Baltimore Jewish History

OnTheMainLine drudged up a search engine for the The Jewish Mueseum of Maryland's collections (hence his post on Baruch Aronson's hat!).

I did a search for Taragin (Peninah's family), and came up with lots of very interesting stuff. Nothing for Mihaly.

I am sure there are hours of interesting stuff here.

A picture of Zaydie Mendel (R. Menachem Mendel Taragin, Peninah's great grandfather).


Ner Israel students, circa 1960. R. Herman Nueberger on the left (is that Jerry Kadden in the back row, center? I may be way off here in terms of chronology...).


The Original Shomrei Emunah, now a hole in the ground.

If you find anything else interesting, post it in the comments.

Do a search for Zaidy Willy. (I just wanted to say Zaidy Willy).

You aren't off with Jerry Kadden in terms of chronology, however I believe that picture was in the Rabbi Neuberger book which says this picture was of South American students.

Unless I'm very wrong some of the other men in the picture include Rabbi Max and the late Moshe Kahn z"l. (He was the founder of Central Hebrew Bookstore and Rabbi Shafran's brother in law.)

There's a few pics of Zaydie Willy, but all the pictures seem to have come from Uncle Saul's collection.

"Ron"- If you really want, I can get you a picture of Zaidy Willie. I believe we even have his old hat.

Greg, try to get ahold of the book that was given out at the Rabbi Neuberger memorial dinner in NY. It has that photo and tons of other ones of Rabbi Neuberger and the yeshiva. It was really put together in a nice, professional manner.
