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.
