Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series documents the various internal operations of Temple Emanuel, as well as a wide array of photographs. Notable here is the considerable back and forth represented by the rabbi's many different versions of his contract and salary documents. Also of note are documents related to the ‘parsonage’ —the legal term of the time (1962) which refers to the Rabbi's residence. The series also includes documents from Temple Emanuel's Capital Campaign, which resulted in a new wing of the temple. Rabbi Roth was called on, in retirement, to help raise funds for the temple from its affluent congregation. The extensive photographs and albums included in this series are from temple celebrations, such as the Rabbi's retirement party in 1990. An original musical is included in this series, entitled “When Harry Met Lillian…and They Met Us,” written by the members of Temple Emanuel, is included in the subseries of temple celebrations. A small collection of historical documents about Temple Emanuel are included in this series. Also included is a bound survey of the Andover Jewish community, retelling the stories of the Jewish families and individuals who had made Andover, MA their home.
