Famous Rabbi Makes Statement On Centers
Southwestern Jewish Press, December 10, 1954, Page 4
Jewish Community Centers “have brought order out of chaos in American Jewish community life,” Dr. David de Sola Pool, distinguished rabbi of New York’s Congregation Shearith Israel (Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue) asserted last month.
Dr. Pool made the assertion before Jewish community leaders from all parts of the country at the national observance of the American Jewish Tercentenary in New York City,.
The Jewish Community Center, Dr. Pool said, “affords a measure of relief to synagogues. It is no longer necessary for many synagogues to organize their own centers. The Center communalizes all activities formerly independent, competitive and strangulating one another. It removes competitive jealousy. It has brought order into a community formerly distracted and distraught.”
