Congregation Shearith Israel,
New York, 9th Shebat 5628
2d Feby 1868
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held this day the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved — that the Trustees of the Congregation Hebrew learn with sincere regret of the death of the Reverend Isaac Leeser the much respected Hebrew of the Congn Hebrew of Philadelphia — distinguished alike for his many virtues, his fearless devotion to the House of Israel during a long period of usefulness, and with an ability which marked him as the earnest champion of orthodox Judaism.
Resolved — that we tender the Congregation Hebrew our warmest sympathies for their severe bereavement, and offer the assurance of our respect and condolence on the melancholy occasion. Resolved — that the Hebrew of this Congn, the Revd I. I. Lyons, be requested to make an Escoba in our Holy place of worship on then ensuing Hebrew for the Reverend deceased, and also on the expiration of the Hebrew.
Resolved — that, as a further mark to respect for the deceased, and for the congregation he so faithfully and creditably served,
a committee from this Board with the Hebrew of the Congregation be requested to attend the Hebrew at Philada and to present to the President of the Congregation Hebrew a copy of these Resolutions”
