Biographical Note
On October 12, 1944, the Monroe Jewish Council was formed by 75 Jews, coming together to create an institution to strengthen their Jewish heritage. After many long debates and much deliberation, non religious members compromised with the Liberal, Conservative and Orthodox segments and affiliated with the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, UAHC, the national organization of the Reform movement, which has since changed its name to the Union for Reform Judaism, URJ. In February of 1953 the Council's name was officially changed to the Monroe Temple of Liberal Judaism, Temple Beth-El.
