ewish association
conducting survey

An extensive survey of all
Jewish families living in
North and West Vancouver
will soon be conducted by
the North Shore’s only
Jewish congregation.

During the week begin-
ning April 27, members of
the North Shore Jewish
Community Association will
be telephoning as many
Jewish families as possible
on the North Shore, asking
them tO answer a compre-
hensive questionnaire on
their interests, and their
social, educational and
religious needs.

Based on these answers,
the association plans to
formulate a program that
will serve the majority of
North Shore Jewish families’
requirements.

The survey comes at a
turning point in the
association's history: Not
only has its membership
increased sharply in recent
months, but members are
showing greater community
awareness. The impending
merger of the association
with the North Shore
Hebrew School will also lead

are doing their planning
early, the North Shore

to increased youth activities
within the association.

Founded in January 1974,
the association began as a
small group on the North
Shore. Their first premises
were a small ranclier-type
house in West Vancouver,
converted into a synagogue
by hard work and dedication
of the members themselves.

At the first High Holiday
services, the congregation
had to borrow a Sefer Torah
(scroll containing the first
Five Books of the Bible).

But over the years, they
acquired their own Torah,
their Ark, candelabrum and
other furnishings required
for a Jewish place of wor-
ship. Nearly all were
donated by various mem-
bers.

The North Shore Jewish
congregation has always
enjoyed a warm spirit of co-
Operation. It has always
followed egalitarian prin-
ciples — all members are
called to the podium
regardless of their material
contributions.

Through the years, the
association has held High

Holiday and monthly
Sabbath services, given
children’s parties on Jewish
holidays, held social and
cultural evenings, and run a
very successful play-group
for children of preschool
age.

For the first four years,
the monthly Sabbath ser-
vices were led by a member,
Dr. Hy Ross, assisted by
various other members. The
Conservative religious
format was directed by Horst
Sachs, the  association’s
incumbent president and its
founder.

Rabbi Siegel’s enthusiastic
and spontaneous approach
to religion sparked a warm
response in the
congregation. His monthly
family-oriented Friday
evening services, followed
by a communal wgupper,
enjoy attendances of up to
100 people. Since Rabbi
Siegel undertook the
congregation’s ministry, as
many as 130 people have
attended the High Holiday
services.
