I remember the smell of rye bread filling the car when we got picked up from Hebrew School on Sundays.

Did you know that Hilarie Altman and I believe that the last owner of Weinstein’s that had the deli in the Lawrence Shopping Center is still alive and well in Hamilton and I am considering consulting him to see if he wants to re-open a deli in the area as it is definitely needed. Weinstein has been sorely missed since the closure due to the management of the shopping center not negotiating fairly with the lease and the gentleman deciding to retire.

This organization began in November 1894 as the Young Men's Hebrew Club, with a membership of twenty-seven. Its first meetings were held in a room in a building on South Broad Street, below Factory, but later the club moved to East State Street, between Broad and Warren Streets. Arthur Schwartz was the first president of the old club, which was interested in improving the mental, moral, social, and physical conditions of its members and of protecting Hebrew interests.   About 1905, the club changed into a purely social one and adopted the name of the Progress Club. New quarters were acquired in the Alhambra Building, and sometime after the Thropp property on East State Street became the club's headquarters. In 1922 the members bough...
