What are Jewish synagogue leaders called?

Most synagogues do not have a single leader, but are run by a committee established by the congregants. In the United States, the leader of this committee is called the President. It is worth noting that the President is almost always a Lay Jew as opposed to a person with religious experience.If the question meant to ask, who leads services within a synagogue, that would be a Rabbi and/or a Cantor. However, it would not be necessary to be a Rabbi or Cantor to actually lead services and there are some smaller congregations where members exclusively lead services.

Why were the attacks on Jews on November 91938 called kristallnacht or the night of the broken glass?

from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum website:Kristallnacht owes its name to the shards of shattered glass that lined German streets in the wake of the pogrom-broken glass from the windows of synagogues, homes, and Jewish-owned businesses plundered and destroyed during the violence.Kristallnacht, literally, "Night of Crystal," is often referred to as the "Night of Broken Glass." The name refers to the wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms which took place on November 9 and 10, 1938. This wave of violence took place throughout Germany, annexed Austria, and in areas of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia recently occupied by German troops.
