Rabbinical Group.Asks
Friday Night Closings

ATLANTIC CITY, (JTA) —
The Atlantic City Retail Mer-
chants Association was urged
by the Atlantic County Board of
Rabbis to ask retailers to re-
verse decisions to stay open on
Friday evenings which "en-
courages needless violation" of
the Jewish Sabbath.
In an open letter, the rabbis
expressed regret that "a num-
ber of firms" had decided to
keep their stores open on Fri-
day evenings. The letters noted
that many communities had
tried Friday night openings and
then dropped the plan for lack
of satisfactory trade.
The rabbis said that Friday
night openings also adversely
affected attendance at sabbath
eve synagogue services and
asked whether it would be pos-
sible "to try any other evening
but Friday."
"We are reluctant to voice
our collective protest to what
seems ordinarily a worthwhile
decision to increase business
and serve the community," the
rabbis declared, adding that "we
- feel the same as our neighbors
would if the stores would act
similarly on Sunday mornings."
