Mortgage at Beth Jacob Under Fire
Sunday, June 22, 1958, corre¬ sponding to 4 Tamuz, S718, wilt mark a successful achievement in the history of Beth Jacob Syna¬ gogue.
President Louis M. I^evin will be joined by his fellow officers, general membership and friends of the Congregation to participate in a special ceremony led by Rabbi David Stavsky, in burning of the mortgage of the new beau¬ tiful religious edifice, the Bais Yakov shul, located on Bulen Ave.
Beth Jacob Congregation was organized by a handful of Jew¬ ish immigrants at the turn of the century. The traditional Ortho¬ dox synagogue expanded, and quickly carved out an important place for itself in the annals of the Jewish history of Columbus. Many families were quick to join the Congregation, and it flour¬ ished as a center of worship and meeting place for the early im¬ migrants. The cornerstone for their new synagogue on Donald¬ son Ave. was laid in 1907.
Under the sagacious and en¬ thusiastic leadership of President Joe Swartz, the Congregation, in 1949, saw the need to build a new sanctuary, in the Driving Park section of Columbus, the then densely Jewish populated area of the city.
At the helm ot leadership with Mr, Swarbt was the late revered Rabbi Leopold Greenwald, who in his 32 years as spiritual leader of the Congrregation brought dig¬ nity and scholarship to the syna¬ gogue and its membership. The noble rabbt whose erudition, wit and warm smile won the admira¬ tion ard friendship of the entire Jewish community, gave selflessly to the erection of the new sanc¬ tuary on Bulen Ave. The Building Fund  committee,

Pittsburgh—(AJP)—Concluding on eight-day conference here, the new United Presbyterian Church made a number of recommenda¬ tions, one of the most important of which was that a greater prose¬ lyting energy should be exerted upon Jews. A commission report to the C!onference stated: "We would remind our people, since most Jews are such in name only, that in a spirit of true repentance for our own mistreatment of the JeW we should take seriously our re¬ sponsibility for winning them to Oirlst, and should be prepared to surround the converted Jew with the community of Christian love,"
