Are You A Synagogue Member?
While Metropolitan Detroit has a Jewish population of 25,000 families, 50% of them
are not affiliated with any of the existing congregations. This is a disturbing condition con-
sidering that inevitably there occur situations in the life of every Jew when the services of
the synagogues and their rabbis are needed and received.
Realizing the problem posed by the large proportion of unaffiliated families, the
Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Congregations have recently formed the Greater De-
troit Synagogue Council to aleit the Jews of Metropolitan Detroit to the necessity for
every family to folly to a synagogue of its choice.
The synagogue is the sacred center of Jewish existence. It insures the survival of
our people, for in it our Torah is taught and our moral tradition is cultivated. In Amer-
ica particularly, it is the primary institution which gives meaning to our Jewish identity.
Therefore we call upon every Jewish family in the Detroit area to become a member
of a synagogue. Every synagogue expects its members to assume their fair _portion of the
cost of operation, but no family will be turned away from synagogue membership because
of financial limitation.
EVERY JEWISH FAMILY IS WELCOME TO A SYNAGOGUE HOME.
