`The New Temple' Formed; Birmingham, Bloomfield 16—Friday, June '17, 1966
Orchard Lake Residents Form Charter Membership 0-w Young Israel Starts Construction
Drawing mainly upon unaffiliated
residents in Birmingham, Bloom-
field Hills, Orchard Lake and neigh-
boring areas, a new Reform con-
gregation was formed this week to
be known as The New Temple.
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Solomon,
Mr. and Mrs. Julian Scott and Mrs.
Janet D. Lynn, who spearheaded
the organizational effort, stated
that the invitation to membership,
which already includes 30 faniilies,
is not intended to pirate members
from other existing congregations
and that the formation of the new
temple is, they are convinced, a
result of a need felt by the new
congregants for a plaCe of worship
based on "mutuality of interests."
"There has been no "raiding of
other temples" Mrs. Lynn said. She
said some of the congregants may
c-ome from other congregations,
but their number is minimal and
they are not enrolling , as dis-
sidents.

Services in Chicago
A meeting of the charter mem-
bers and. those interested in join-
ing will be held at the Unitarian
Church, North Woodward and
',One Pine, at 8 p.m..June 29. The
possibility is that the new tem-
ple's services will be held in this
church. ,
Those desiring information may
call Mrs. Solomon or Mrs. Scott
at 353-3353 or MA 6-1686, respec-
tively.
Although the organizing group
has not yet asked for a charter, The
Jewish News was informed that the
new temple will be eligible for
membership in the Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations.
There is the possibility that
Rabbi Ernst J. Conrad may be-
come the rabbi of the new con-
gregation, but no definite ar-
rangements have been made re-
garding the occupant of the new
pulpit, and the congregation has
not as yet extended such an in-
vitation to the rabbi, who is leav-
ing Pontiac's Cong. Beth Jacob.
It was explained that Rabbi
Conrad "still has contractural
obligations to his temple," but
that "it would be an honor for us
to have him serve us."
