THAT THERE WAS A friendly relationship between Beth El
and Shaarey Zedek and that invitations were exchanged between both
congregations for important occasions is also evidenced by the fact
that when Beth El arranged its first elaborate religious school picnic
is
1872, a special invitation was extended to Shaarey Zedek to attend.
