1Title:  Agudath B'nai Israel Congregation Photographs     
 Creator:  Agudath B'nai Israel Congregation 
 Dates:  1923-1969 
 Abstract:  Agudath B'nai Israel Congregation 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 B'rith 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 individual and group portraits of staff, organizations within the congregation, and members; and views of the various synagogues and activities of Agudath B'nai Israel Congregation, Lorain, Ohio. There are also photographs of the three synagogues occupied in the history of the congregation: the Fifteenth Street Synagogue, built for congregation Agudath Achim, later a part of Agudath B'nai Israel; the temple at Ninth Street and Reid Avenue (1932-1969); and the temple at Meister Road and Pole Avenue, occupied since 1969.
