Seeking information About Rabbi Kantrowitz and Congregation Poale Emes of Trenton Binyomin Zev Karman   Thu, Mar 28, 5:24 AM (1 day ago) to me Dear Mr. Finkle, I am a journalist for Hamodia, a newspaper in New York with the largest circulation of any Orthodox Jewish newspaper in America. I am preparing an article about Rabbi Jacob (Yaakov) Kantrowitz, who served in Congregation Poale Emes of Trenton from 1928 until his death in 1946. He was originally buried in their cemetery  on Cedar Lane, but eventually his remains were transferred to Israel. His son in law, Rabbi Lev, took over his position, and served there until the mid 60s, when the Jewish community began to wane. I was wondering if you might know where I could get a picture of the Poale Emes Synagogue to go along with my article. I did get a picture of Rabbi Kantrowitz fr...

I am certain that my parents, Joe and Jessie Zelnick, knew the Segotskys; the name is familiar to me, though it's been decades since our farm days.   And could your Toms River Zelnicks have been my grandparents?  Hard to know.  Some Zelnick relatives recently surfaced from whom my grandparents and parents had become detached; I think they had a connection to my grandparents' farm for a time.  I'll have to dig up some old notes. I don't have mountains of memories of our family's farming activities but many, for sure, and I would be pleased to chat with you.  I'm in Philadelphia and you're on or near the Main Line, do I have that right?  Maybe make a date to talk over coffee?   And if you have Gert Dubrovsky's book,  The Land Was Theirs , dive in and meet my father and many of the people with whom we had...

I mmigration Judge Gordon Was A Supermensch Last week, retired  Immigration Judge Nathan “Nate” Gordon  passed away.  At his funeral, dozens of immigration attorneys, judges and others shared their stories of this wonderful man. Judge Gordon changed many people’s lives in a very positive way. I have a lot of stories about Judge Gordon. Let me share one of them with you. Judge Gordon – Background Judge Gordon was born on Christmas Day in 1926 in New Jersey to Jewish immigrant parents from Eastern Europe.  He served in the US Army during World War II and graduated from New York Law School some years later. He was employed by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) as an Attorney from 1962 to 1977. After that, he became an Immigration Judge, first in Newark, New Jersey, then in Los Angeles. I first met Judge Gordon in the mid-1980s, after I had left the INS and entered privat...
