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.

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.
