Cash Book, 1942-1953

 File — Box: 3, Folder: 5

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series contains cash books and financial ledgers that document the expenses and incomes of the congregation. Some of the ledgers, as well as the book with the payments for the “Chanukah Club,” provide information about members’ names and home addresses. They reflect their concentration in the West End as well as in the neighborhoods of Roxbury and Dorchester, and, increasingly since the 1940s, in communities west of Boston, especially Brookline and Newton. The ledgers of the Chevra Kadisha record the expenses and incomes of the cemetery.
