Content Description

From the Collection:

Two albums containing pictures, brochures, advertisements, and newspaper clippings from Temple Beth El of Williamsburg, Virginia. Founded in 1959, the scrapbooks highlight one of the building renovations that began in 1989. The Synagogue was formerly the Foster Gift shop. In 1968, it was purchased from Colonial Williamsburg, and moved from its foundation on Francis Street to its Jamestown Road location and serves as the temple for the Jewish congregation of Williamsburg. The scrapbooks predominately feature Dr. Paul and Ethel Sternberg, the first president of the congregation and first female president, respectively. Other pictures and articles showcase the congregation, activities, services, and community outreach from the 1980's through early 2000's with some photographs of the temple from the 1970's.
