Bernstein observed that the com- munity consciousness of Israel's crisis and urgent needs during this period moved Jewish congregations to act with great unanimity. He added that the measure of re- sponse to the Israel Bond drive indicated an acute awareness of American and Canadian Jewry of the vital link between a strong economy and survival for the peo- ple and the state of Israel. Approximately 800 synagogues were enrolled in the special High Holy Day effort this year. In addi- tion, many congregations partici- pate in the Israel Bond campaign through special dinners and other functions under their auspices dur- ing the course of the year.

Men's Clothing 126 S. Woodward (1st Wear Sawn' of Maple ow Woodward) Birmingham, Mich. 647-8054 CHICAGO (JTA)—A "large seg- ment" of the members of a new Chicago congregation, organized to "recapture the alienated Jewish young people," worship regularly for the first time since their Bar or Bat Mitzva, according to the presi- dent and rabbi of the synagogue. The goals of Cong. Beth Ami, which was started last January, were described in a letter to the 'Sentinel of Chicago. President Nat Gershman and Rabbi Irving Schrier reported that in the late months of 1969, a group of seven young married couples in suburban Chicago "became in- creasingly disturbed at what had come to pass for modern syna- gogue life" and decided "to do something about it." The families formed a congrega- tion and adopted a constitution which established the principle that all members were entitled to a voice in synagogue affairs. They said that, accordingly, synagogue ritual honors are not "purchased" but are distributed equitably among the eongregants and that "the leadership of the congregation is not vested solely in the most affluent members." "The congregation's goal is to recapture the alienated Jewish young people, and to instill pride and dignity into a generation where disinterest and cynicism now pre- vail," the officials declared. The constitution specifies that "no bur- densome financial obligations be placed upon its members. A most reasonable dues structure has been formulated, bearing that very prin- ciple in mind." They reported that most of the congregants are in the 25- to 35- year age group, with a smaller per- centage over 40. From the original seven families, they said the con- gregation has grown to a member- ship of 115 families. Average attendance at Sabbath services—"without any Bar or Bat Mitzva celebrations or the like"— has been 75 or more. They reported also that the synagogue's adult education programs "have been ex- ceptionally well attended and show no signs of abatement even after the glitter and newness have worn off." The "usual motive" for joining a synagogue—to give children a Jew- ish education--does not apply to Cong. Beth Ami, the officials add- ed, because only "a very small percentage" of the congregants have children old enough to be en- rolled in Hebrew school.
