Rev. Isaac Leeser.
At a meeting of the Congregation Keneseth Israel, held April 17th 1854, at the Committee rooms, in New Market Street, above Noble, the following pre-amble and resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, On the occasion of the consecration of our new Synagogue we have derived such great benefit from various Gentlemen, on whose kindness and assistance we had no other claim than that of charity, that we deem it expedient and proper to express our thanks to them in this manner.
Be it therefore. Resolved. That the thanks of the congregation are due, to the Rev. Isaac Leeser, for the excellent sermon which he delivered on the occasion, to the Rev. Fraenkel, Rev. S. Morais, Rev. Pope and Rev. Fassbender for the services they so

kindly volunteered and so ably performed; and also to the Rev. L. Naumburg for the exertions he used in rendering the ceremonies worthy of the praise and admiration of those who participated in them.
Resolved. That we tender our sincere thanks to the Presidents and Committees of the Congregations „Beth Elohim” „Beth Israel” and „Rodef Sholom” for the favors which they accorded with such good will and at so short a notice; and also to Messrs. Jacob Langsdorf, Josep Einstein, Allen, Henry Mayer, M. Goldsmith, Jacob Mayer and other gentlemen who aided in the management. Also to Professors Fisher and Sherrer for the skillful manner in which they conducted the musical arrangements; to the ladies and gentlemen of the choir and to Messrs. Shoemaker & Co. for their

kind loan of a melodeon, and to all others who, though, their names may not be mentioned here, have assisted in the cere-monies.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to each of the reverend gentlemen and others herein mentioned, and that they be inserted for publication in the Ledger, Daily Register, Freie Heimath and Democrat.
Weidnitzer, Secr.
