Hear, Oh Israel! the Lord, Our God, is One God.

OUR APPEAL. Congregation Montefiore having determined to build a Temple, we respectfully ask your aid in order to enable us to complete the same. There being none in this Territory, therefore, the congregation has taken the task upon themselves to build a suitable place for worship. All that may favor us with their donations, their names will be placed on our Roll of Honor, which will be deposited in the archives of The Temple. We hope our efforts will be crowned with success, and our temple, when finished, will be an honor to ourselves and in the future an acceptable inheritance to the Children of Israel, whose aim it will forever be to perpetuate the principals and precepts of Judaism.

By order of the Congregation, the following named firms and persons are hereby authorized to receive donations and receipt for the same.
