Mr. S. J. Lubin moved that in conformity
with the request received from the Jewish
Welfare Board and as a patriotic service
and as a contribution to our government and
the cause of Judaism as presented so nobly
by those Jews who are in the service of the
United States Army and Navy, we the
Congregation B'nai Israel of Sacramento
offer to the Jewish Welfare Board beginning
October 1, 1918, the services of our rabbi for
the period of 6 months and that this time
be extended to nine months on the discretion
of the President or acting President of the
Congregation. Mr. H.L. Stich seconded the
motion which was carried.

Mr. Lubin moved that in the absence of the
rabbi, the acting president be responsible
for the conduct of the services, that the
president or acting president be authorized to invite
any speaker of any faith to occupy the
pulpit during services on Friday evenings
or any other time. Mr. Davis seconded the
motion which prevailed.

No other business appearing, the meeting adjourned.

Leon Salomon, Secretary
