Detailed
Description		    Dedicated in memory of Reverend Alexander Gross, cantor of Congregation Adath Jeshurun. 130 hymns in English (two in Hebrew) for use in the congregation. Congregation Adath Jeshurun was founded on the fourth day of Sukkot, 1858. The original minutes were recorded in German and the services were conducted in both German and Hebrew. In 1873 a choir was incorporated to enhance the service and, in 1876, an organ was installed. In 1910, Max D. Klein, a young rabbinic student at the Jewish Theological Seminary, became the spiritual leader of AJ. Through his leadership, he guided the congregation toward the Conservative Movement, making AJ a founding member of the United Synagogue of America.
