The Union's officers made their concern known in a state- ment issued here. "The right of every religious community to organize oppor tunities for worship and teach- ing according to the dictates of their conscience is a fundamen- tal human right," the statement says. "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that the right to freedom of religion includes the freedom, whether alone or in community with others, and in public or private, to manifest his religion or be- lief in teaching, practice, wor- ship and observance. "The World Union for Pro- gressive Judaism will not tol- erate any attempts to suppress such freedom in religious ef- forts and will cooperate with all Jews who desire in Israel a Jewish progressive form of teaching and worship." The statement concludes. The World Union is the international or- ganization representing Liberal and Reform congregations and institutions in all parts of the world.

Beth Yehudah Plans High Holy Day. Seating Community Council Issues Warning- On `Mushroom Synagogues The approach of the coming High Holy Days has brought about a reminder from Samuel J. Rhodes, president of the Jew- ish Community Council, of the Council's position regarding "mushroom synagogues." Rhodes explained that the position traditionally taken by the Council and affirmed by rabbinic and lay leaders is that the emergence of such institu- tions detracts from the dignity of Jewish warship. Mushroom synagogues, ac- cording to the Council, are tem- porary, "store-front" or "unus- ual quarters" for holding holi- day • services. These services "give the impression of com- mercializing religious worship." Council leaders stated that the basic issue involved is the self-respect of the Jewish com- munity. The problem that has arisen here and in other com- munities has stemmed from the occasional attempt to organize congregations only for the pe- riod of the High Holy Days. This, the Council statement pointed out, also undermines the existing, year-around houses of worship. The Council is sup- ported in this view by the Vaad Harabbonim, Council of Ortho- dox Rabbis. The Community Council state- ment was formulated by the in- ternal relations committee, of which Hoke Levin is chairman; David I. Berris, co-chairman; and Rabbi Max Kapustin, ad- visor. Achim, Northwest Israel and Shaarey Zion. Synagogues planning appeals before Yizkor include Adas Ye- shurun, Beth Joseph, Nusach Harie and Young Israel. Con- gregations Beth Yehudah, Mo- gen Abraham, Young Israel of Oak Woods and Young Israel on Linwood have not yet set appeal days.
