I lived 2 doors away and went the very Shabbat with my Zayda until age 8 when he died. I was allowed to sit with him downstairs in the Mens Sec except for high holidays when I had to sit upstairs with other ladies.

We got sent home from NJY camp Milford PA. Neighbors had high-water marks on their garages.

All the dads filled sandbags to pile at the end of the street to hold crack the water. Fortunately, the construction of the East West Highway held back the flood waters.

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...
