congregation in Detroit besides the
Shaarey &deli. But they soon out-
grew their building, and construct-
ed a large synagogue on Winder
near St. Antoine. Being in need
of a spiritual leader, they succeed-
el in bringing Rabbi Joseph Thum-
in, who had arrived in New York
at the beginning of the war and
had been elected rabbi of a union
of 15 Austrian congregations there,
and who was well-known to the
members of the Beth Abraham as
being held the foremost Talmudist
among the rabbis of Austria and
a descendant of the historical rab-
binical family Thumin of whom
Rabbi Joseph Thumin is the forti-
eth generation of rabbis, to Detroit
no their rabbi. The Isle Rabbi Ju-
dah L. Levin found in Rabbi Thum-
in a close friend and a co-worker
in rabbinical activities.
Then the congregation increased
to more than 300 members and
built a new synagogue on l'almer
and Beaubien streets, at it cost of
about $150,000. At present, they
are planning to build a new syna-
gogue in the Northwestern section
of the city.
The officers of the congregation
are P. Greenberg, .president; J
Rader, vice-president; P. Speller,
treasurer; and E. Reich, secretary.
The board of directors are: J. Ito.
