We are hoping that you may uncover items related to the history of B'nai Abraham. We would like to expand the collection of memorabillia, artifacts and documents currently on display in the building. Please notify Marilyn Chiat at chiat@earthlink.net or 612-926-7936 if you have items that you believe are directly related to the history of B’nai Abraham and its congregants. Provide a description of the item, its date, and its relationship to the synagogue. For example, a ritual object used in the synagogue, a document or photograph related to an event that occurred in the building. If possible, include a photograph of the item or a photo copy. If you prefer, the information can be mailed to Marilyn at: 3812 Drew Ave. So., Mpls. MN 55410. We will contact you about your donation. |
