Scope and Content Note
This series contains a wide variety of clippings, letters, bulletins, tickets, announcements, congregational publications,
and other documents covering the full range of activities and events sponsored by the congregation (Services, Adult Education,
Bar and Bat Mitzvah, Confirmation, Holidays, Lectures, Religious School, and various clubs) from the 1880s through the 1990s
(with the bulk of material dating from circa 1940 through 1970). Most of these materials were produced by Congregation Beth
Israel, but some originate from the merged institution, Congregation Beth Israel-Judea, including a religious school journal
for Temple Judea (1957); annual membership rosters for Temple Judea (1961, 1966); a dedication journal for Temple Judea's
new synagogue building, from 1964, which has a list of the congregation's members; a dedication book for Beth Israel-Judea's
Rabbi Elliot M. Burstein activities building, from 1976; and annual membership rosters for Congregation Beth Israel-Judea
(i.e. 1971, 1986, 1989, 1996, 1999).
