The Jewish Historical
Society of Greater
Charlotte’s Newest Addition
The Jewish Historical Society
of Greater Charlotte received 19
issues of the Carolina Israelite, the
newspaper published in Charlotte
by Harry Golden. The dates of our
copies range from 1959 to 1967.
These issues were donated to the
Historical Society by Ann Katz of
Austin, TX. Ms. Katz discovered
the newspapers when she was set
tling the estate of her mother, Mrs.
M. B. Goldfarb. The archives of
the Historical Society has never
owned copies of these particular
years of the Carolina Israelite.
These issues are in very good con
dition and are a historical treasure.
The Jewish Historical Society
Archives serves to strengthen the
collective memory of the entire
greater Charlotte Jewish commu
nity. However, the Historical
Society needs your help through
donations of manuscripts, pictures
and other items that tell the story
of Charlotte and the Jewish com
munity. We also accept financial
contributions which help to fund
the Historical Society and care for
our collections. ^
We acknowledge with
gratitude the following
donations to the Levine-
Sklut Judaic Library and
Resource Center These
donations allow us to
expand the collection of
books, DVDs, CDs,
videos, maps, posters,
games and various teach
ing aids. The entire com
munity benefits from
these thoughtful gifts.

upon seeing what we have accom
plished. Support the work of this
significant and meaningful com

a great place to start as it works to
guarantee a holy and sanctified
resting place for the children and
adults who were the movers and
shakers of our community. Come

children to introduce them to the
Jewish traditions surrounding this
journey of the soul. You will be
pleasantly inspired by the holiness
and yes, beauty and serenity, that
you will encounter. Call or email
