Temple of Israel Congregation
To Soon Open Handsome Ed ifice
Members Have Built Their Own House of Worship
Without Outside Financial Assistance
By FRANCES LIDE
The Temple of the Israel Congre
gation, Reformed, with the erection
of a new edifice, has reached the
highest point of its progress since
its organization about 17 years ago.
Members of the congregation expect
to he able to occupy the temple some
time in the early spring.
The Temple was organized in 1912
with the following charter members:
L. Rothschild, H. Endel, M. Levy, G.
J. Reisenfeld, M. Myers, A. B. Byers,
I. W. Jacobi and David Kohn. Offi
cers that were elected at the first
meetings were Mr. Rothschild, presi
dent, Mr. Endel, vice-president, Mr.
Jacobi, secretary and Mr. Reisenfeld,
treasurer. Mr. Jacobi was made first
Reader and has continued his services
in that capacity during the entire his
tory of the church.
First services of the congregation
were held in a room above a store
on Me Bee avenue hut since that time
there have been several changes in
the location of the meeting place.
The congregation expects, however,
to occupy the new house of worship
in a short time.
The Temple, a handsome building
on Buist avenue, is constructed of
texture brick trimmed in stone and
presents an unusually attractive ap
pearance on both the interior and the
exterior. The style of architecture is
semi English, developed partially by
English casement windows and oak
beams on the inside.
The auditorium has a seating ca
pacity of about 112 and several ante
rooms open off from the rostrum.
There is a Sabbath school depart
ment on the ground floor that will
later be divided into class rooms,
and a kitchen, also on the ground
floor, makes this an ideal place for
entertainments. The lot on which the
temple is constructed measures 89 foot
by 170.
Star Adorns Temple.
The Star of David, emblem that
adorns practically all Jewish temples,
is above the entrance. Interior fix
tures will include two seven candle
chandeliers, one on each side of the
Reader's desk, the eternal light that
hangs above the platform, and a cabi
net that contains the Scroll. The cabi
net is known as the Ark of the Cove
nant and the Scroll contains the writ
ings of Moses, known as tho Old
Testament, the work of which is <| one
by hand on parchment as it is said to
have been clone 5,000 years ago.
The money for the erection of the
Temple was raised by the Greenville
congregation without outside aid. N 0
solicitations were made from anyone
except members of the church. Reach-
am and LeGrand were the architect?
for the building and Edwin Hamby
and W. H. Elmore were the contrac-
tors.
Plan Special Service
A special confirmation service will
be held by the congregation in April
and it is expected that the dedication
services for the temple will be com
bined with this ceremony. About six
young persons are to be confirmed at
the service.
There are now about 25 members
included in the congregation. M.
Myers is president of the organization.
Sol Kingoff is vice-president, Mr.
Reisenfeld is secretary and Charles
Simon is treasurer. Mr. Jacobi is
Reader.
The Indies Temple Sisterhood, th»
local chapter of a national federation
is a splendid organization of the tern
pie. The State convention for thi
society will be held in the city during
April and it is being planned that the
dedication services be conducted while
the convention is meeting in Green
ville. Visitors from all over the state
will attend this meeting, and tho the
date has not been announced, the meet
ing will continue for a period of two
days. Arrangements for the program
which will be both interesting and in
structive have not . been completed.
Ladies Are Organized
Mrs. Jacobi is president of the
Ladies’ Temple Sisterhood, Mrs- L
Fayonski is vice-president, Mrs. A
Volpin is secretary and Mrs. M. Ep
stein is treasurer. Mrs. Miriam Blum-
berg is corresponding secretary.
A Sabbath school, organized in the
Temple seven or eight years ago, now
has an attendance of between 20 and
JO members. This branch of work
was instituted largely thru the ef
forts of Mr. Jacobi and is being car
ried on at present by Mrs. Jacobi. Mrs.
Reisenfeld and Mrs. Bloomberg.
Services are conducted at the tem
ple on Friday night, at 8 o’clock ami
Sabbath school services are held on
Saturday morning at 11 o’clock.
