`Back to Synagogue' Movement Aims
at One-Third of Unaffiliated Jewry
NEW YORK (JTA) — There
are today 4,079 synagogues in
the United States with a mem-
bership of 5,500,000, accordOg
to data on religion published
by the National Council of
Churches in its 1956 Yearbook,
to be released on Sept, 15.
The Council defines as members
Of - :the Jewish faith all Jews
Who live in communities which
have congregations.
The data published by the
National Council of Churches
does not coincide with data
released by the Synagogue
Council of America to the effect
that of the 5,500,000 Jews in
the United States there are
some 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 Jews
who have no affiliation with
Jewish religious life and are
not members of any synagogue
or temple.
This figure is similar to the
,,proportion of American Chris-
tians affiliated with Protestant
and Catholic churches. Accord-
ing to the National Council of
Churches, only two out of every
three Americans are affiliated
with some religious denomina-
tion.
