| | Abstract: | Agudath B'nai Israel is a conservative congregation founded in 1925 by the merger of Agudath Achim and Beth Israel, two existing Jewish congregations in Lorain, Ohio, and a B'nai Bʻrith group about to establish a third congregation. A new temple was built to house the congregation and also to serve as a center for the Lorain Jewish community. In 1983 membership accounted for over ninety percent of Lorain's Jewish population. The collection consists of minutes, correspondence, membership ledgers, due cards, financial statements and ledgers, legal documents, programs, publication, and drawings. | |
