A visitor, Natalya Rolbin, came to our Shabbat services in 2009. During that planned visit, she celebrated good news regarding her unborn child, in an atmosphere which gave her the peace she sought. During her visit she made a sketch of our building “to honor its beauty” and celebrate her joy. Happily, Natalya recently sent her sketch to Central Synagogue’s Archives. Our Archives contain Central’s history, both historic and current, including documents and photographs of our impact on our larger community.

These monthly historical briefs are prepared by Amy Goldberger, Chair of the Archives Committee and Anne Mininberg, Archivist
