Re: [Cz-L] Our Temple

The Temple was NOT only for the very rich. It may have been built
with money donated by the very rich, but the services were attended
by many of the middle and lower class who preferred a more modern
service.
My mother was born and lived till 1924 on Karolinengasse #4,
right next to the Temple. She sang in the quire of the Temple
and her family attended the Temple services on all Jewish holidays.
The fact that she lived in a tenement building but in the center of
town,
is evidence enough that her family was not very rich, but also not
very poor.
