[For the Occident.]
A correspondent, on whom we can rely, informs us that
the new Synagogue, in Wooster Street, New York, under the care of the Rev.
Samuel M. Isaacs, is fast progressing, and will be completed by the
beginning of May next.
The seats of the Synagogue will be sold, as we
perceive by a circular issued from the Congregation, about the first day
of March next, and the consecration will take place as early in May as
possible.
Application for tickets of admission are already
eagerly inquired after, from our most respectable Christian and Jewish
friends, both there and abroad, anxious to witness an occurrence that so
rarefy takes place in our community; and no doubt every effort will be
made to accommodate them; for we are assured that the trustees and
committees are indefatigable in their exertions to make it an occasion to
be long remembered by both Jew and Gentile.
The original estimate for the erection of the
building was $25,000, which will fall short $5000, making the actual cost
of erecting the Synagogue, $25,000,—but, when completed, it will be an
ornament to the city. |
