MEMORIAL SE RVICE A Yizkor Ser vice will be part of the

concluding Passover Service (7th Day) to be held on Wednesday, April 24th at 10 :30> A. M. in the Temple.

The custom of memorializing the de­parted (Yizkor), which has always ,been traditional in the Synagogue, was added by Rabbi Brickner tQ our Passover ser­vice several years ago and is in keeping with the Rabbi's policy to restore the more beautiful and significant traditions, which were omitted in the early days of Reform Judaism.

All members of the congregation and their families, who desire to memorial­ize their dear departed, are reminded that they may now do so on this last day of Passover as well as at the Me­morial Service on Yom Kippur.

Rabbi Brickner will preach at this ser­vice.

IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH

The greatest value which can ,be in­corporated into any undertaking is the power to 'SERVE. This power to serve through the upholding of high ideals and conscious faith in the ultimate des­tiny of man is intrinsic in a great American organization, whose high pur­pose, expressed in terms of actual ser­vice has been, is and will continue to be of vital import to American Jewry. Yet notwithstanding its manifold activities and the invaluable service it has render­ed for many years, there are apparently some members of our Congregation un­

familiar with its objectives and opera­

tions. I refer to the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and r,espectfully

submit the following. The primary objective of the Union

and its collateral significance to ,Ameri­

can Jewry is readily perceived in the preamble ' to the Union ;Constitution, to

quote, "The Congregations represented

in this Union of American Hebrew 'Con­gregations affirm their faithful attach­ment to the sublime principles of Juda­ism and conscious of lsrael's sacred du­ties, undertake tQ discharge these ef­fectively pursuant to the laws of the country and under the ,protection of be­

nign Providence." (Continued on Page 4)

EUCLID AVENUE TE M PLE BULLETIN

(Continued from Page 3.) At present 28,5 Reform or Liberal Con­

gregations are represented in the Union. It is essentially religious in character and outlook. Having neither political af­filiations or ambitions, none of its ac­tivities, extensive as they are, have any political implications. It steadfastly re­frains from political pronouncements, di­rect 01' implied, and does not engage in political controversies.

When Dr. Isaac M. Wise organized the Union in -1873 he realized that in order .to accomplish its objectives, it would be necessary to have qualified Teachers and Spiritual Leaders competent to serve the respective communities. Conse­'quently in 18175 The Hebrew Union Col­lege was ' founded in ,Cincinnati, Ohio. 'l'he College is generally regarded as the foremost institution of its kind and has 'fulfilled the highest expectations. Its library of Jewish literature is said to be the largest and finest in the world.

In terms of results, the College stands unrivalled for the numbel' of its gradu­ates who have made notable successes in the cause to which they are dedicated.' Nearly 300 of the rabbis ordained at the College now occupy pulpits in the United States and Canada and one officiates in South Africa. ,To encourage co-operation with the Rabbis by intelligent and cre­ative effort in the secular activities of Congregational life, the Union under­takes to develop an enlightened, in­formed and purposeful laity. Thus Lay Leaders, appointed as delegates by theIr respective Congregations, meet every two years in "Council," which is the Legislative body of the Union and its highest Authority. This "Council" elects its own Officers . One of these "'Councils," the XXXIV, was held in Washington, D. C., last month. Fourteen delegates from our Oongregation par­ticipated in its deliberations. In evaluat­ing the Union it must not be thought of as an abstract or remote cause. It is on the contrary, an intimately connected cause, for a member of Anshe Chesed is, ipso facto, a member of the parent­body-the Union. Furthermore, in fair-

ness must not an evaluation of the Union take into account that no one Congregation, whatever its size and in_ fluence can exert its potency far beyond the local sphere? And conversely that same Congregation as member of the Union actively joined with 284 other Congregations for the consideration of problems common to all of them, all these become vocal through the Union as one voice in all matters of common concern. Therein exists the power of combined strength to serve our ~ause. The Union is the principle of Unity in action and amity in fellowship for the perpetuation of Judaism, for the achieve­ment of Social Justice, for the enduring happiness and peace of Israel.

Th1 foregoing was prepared at the instance of our Board of Trustees. Next week on this page, "How the Union Op-erates ."
