The collection consists of trustee minutes, directors' reports, social service and financial reports, building and expansion plans, studies of Jewish aged, a newsletter written by the residents, and a guest book. The collection is valuable to the study of the institutional care of the aged and the contributions of Julius and Helen Weil to the Home. Also included is a letter written by Moses Montefiore to the Home in 1885. Montefiore (1784-1885) was a famed Anglo-Jewish philanthropist and advocate of civil rights for Jews in England and a precursor of modern Zionism. http://norton.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4455.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT
