Joseph Jasin 1883-1968 a native of Poland and an early Zionist arrived at a young age as a newly ordained rabbi at the Reform Jewish Congregation Beth-El formed in 1902 in Fort Worth Texas. He reinvigorated the religious school and doubled the membership of the congregation. He remained in Fort Worth until 1908 when he was drafted to New York as secretary of the Federation of American Zionists the forerunner of the Zionist Organization of America. At that time Zionism seemed like an impossible dream and Jasin and fellow Reform Zionists found themselves denounced by all but a very few American Reform rabbis and by Orthodox and Conservative Zionists as a turncoat for following Reform. Later in life Jasin went on to a pulpit in Pasadena California where he established a prison chaplaincy and developed an interest in parapsychology. He remained an organizer editor and innovator throughout his career. Gloversville, NY: September 10 and October 8, 1919. unknown
