrooms, three c,f which can be converted by the opening of folding doors, into a children's synagogue. We have an auditorium ~•;:th a seating capacity of 4 50 for school assemblies and for the presentation of holiday per­formances, pageants, etc. A large stage is provided, with footlights , two dressing rooms and other necessary equipment.

History of the Ladies' Auxiliary

~

Realizing the necessity of co-operation in furthering the interests of Temple Israel a meeting was held on September B, I 9 21 , and the Ladies' Auxiliary of Temple Israel was organized. Mrs. Charles Reis­man was elected president and no time was lost in getting down to work.

The first matter of importance was the ra1smg of funds. This was accomplished partly by securing donations and conducting dif­ferent affairs. There were so many things required for properly fur­nishing the Temple that the history of the organization seems to be a continual effort to secure funds. Rummage sales, balls and readings followed in rapid succession and the untiring efforts of the members of the auxiliary are commendable. The office, the vestry rooms, the library and the Temple proper soon showed the result of this work. One of the most notable gifts of the auxiliary to the Temple soon after its organization was a Sefer Torah. It would require too much space to tell here the other gifts with which the Temple was presented. The auxiliary did not limit itself to accomplishing good work in the T em­ple, many charitable institutions and causes were the recipients of do­nations from the organization. Neither was the Temple given finan­cial aid alone. The organization devoted a great deal of its time to increase the interest of the members in the Temple and particularly in doing all in its power to make the attendance of the children at the services a pleasure.

Mrs. Herman Suravitz was elected president for the year 1923-1924. The most notable event during her term of office was the hold­ing of a bazaar for the purpose of securing money for the Temple Building Fund. The Bazaar was a great success, approximately $1 ,000 being realized. This made it possible for the auxiliary to pay its ple~ge of $5,000 towards the Building Fund, which was made when the drive for funds began. It is hoped the successful accomplish­ments of the past will be continued, and that Judaism will be strength­ened in our homes, iri the synagogue and in the school.
