Anotations

Scope note:

Preserved information constituting evidence about events, usually documents, collected and maintained by the congregation of a synagogue or community house of worship that serves as a place not only for liturgical services but also for the study of Judaism. Modern synagogue records chronicle the same functions associated with ancient synagogues but may reflect added social, recreational, and philanthropic programs.
