Скачать или смотреть Ashland Jewish History: The Temple

Agudath Achim was the first Jewish congregation in Ashland, Kentucky. Originally an Orthodox congregation, members chose to affiliate with the Reform movement in the 1920s. In the 1930s, they built a synagogue, which served Agudath Achim until the 1980s, when the dwindling community decided to sell their building.

In this video, former members of the Ashland Jewish community and ISJL historian Stuart Rockoff describe Agudath Achim and its membership. Special thanks to Elliot Gehringer for sharing home videos from the Agudath Achim Sunday school.
