It took four woman working for a year to get this book finished in time for the 125 anniversary of Temple Emanu-El.

Remember when we were so cool?

Remember when we were so cool?

Remember when life’s hardest choices were, what shoes with which dress? They are headed off to a dance. My daughter is on the left. Photo could have been better had we had any light, everything is flat image wise except their style, friendship or their evening spent dancing…I hope!
