DECISION RENDERED
BY RABBINIC COURT

Dispute Arose in Congrega-

tion B'nai Abraham of
Easton, Pa.

BOSTON•.—(J. T. A.)—The

conducting of late Friday night

services and consent to officiate in
a congregation where men and wo-

men worship together, innovations

widely practiced by Conservative

congregations, disqualify a rabbi

for holding a position in a strictly

Orthodox congregation.

*."

Such was the decision of a court
of three Orthodox rabbis, members
of the Union of Orthodox rabbis
in the United States and Canada,
called upon to settle a dispute
which arose in the local congrega-
tion B'nai Abraham. The congre-
gation, which is a member of the
United Synagogue of America,
belongs to the class usually re-
ferred to as Conservative. Due,
however, to the efforts of Rev.
Gerson Weinberg, the cantor and
ahochet of the congregation, the
introduction of innovations prac-
ticed by Conservative congrega-
tions was prevented. Two years
ago Rabbi S. B. Jampol, an or-
dained Orthodox rabbi, was called
to the pulpit of the B'nai Abra-
ham. lie introduced late Friday
night services, organized a Sister-
hood, inaugurated a Sunday school
and a daily Hebrew school. In-
terest in congregational activity
sty increased, as did the member-
ship.
Dispute Divides Congregation.

Soon, however, the congrega-
tion split into two opposing camps,
the strictly Orthodox siding with
Rev. Weinberg, the modernists
supporting Rabbi Jampol. The dis-
pute continued for a long time,
until the Conservative officers
were compelled to resign, giving
way to the Orthodox. With an
agreement for another year's sere.;
ice already concluded with the
rabbi, the officers returned to the
Orthodox rites and sought to oust
Rabbi Jampol.
The matter was submitted to
Rabbi Eleazer Silver of Spring-
field, Mass.; Rabbi Natalowitz of
Harrisburg, Pa., and Rabbi Krev-
ski of Allentown, Pa. After hear-
ing the evidence, the three Ortho-
dox rabbis decreed that Rabbi S.
11. Jamnol, having been ordained
as an Orthodox rabbi, committed
an offense by the introduction of
late Friday night services and
other Conservative innovations.
This action disqualifies him from
holding a position in an Orthodox
congregation, it being further
complicated by the fact that his
congregation is now anxious to re-
turn to the strictly Orthodox rite.
Because of the fact that the con-
tract with Rabbi Jampol was
broken, the congregation is to
compensate him to the amount of
$1,200. For entity's sake, the
rabbis also decreed that Rev.
Weinberg is to leave his position
with the congregation.
Rabbi Jampol did not accept the
decision, demanding that the mat-
ter be submitted to another body
of rabbis. The congregation lead-
ers, however, insist that if the
matter is to be reopened it can
be submitted only to strictly ob-
servant rabbis.

NEW YORK. — A plea for
strengthening the Zionist Organ-

Zionists would have to carry the
burden of Palestinian develop-
ment for some months, until the
Jewish Agency is organized, were
the comments made by Louis Lip-
sky, president of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America, on his re-
turn from Europe on Wednesday
on the 5, S. Homeric. Mr. Lipsky
had attended the annual meeting
of the International General Coun-

Berlin from July 19 to Aug. 3,
and several important conferences
of the Zionist Executive in Lon-
don.
Declaring that the sessions of
the Actions Committee had re-
vealed that economic conditions in
Palestine were improving, and
that there are fair prospects of a
resumption of Jewish immigration
into Palestine during own:"

Zionist Organization had managed
to weather the financial crisis
which beset it for the last two
years.

Similar to its observance last

at least one Holy Day address to
Jewish education. A committee

On the arrival of Dr. John Slaw-

within a brief period are facing
the community. Needs and changes
in the field of child care, health,

The work in connection with the

Through the activities of D. W.

UROPEAN JEWRY'S lot, so pitifully and seriously

this country, judging by past experiences, will never for-
sake the less fortunate, whether in Rumania or in Hun-
gary; whether homes are to be built for them in Russia
or in Palestine.

T THE SAME TIME. American Israel must face
problems distinctly its own. We dare not neglect
the existing institutions and we will be called upon
to build new ones. We must continue to encourage the
growth of educational institutions that the youth may not
remain ignorant of its people's story and traditions. The
movement for the spread of learning and Jewish knowl-
edge must continue to niiike progress, in order that the
evils of intermarriage should not affect our ranks, and
that our label as the "People of the Book" may prove
well earned and not a sham.

ND WITH OUR duties nationally as Americans and

internationally as Jews, we dare not neglect our
obligations to the local community. This year we
may be called upon to contribute our share towards the
building of a Jewish hospital. The craving of our young
men and women for a ('enter may at last be realized, if
sufficiently required sums are forthcoming. Our Hebrew
Schools dare not be neglected. The synagogues and the
charities, the Old Folks and Orphans Homes, must not
only receive their usual support, but must be improved
upon if that is within the financial means of the com-
munity.

again bring to Jewry its annually apportioned sor-
row. or whether the New Year has in store for us
better and happier days, days of joy for all Israel.
