THE JEWISH CHRONICLE
Temple Beth El Elects Assistant Rabbi
Samuel S. Mayerberg Will Assume Duties on
September 1, 1917.
At a special meeting of Congrega-
tion Beth El, held last Monday eve-
ning, it was unanimously voted to
elect an assistant to Rabbi Franklin,
the office being tendered to Rabbi
Samuel S. Mayerberg for a term of
two years beginning September 1st,
1917. The growth of the Congrega-
tion has been such as to make an as-
sistant rabbi imperative. The Con-
gregation feels itself very fortunate in
securing the services of Mr. Mayer-
berg, who is to graduate from the
Hebrew Union College in June. He
is a young man of exceptional ability
and has made a brilliant record as a
student.
Samuel Spier Mayerberg, son of
Rabbi and Mrs. Julius L. Mayerberg,
was born at Goldsboro, N. C., May
6th, 1892. He attended the public
schools of his native city and entered
the Hebrew Union College and the
University of Cincinnati in September,
1908. From these two institutions he
has received the degrees of Bachelor
of Hebrew, Bachelor of Arts, and
Master of Arts. For the past three
years he has held the position of grad-
uate assistant in the Department of
Political and Social Science at the
University of Cincinnati, and singe
1912 he has taught civics to foreigners
in the night schools of the Cincinnati
public schools. For the past two
years, while a student at the college,
lie has officiated on Sabbaths for the
congregation at Huntington, W. Va.,
and has also served communities at

the conclusion of which the Jewish
Student Congregation of Cornell was
organized.
At the afternoon's service, which
was held in the trophy room of
Barnes hall, the committee had pre-
pared for an attendance of about 50
students. To the committee's sur-
prise the trophy room was crowded
with more than 100 men and women.
The service written for the Jewish
Student Congregation of the Univer-
sity of Michigan was used. A string
quartet, with piano accompaniment,
composed of Jewish men in the uni-
versity orchestra, aided in the congre-
gational singing of the Hebrew re-
sponses and .the hymns.
The theme of Rabbi Landman's
sermon was "A Square Deal for Juda-
ism," and at the conclusion of the
service 87 of the men and women pres-
ent signified their intention of becom-
ing active members of the Jewish
Student Congregation of Cornell and
contributing to its support, by sign-
ing cards distributed for that pur-
pose.
The next service of this new con-
gregation will be held in Barnes hall
on Sunday afternoon, April 29. Rabbi
Louis J. Kopald, of Buffalo, has been
invited to conduct the service and
preach the sermon.
