other changes are contemplated,
according to Ben Gorge, president
of the congregation.
Founded on Dexter Ave. by
a- small group of German-born
Jews, the congregation now num-
bers 215 members. Gorge said
it was hoped that the change
would appeal to a younger ele-
ment of the area's population.
Two founding members of the
congregation, along with several
others who opposed the institu-
tion of mixed seating, plan to form
a "Chevrath Gemiluth Chassodim,"
which will be primarily a burial
society,Gorge said.
Their right to the name of Gemi-
luth Chassodim necessitated the
synagogue's name change.
For the first 20 years of the
congregation, Gorge said, all funds
raised went to various philan-
thropies in Israel. Five years ago,
members diverted their funds to-
ward the building of the Green-
field structure.
