Pictured here is the architect's sketch of the proposed Beth
Abraham Synagogue building, to be erected on W. Seven Mile Rd.,
between Greenlawn and. Roselawn. Ground-breaking on tihe
$350,000 structure will start soon. Paul Tilds is the building's
architect.

One of this city's oldest and
xnost influential Orthodox con-
gregations — Beth Abraham Sy-
nagogue—is planning to build a
new ediface at a cost of $350,-
000 in Northwest Detroit.
Plans for the ground-breaking
ceremonies will be revealed at a
mobilization breakfast scheduled
for 9:45 a.m., Sunday, at Horo-
witz Catering, on Dexter.
The 62-year-old congregation
Will be constructed on a block-
long site, located on W. Seven
Mile Rd. between Greenlawn and
Roselawn. When completed the
building will provide theater
seats for 1,000 worshippers, a re-
ligious school for 450 children,
a rabbi's study, administrative
Pffic'e, club room and social hall.
First located on Winder Street,
then on Palmer, Beth Abraham
moved to its present location on
Linwood and Sturtevant in 1932.
The congregation has been under
the guidance of Rabbi Joseph
Thumim for 40 years. In the
past five years, however, .Rabbi
Israel I. Halpern, now associate
rabbi, has primarily directed the
synagogue's activities.
The landsite for the new build-
ing was purchased over a year
ago in a campaign directed by
Abe Nusbaum. Judge Nathan J.
Kaufman is chairman of the
present building fund drive, with
Dr, Harry Newman serving as
associate chairman and Rabbi
