Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur at Old Broadway, 1944



Dear Friends,

I came across this damaged sign today at the Old Broadway Synagogue. It advertises that the Old Broadway Synagogue, Rabbi Chaim Shabsai Broyde and M. Bleicher, President, has invited the famous Cantor R. Yitzchok Eliezer Reinhold to lead Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, which will be on the 18th, 19th 26th and 27th of September 1944. If anyone has any recollections of what the shul was like in the 1940s, or knows something about R. Reinhold, please email me. Thank you!
