"To us of this ge,ileration has

being the founders and builders
of a new congregation in the
household of Israel and of a
House of Worship symbolizing
the new world which lies beyond
the presently dark horizon.
"When the holocaust in which
the is engulfed today shall
have passed, I can visualize our
Temple-to-be; not one which
shall remind us of the venerable
structures of an ancient day in
the Orient, nor one which shall
call to memory the art and the

tectural lines shall speak of
America, of the new world of
which the Jew has become a
part, of the yet newer world
which America shall help to
build, in which all mankind, JeW

See Possibilities
Rabbi Fram, in his report, said:
"During these closing weeks of
our congregational year, I have
seen and spoken to many mem-
bers of our Temple. The entire
congregation seems to be under
a spell—the inspiration of our
Confirmation service.
"In this Confirmation Service
you saw revealed all the possi-
bilities of Temple Israel. You
realized how infinitely beautiful
Judaism can be, and what a bene-
ficently dynamic factor it can
become in the lives of your chil-
dren.
"Judaism can possess this
blessed power when it is Re-
form without the frigidity of
Reform; when it is traditional
without the rigidity of tradition."
Rabbi Fram made acknowledg-
ment to the many men and
women of the lay and profes-
sional groups of the Temple who
contributed to the rich experi-
ences of the year.
