Records, mainly 1948 to 1975, of a congregation founded in 1904 as Agudas Achim. In 1949 members of Agudas Achim built a new synagogue, the Beth Israel Center. Included are minutes, correspondence, financial records, printed materials, newsletters, photographs and oral history interviews with former officers of the congregation; Yetta Daitch, Sam Onheiber, Celia Rosenberg, and Adolph and Janet Weinshel. Materials document the center's construction, and the administration, fundraising, philanthropic, and social activities of the congregation, its Talmud Torah, Sisterhood, and Men's Club. A minute book (in Yiddish) documents the administration of the center's predecessor, Agudas Achim, from 1908 to 1920, and is available only on microfilm. English
