NEWARK, N.J. (JTA) — The
steady exodus of Jewish families
from Newark to the suburbs has
prompted Temple Bnai Abraham
to follow them, according to Rabbi
Joachim Prinz, spiritual leader of
the 115-year-old Conservative con-
gregation. Reporting that 90 per
cent of the congregation's 1,000
member families now lived in the
suburbs, be said, "The temple
must be where the people are."
Dr. Prinz, former American Jew-
ish Congress president, said the
congregation would move to nearby
Livingston and that an architect
was at work on plans for a' large
sanctuary, a religious school and
other facilities. Until the new
structure is completed in about
three years, services will continue
in Newark, Dr. Prinz said. The
Newark synagogue was built in
1924. Its religious school with 300

pupils was dissolved some time
ago as families with children
moved to the suburbs. In 1955, the
congregation bought a building in
suburban South Orange as a youth
center and school for adult educa-
tion. All Temple Bnai Abraham
religious school classes are now
held there.
The decision reverses one that
Bnai Abraham took about seven
years ago to remain in Newark as
a sign of faith in the future of the
city as a Jewish population center,
Dr. Prinz said at the time. The
temple invested in construction of
a parking lot nearby and in an ex-
pensive renovation of the temple
altar. The synagogue is located in
Newark's Clinton Hill section, once
heavily Jewish but a transitional
neighborhood in recent years which
is now predominantly Negro. The
temple also served Newark's one-
time nearlby Jewish section, Wee-
quahic, which is also now primar-
ily Negro, with many elderly Jew-
ish families living there.
The original decision to keep the
congregation in Newark had been
strongly supported by Dr. Prinz
who on a national and local level
has been deeply committed to the
advancement of Negro and minor-
ity rights. Seven years ago, Temple
Bnai Abraham decided to create
a "community forum" lecture and
dialogue series which focused on
local and nationally important
domestic issues througn well-
known speakers. The temple was
"geared to staying and contribut-
ing to Newark's future," Dr. Prinz
said at the time.
Despite heavy Sabbath and High
Holy Day attendance in recent
years, the congregation's mem-
bers moved away from Newark.

At a recent annual meeting, the
congregation voted overwhelmingly
to leave Newark. Only a handful
of members said the Jews must
stay and help solve the problems
of the urban crisis. "I'm very sad,"
Dr. Prinz said, noting that in recent
years he had foreseen that Newark
would become •a "Jewish ghost
