B'nai Abraham in Virginia, Minnesota |
Dianne and I are involved in a project to restore B'nai Abraham, a beautiful, but deteriorating and abandoned, historic building, in Virginia, Minnesota that was once a synagogue. It will be for community cultural activities, exhibits and to house a small museum documenting the history of Jewish settlement on the Iron Range. It is the only synagogue building in Minnesota to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The project is remarkably interesting and worthy of support. You can learn more at www.IronRangeJewishHeritage.org |

Sons of Jacob cemetery project in St. Paul, Minnesota |
This is a prototype of what, hopefully, will become comprehensive documentation of this historic cemetery in St. Paul, Minnesota. The project is a labor of love undertaken by Bill Rosenbloom. My part is the creation of this example web presence. The cemetery is maintained by Beth Jacob Congregation. The project, and it's web presence, is eventually destined to be transferred to the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest. For more information contact Bill Rosenbloom at bill@airlineposters.com. |

TRACES is a non-profit educational organization created to gather, preserve and present stories of people from the Midwest and Germany or Austria who encountered each other during World War II. TRACES was transformed into a number of mobile BUSeum exhibits. TRACES "Green" is also working for the future to to protect nature and a sustainable arable land in Iowa as a setting for diverse learning opportunities. |
