Suflice it to say that it was indeed most impressive and showed clearly and forcefully how zealous and devoted Mr. Schonthal still is in forwarding his duties as president of the Brydcn Road Temple. In an address that was par¬ tially an eulogy, partially a sermon, Rabbi Jacob TarsliSsh asserted that the congregation had gathered to pay tribute to "a man of God", and one who "com¬ biner in his personality more virtues than any man he bad ever known**.
The Rabbi pointed out Mr. Schonthal's love of humanity which knows neither race, color or creed, and called him "a great American, a great philanthropist, and a great Jew".
Urges For Support
Urging the congregation to support the Temple center project. Rabbi Tarshish explained that the purpose of any Jewish community is the maintenance of Juda¬ ism and Jewish life, and that this can be done only through continued support of their symbol, the synagogue and its ac¬ tivities.
The Rabbi's address was listened to with rapt attention. It also will be pub¬ lished in full in the Qironicle's next issue.
Mrs. Adolph Loeb, representing the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterho<id, and L^o Yassenoff, the Temple Ilrothcrhaod, pledged assistance towards tlic success¬
ful consiAnmation of the construction program as outlined by Mr. Sclionthal and Rabbi Tarshish. Henry Gumblc on behalf of" the Board of Trustees and the congregation paid his respects to Mr Schniithal as "a man of extended friend- .'•hip," and declared "that Uncle Joe does nut let his friendship be known through words alone but through deeds."
Bag Is Presented
He told of Mr. Schonthal's friendship for all Jewish communities in America and explained that his interests frequent¬ ly take him on extended trips to I'arious sections of tlie country. As a simple re¬ minder of the esteem of the congrega¬ tion on such occasions Mr. Gumblc pre¬ sented him with a beautiful traveling bag.
Others who spoke during the course of the evening are; Edwin J. Schanfar¬ ber, Harry Kohn, Dr. Morris Goldberg, Jerome Kohn, M. L. Yuster, and Julius C. Fcibel. The latter expressed the re¬ grets of Max I-I. Riescr at not being in a position to attend the brilliant gather¬ ing on account of illness.
An Impressive Gatlicring
Everyone present felt tbat tliis was the most impressive social gathering ever held under the auspices of the Bryden Road Temple—one that will linger long in the memories of all.
There is no doubt but that every one will lend his unstinted support to the project broached last Mqnday evening regarding a new Temple Center. The people have been sold on the proposition. They are convinced that it is an absolute necessity, -Qnd they will give "until it hurts," when the campaign for funds will be commenced.
