Construction on a $200,000
educational wing will begin
shortly at Temple Israel, it was
indicated to members of the
congregation • w h o gathered
Wednesday evening for the an-
nual meeting.
- At a victory dinner, which
preceded the meeting, Robert
S. Trepeck, chairman of the
fund-raising, campaign, stated

tional building at Greenfield
and Vassar Dr., Cong. Gemiluth
Chassodim will move a step
closer to occupying its first real
home by the High Holidays.
The cornerstone ceremony
will take place at 2:30 p.m.,
June 26, at the building site,
when various congregational
and communal leaders will par-
ticipate in the rituals.

was organized about a decade

that sufficient cash funds had
already been received to begin
building immediately after the
July 4 holiday.
A sum of nearly $130,000 has
already been pledged, but many
temple families still have to be
contacted by campaign work-
ers, Trepeck added.
At the meeting that followed,
Sol I. Stein was re-elected pres-
ident, and the constitution of
the temple was unanimously
amended so that Dr. Leon
Fram, its founding rabbi, could
remain as spiritual leader.
Previously, the constitution
had required that any rabbi
serving the congregation who
had reached the age of 65
would automatically be retired.
The amendment that was
adopted exempts Rabbi Fram
from this clause, although the
clause still remains in effect.
Announcement also was made
ta the appoint-tient of Frank
L. Simons as temple adminis-
trator. He assumes a post which
has remained vacant since the
death, on Feb. 23, of Aaron
Kishner, who had served as
executive secretary for 18
years.
Re-elected to temple office
along with Stein were Samuel
Burtman and Leslie R. Schmier,
vice-presidents; Harold H. Gil-
bert, secretary; and Julian S.
Tobias, treasurer.
Trustees elected to three-year
terms on the temple board were
Morton H. Barris, Louis M.
Bloomberg, Saul H. Dunitz,
Mrs. David B. Keywell, Harry
T. Madison, Dr. Max Karl New-
man and Robert S. Trepeck.
Harry C. LeVine served as
chairman of the nominating
committee, which also included
Mrs. George Victor, Stanley
Millman, Nathaniel H. Goldstick
and Morris W. Stein.
