A printed circular letter, dated April 1, 1849, issued by Isaac Leeser as Corresponding Secretary pro tempore. It calls for a national meeting of Jewish leaders in the United States to address various issues facing American Jewry, including a lack of concert, inadequately qualified teachers, insufficient schools, and a lack of religious instruction. The letter proposes the establishment of a union of congregations, the development of educational initiatives, and the publication of books to improve religious understanding and practice. The proposed meeting was to take place in New York City on the third Monday in Sivan (June 11, 1849), with each congregation sending a delegate.
