Sisterhood, 1946-1948

The records of Temple Israel of Swampscott and Marblehead contain administrative documents, consisting of minutes and reports from meetings—including the foundational meeting in 1946—and correspondence, as well as copies of two quitclaim deeds for the land at 837 Humphrey Street. The administrative documents also contain a report and correspondence related to the purchase of land in Peabody to establish a cemetery.

Other records in the collection include publications in the form of calendars, bulletins, programs, brochures, anniversary booklets, newspaper clippings about events hosted by Temple Israel, photographs, and documents from the Brotherhood, Sisterhood, and the Hebrew School. A final folder contains photographs, newspaper clippings, and a program from the 1955 groundbreaking ceremony for the new temple building.
