JULY RUMMAGE SALE
IS HUGE SUCCESS!
Mrs. Isadore Schwartz and Mrs.
S. H. Kottwitz, chairwomen of the
Sisterhood Rummage Department,
report the summer Rummage Sale
to be a huge success. In fact, it was
so successful that their stock is
almost depleted.
Do you have any clothing, china,
furniture that you want to get out of
the house? We’ll come get it if you
call J A 4-3584, Miss Mamie Flaxman.
Or bring it to the Temple and a porter
will help you unload.
There is another Rummage Sale
planned for December; so please,
please, PLEASE clean out your closets
and fill our desperate need.

Men's Club Board Sees
J. C. S. Film
At the Men’s Club Board Meet-
ing held on Thursday, August 14,
1958, the movie entitled “Count
Your Blessings” was shown. (This
is one of the seven movies pre-
pared by the Jewish Chautauqua
Society for showing on television.)
This movie which told the story
of Succoth, was shown to the
Board members of the Men’s Club
in order that they might become
thoroughly familiar with the ac-
tivities and productions of the JCS.
The JCS not only prepares movies
but also has a very active prograi4B|
of sending rabbis to college can^B
puses for talks and lectures on
Judaism. The JCS is actively sup-
ported by the Men’s Club of Beth
Israel as well as the NFTB.

Club. Jack Lapin, Chairman of the
