Happy New Year

This is a Sukkah I designed that will be built in Princeton for the Holiday

It’s one of 12 that will be in a Sukkah Village and it would be an interesting visit if you’re nearby

 

I hope we can all have a great 5782

Yes, I have and the committee did an amazing job attending to all the orphaned cemeteries in the area. The fencing was replaced, stones straightened, walkways developed, invasive trees removed, benches strategically placed… dignity restored. This was possible through donations only! Please visit and see the work that has been done and most of all please consider donating.

Downtown Trenton, 1929

Downtown Trenton Harry Podmore 1929 Although there were a disproportionate number of professionals (Physicians, Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, Dentists), most reverted to the family business of selling merchandise. However, they did it on a much larger scale. Trenton was known for its ‘downtown.’ Between Willow and City Hall, there were 100’s of stores, both small and large. The interesting fact is that most of them were owned by the sons and daughters of ‘Jewtown.’ During the era of the 1920’s, Jews had difficulty getting onto college, if for no other reason that they were Jewish. If they were ‘lucky’ enough to attend college from 1929 on, they returned home to support a Depression-starved family. Downtown Trenton had been a busy commercial district after the Greene St. (Broad St.) overpass forded the Assinpink Creek. In addition, it originally housed the most prominent families of Trenton, such as the Roebling’s, the Kuser's, etc. The retail trade in Trenton saw its h

Avraham and Rivkah Swern

  In front of the headstone for Avraham and Rivkah Swern is a stone that is tilted backwards.  It marks the final resting place of Morris Freedman, who passed away on October 29, 1919. He is listed in the 1900 Trenton City Directory.   He was apparently in business with the Vine family with the shirt manufacturer Vine and Freedman.    There is a genealogy website that cites Freedman's business dealings here. Chapter 2-3: Simon (The Third Child of Benjamin & Bessie Wein) Simon (b. 1859; Lida, Vilna) was the third child of Benajmin and Bessie Wein. He married Libby (Leba or Bessie) Abramsohn (b. 1862) in Lida in 1883-1884. Simon and Libby had eight children: Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A., Benjamin, Rachel and Norman. Simon immigrated via Hamburg on April 28, 1896 at the age of 37 on the SS California and arrived NY on May 15, 1896. Libby arrived in either 1898 or 1899. The oldest six children (Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A. a
