Dianne and I are involved in a project to restore B'nai Abraham, a beautiful, but deteriorating and abandoned, historic building, in Virginia, Minnesota that was once a synagogue. It will be for community cultural activities, exhibits and to house a small museum documenting the history of Jewish settlement on the Iron Range. It is the only synagogue building in Minnesota to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The project is remarkably interesting and worthy of support. You can learn more at www.IronRangeJewishHeritage.org |
