The new archives exhibit goes live in nine days and I’m already stressed.

Donate lots of money to your local archives, because it is suuuuuper expensive trying to preserve stuff.
I was browsing through a box and came across a certificate. When I saw the date, I immediately knew who the senior rabbi was at that time. That was a little startling.
I’ve also been sifting through letters written to Rabbi Gerald Klein and even though I never got a chance to meet him, I just know that he was an amazing person who cared deeply for this community.
I found a bunch of marriage and engagement newspaper announcements from the 1920s. That was pretty cool.
Holy cow, some of Temple’s families have been members for several generations, which is absolutely awesome.
