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

considering that inevitably there occur situations in the life of every Jew when the services of

the synagogues and their rabbis are needed and received.

ReCilizing the problem posed by the large proportion of unaffiliated families, the

Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Congregations have formed the Synagogue Council of

Greater Detroit to alert the Jews of Metropolitan Detroit to the necessity for every family to
rally 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 America

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 synagogoue 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
