There are at present thirteen incorporated Jewish congregations in this city. It must be admitted that Chicago cannot boast of such large congregations as New York, Philadelphis, Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis, and other American cities! There is only one congregation here, whose membership reaches the number of 100 members.

It must furthermore be admitted that by far the larger part of Chicago Israelites, are not affiliated with any congregation at all.....
