Non-Members Contribute To City-Wide Agudath Achim Building Campaign
. Louis Ruben, Chairman ot the Agudath Achlm New Building Campaign, received a contribu¬ tion this week from a public spirited citizen in Columbus who, although not a member of Agudath Achlm, considered a duty and a privilege as a Jew, to do his bit towards such a worthy effort. By doing so, he said, it would encourage others to dojj^ikewlse. The contributor, whose name was not revealed, staled in his letter that his fam' iiy had been tax!ed heavily with other local contributions. How¬ ever, he stated, for so deserving a causi and for the tine contri¬ butions this oldest Jewish orth. odox congregation has made to Columbus Jewish communal Ute, I am enclosing a signed pledge card.
That the present drive tor a modern structure in Bexley should not only receive the wholehearted support ot the membership of Agudath Achlm, but by the entire tjommoinity as well, was stressed by A, A. Wol¬ man, president. In a statement to the Chronicie this week Mr, Wolman said:
"Despite the advances and the progress ot the past 40 years, the organization .governing the Agudath Achlm Synagogue is aware that changes are taking place In our community.n There is a clamoring demand tor in¬ creased facilities for worship and the education of children, A Synagogue, as any other pub¬ lic   Institution,   must   plan  for
greater calls on its services.
But the present structure of Agudath.Achlm has outlived its satisfactory usefulness to the members and to the community Services are overcrowded and the physical equipment Is In¬ sufficient to meet the require¬ ments of the younger genera¬ tion.
"With, these facts in mind, the members, board ot directors and officers of the Congrega¬ tion, have turned their faces to ward the future. They believe that 0^ their new site In Bex¬ ley they can build a structure that will be a credit to the Jew-' ish community and at the same time fill the needs of a growing Jewish population East and in Bexley.
To Maintain Its Work
"Blending the hallowed tra ditions of the past with the pro¬ gram of this new generation, Agudath Achim will again be In the vangiard tb serve the ul timate good of the community Through forty yqars more, and yet another forty, It will contin¬ ue to maintain its vital share in the network ot Columbus' Syna¬ gogues and Temples."
