With the sale of the present Beth Jacob synagogue buUdtag now formaUy completed, all at¬ tention will be directed toward two major immediate events.
The latter will be focused con¬ currently upon both the mem¬ bership of the Beth Jacob Con¬ gregation and the entire Colum¬ bus Jewish community, namely with the distribution of the pro¬ fessionally - prepared Memorial Opportunity brochures and with the ground-breaking ceremonies for the new edifice at 1223 Col¬ lege Ave., just south of Heritage House and The Jewish Center. The ground-breaking ceremonies are tentatively scheduled for early spring.
JOE SWARTZ and Julius J. Cohen, Honorary General Cam¬ paign Chairman and General BuUding Campaign chairman, re¬ spectively, have announced that the Beth Medrash, the daUy prayer chapel, shall be dedica'ted to the memory of the six mUlion European Jewish martyrs of Worid War H.
It shall be completely endosed within the walls of the syna¬ gogue building, hexagonal ta shape, each wall of whidi shaU represent one mUUon Jews of blessed memory. No other ortho¬ dox congregation ta the United States has adopted this motif.
RABBI    DAVID    STAVSKY,
spiritual leader of Beth Jacob, has stated that it is vitaUy hn¬ portant to remind all Jews that the holocaust of World War n must never be forgotten. The tendency to forget tragedy is a common trait among Jews and Americans- in general, particu¬ larly if these individuals did not suffer personaUy with loss of life or materiel.
This chapel shaU additionally serve as a deterrent toward com¬ placency for ^ny future repeti¬ tion of what occurred in Europe, whether it be in the U.S., In Is¬
rael, or elsewhere. The rabbi also stated that the chapel for the sfac mUlion, wUl be a shrine and landmark ta the community.
THE SYNAGOGUE has been designed by a local architectural firm. It shaU be of ultra-modem constmction, yet will not lose any facet of orthodox synagogue requirements. FunctionaUy . it will meet all of the reUgious and social needs of the contemportuy orthodox Jew in Columbus. Am¬ ple classrooms wiU be construct¬ ed to serve the needs of the an¬ tidpated growth of the Suhday ReUgious School program.
The kitchen shaU contata all of the necessary implements that are essential for the observance of our strictest laws of Kashruth.
ALVIN SHAMES, president of the Beth Jacob Congregation, has announced that each memr ber of the congregation shaU re¬ ceive a personal copy of the Me¬ morial Opportimity brochure through the maU vAVMn three weeks.
The campaign committee wishes to announce that the pur¬ chase of a memorial is nbt nec¬ essarily limited to a present member of the Beth Jacob, but that the opportunity is extended to past members and non-mem¬ bers who wish to create an ever- lasttag remembrance for a loved one.
PARTICULAR emphasis is di¬ rected to the. past member or non-member whose parents and/ or grandparents were Ufetime members of the Beth Jacob, who may therefore deshre to use this opportunity to memorialize for eternity the dedicated efforts of said tadividuals of these past generations. These persons are urged to contact the Beth Jacob Synagogue, 959 Bulen Ave., or telephone 252-5576, for a copy of the brochure.
