“Unboxing” the Beth Samuel Jewish Center Archives

  • Beth Samuel Jewish Center 810 Kennedy Drive Ambridge, PA 15003 USA (map)

Beth Samuel Jewish Center recently donated several boxes of congregational records to the Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center for permanent preservation. Archive staff have recently completed a preliminary view of the collection and want to give the congregation a peak at the stories and treasures it contains. Rauh Jewish Archives Director Eric Lidji will lead a virtual “unboxing” of the collection, showing photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera going back to the 1920s. “Unboxing” is a popular Internet trend, where people film themselves opening and reviewing recent retail purchases. We’ll do the same thing, showing the coolest discoveries from the Beth Samuel Jewish Center Records.
