Abraham Meyer Heller

With its programmatic emphasis on what another one of its champions, Rabbi Abraham Heller, called the "wholeness of the Jewish people and Judaism," the synagogue-center caught on during the 1920s, inspiring Jewish communities across the nation - in Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit and Newark - to build one.

Rabbi Abraham Heller of the Beth Aharom congregation in Brooklyn described Sultan as "the kindest, gentlest soul you can imagine."

"He grew up with poor parents on the Lower East Side and he was given up for adoption," he said.

"He became very close to so many synagogues, congregations and rabbis, and since his wife died he had re-dedicated himself to studying the Talmud and the Torah."

Heller said Goldstein came from a broken home and served in Vietnam, but had become destitute and often "came around the synagogues begging for money.

"Raymond took him in because he was concerned for him," said Heller.

The tall, bearded suspect often dressed in traditional Orthodox Jewish garb, neighbors said.But he occasionally sported exaggerated painted eyebrows reminiscent of Divine, the transvestite star of John Waters' cult movie "Pink Flamingos."

Rabbi Abraham M. Heller, the founding Rabbi of the Congregation, had a vision for an Education Center that would house a Conservative Elementary Day School and High School.

Rabbi Abraham Meyer Heller says, - "although the work of translation was done by each (of the 70) without consulting the others, they were all found to be exactly alike" ("The Vocabulary of Jewish Life," N. Y. 1942, p. 214).
...
The Hebrews worshiped the One True God on a sabbath day from the days of Abraham until Moses brought them the Commandments on tablets of stone, a period of four hundred years, without having a prescribed sabbath day.

Rabbi Abraham Meyer Heller says, – "although the work of translation was done by each (of the 70) without consulting the others, they were all found to be exactly alike" ("The Vocabulary of Jewish Life," N. Y. 1942, p. 214).Be that so or not, one may reasonably believe that the Septuagint was providential.It enabled the knowledge of the Old Law, its Divine prophesies, and their culmination in the coming of the Messiah, to be spread among the Gentiles who did not know the Hebrew language.The general expectation of the coming of "the great king who was to arise among the Jews," such as caused the Magi to journey to Bethlehem, was due to this Greek version of the Old Testament.

The integrity of the Septuagint was not questioned by the Jews during the days when they spoke with authority on matters relating to the interpretation of the law that God had placed within their keeping.This, as we have seen, is substantiated by the English "Jewish Encyclopedia," quoted a moment ago.
...
The Hebrews worshiped the One True God on a sabbath day from the days of Abraham until Moses brought them the Commandments on tablets of stone, a period of four hundred years, without having a prescribed sabbath day.This is suggested in the first word of the third commandment, "Remember to keep holy the sabbath day."This word, "Remember," is recognized by the Jews as signifying a pre-Jewish sabbath day.The Jewish Encyclopedia, giving Rashi, Maimonides and the Talmud as its authorities, says: "Tradition assumes that the sabbath law had been proclaimed at Morah, before the Sinaitic revelation" (Vol.X. p. 591).

Secondly, the Commandment, "Remember, to keep the sabbath day holy," was not changed or abrogated, and never rightly can be, for it is one of God's eternal, and therefore unchangeable commandments.
