and free pew has been organized here
by Rabbi Meyerc \\ inkier, who recently
resigned as spiritual leader of the Sinai
congregation. Rosh Hashonah and Yon
Kippur services by the new community
synagogue were held in the Wilshier
Ebbell auditorium.
"By the term free pulpit ” Rabbi \\ ink
ier explained, "I mean that the rabbi or
minister should be absolutely free in his
utterances by virtue of his ordination. I
shall not be a hired man. Mv ministry
assumes a voluntary character—the ser
mon must be the product of an unshackled
mind from its inception to its crystalliza
tion. By the free pew, I mean that the
people who belong to my church will be
free from obligatory taxation—all money
contributed will be by free offering. My
church will he literally a ‘good will’ syna
gogue. I will preach fellowship between
Jew and Jew and between Jew and Gen
tile.”
Speaking of his fundamental religious
views, Rabbi Walker said:
"I did not change my religious views.
I am an exponent of traditional Judaism.
The rites and traditions and symbols can
not he discarded. Rather they should he
presented to the modern mind in an in
telligent and understandable way—if
necessary those fundamental values of
Judaism can stand a reinterpretation and
revaluation. The God of yesterday must
he interpreted to the man of today in
terms of today.”
New York.—A model Jewish com
munity of 160 families, which will have
its own school where both secular and
Hebrew subjects will be taught and which
will establish a health center for Jewish
children, will he founded shortly on
Silver Lake Gardens, Staten Island. The
community is being founded by the
‘‘Judea Maccabee Association”, an organi
zation interested in the development and
growth of Jewish community life, in
fostering the teachings of Judaism and
the Jewish communal spirit and in estab
lishing a health centre for the younger
generation.
Silver Lakes Gardens, Staten Island
has been selected for the establishment
of this model community because it is
380 feet above sea level. Its air is re
markably pure and it is only 25 minutes
by ferry from Manhattan. A hospital
and sanatorium are among the things
planned for the model community.
The officers of the “Judea Maccabee
Association” are: Hyman L. Tandy, pres
ident ; Cantor Shein. vice-president:
Charles Rosett, treasurer and business

recording secretary.
