At its height of activity around the turn of the century, Rumford Chemical included 300 acres of working farms and communities to sustain the factory workers, and the Village of Rumford was called the "kitchen capital of the world." The most popular product from the Rumford Chemical Works was Rumford Baking Powder, a double-acting baking powder that was revolutionary in minimizing the time and labor required to make breadstuffs. Products like Rumford Baking Powder led to the creation of new types of cakes, cookies, biscuits, and other baked goods. Rumford Baking Powder is no longer manufactured on-site, but can still be found in grocery stores around the country. After closing in 1968, the factory buildings at the Rumford Chemical Works fell into disrepair. Fortunately in 2006, PK Rumford LLC purchased the old Chemical Works and breathed new life into the site. The remaining factory buildings were rehabilitated to accommodate 8.3 acres of apartments, office space, retail shops, and restaurants. Rumford Center has brought new vitality to the historic Rumford neighborhood. More than just another development, Rumford Center has become an economic, historical and cultural engine which has revitalized the village. On June 12, 2006, Rumford Chemical Works was Designated a National Chemical Historic Landmark for its contribution to the development of baking powder.

They named the organization the Woonsocket Hebrew Ladies Aid Society and Mrs. Solomon Treitel was the first president. By September 2, 1923 the society was reorganized as an auxiliary of the Woonsocket congregation, B’nai Israel. It met once a month and officers were elected annually. The first major fund-raising event was a rummage sale in 1910 that raised $150. A Hebrew Fund was started and by 1913 the first Hebrew School was established on lower Main Street. During World War I, the ladies were very busy. They volunteered for the Red Cross and sold Liberty Bonds. They never forgot their commitment to the Jews who immigrated from Europe and Palestine or the local Jews who were in need. In 1920 the 84-member group became the Hebrew Ladies Aid and Sisterhood. The group bought prayer books and completely financed the Hebrew School. The ladies also contributed to the Jewish Orphanage of Rhode Island, Jewish Home for the Aged, The Miriam Hospital, B’Nai Jacob Synagogue in Woonsocket, and many other Jewish organizations. In 1937 the idea was conceived to compile a cookbook. The money from the sale of the cookbooks would be used for a new community center. The first year was devoted to collecting recipes and confirming the exact ingredients and measurements. Some recipes were translated from Yiddish. A total of $2,000 was needed for printing costs. The depression made it impossible to raise the money needed, and the project was postponed. Ten years later, in 1947, the cookbook was printed. A second printing was in 1950, and a third in 1952. In 1956 the cookbook sold for $2.25 a copy. About 5,000 copies were sold for a profit of $10,000. The money was divided, and a portion of the profits went to the purchase of stainless steel items for the synagogue’s kitchen and the remainder to the community center. In May of 1956, the name was changed to Sisterhood, Congregation B’Nai Israel, and in 1962 it was shortened to Sisterhood. A new synagogue and Community Center on Prospect Street was dedicated on September 16, 1962. The sisterhood continued to fund many expenses of the synagogue.

In 1915, the Ladies’ Auxiliary was renamed the Temple Beth-El Sisterhood, with Marion Misch serving as the new Sisterhoods’ first president. Throughout the Sisterhood’s history, it has hosted and sponsored many community programs including: sewing clubs, a Girl Scout troop, interfaith meetings, providing blankets for local hospitals, and still holds the annual Joanne Forman Film Festival and a Women’s Community Seder. As an active institution, the Sisterhood welcomes new members and holds an annual meeting. In 1950, the Sisterhood sponsored a luncheon held at Temple Beth-El to promote the sale of the Temple Beth-El Sisterhood cookbook that the women in the Sisterhood compiled. The luncheon featured dishes from the cookbook. The recipe chosen from the Sisterhood cookbook that has been prepared for this exhibition is Honey Cake, provided by Mrs. Sophie Tenenbaum.

Title A name given to the resource Scherenschnitte Subject The topic of the resource Paper cutting Description An account of the resource Scherenschnitte is the art of cutting paper into designs. The German word means “paper cutting” or “paper snipping.” The practice of paper cutting actually began in China and made its way, as a folk art form, to Germany in the 16th Century. It was popular in Poland from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. This piece was done by Samuel Shore, the first president of Sons of Jacob synagogue, and is on loan to us for this exhibit by the Sons of Jacob Congregation and the Rhode Island Jewish Museum. It was found only a few years ago behind a desk in the synagogue’s office by its President, Harold Silverman. The scherenschnitte itself is a collage of paper, ink, tempera, and graphite (23.3 x 27.5 in.). It has been carefully restored to show its magnificent colors and design. The signs of the zodiac go back over 4,000 years to the Sumerians, whose symbols continue to be used to this day. The various signs were put into medallions, or separate small pictures, often surrounded by pictures of nature and with the Hebrew name. Here, the months go in the following order from the top right hand corner and moving down the page and continuing to the left, then up the page and across the top to the right: Adar Shevat Tevet Kislev Cheshvan Tishrei Elul Av Tammuz (note the similarity to Cheshvan) Sivan Iyar Nisan Mazzal/Mazel in Hebrew today means “luck,” as in mazel tov, “good luck.” However, in terms of the zodiac, it can mean “luck/fortune” or “sign,” as in one of the signs of the zodiac. Thus the good luck comes from the particular zodiac sign when the statement is made. The following is the translation and attribution of the various Hebrew writing in the inside of the work1: I. The inner ring is a selection of verses. Starting to the immediate left of the crown is says: 1. “By the mouths of the upright are You acclaimed, by the lips of the righteous are You blessed, by the tongue of the pious are You sanctified, among the holy are You praised.” It continues down the left side to the angle. [This is from the first prayer of the Sabbath morning service (Shaharit). It is Nusach Sefard. 2. Starting at the small bend on the right and continuing across the bottom to the next bend where no. 1 ends. “Know before whom you stand, before the King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.” 3. Running up the right side to the first bend. “Shun evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it” [Psalms, 34:15] 4. From the bend to the crown on the right side. “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, His ears are attentive to their cry.” II. Straight down from the Ten Commandments. 1. Made by the hands of Shemariah son of Hayyim Zvi Shore. 2. Right above the menorah. Line 1 – “I am ever mindful of the Lord’s Presence” [Psalms, 16:8]. Line 2 – “I wait for Your deliverance, O Lord” [Genesis, 49:18]. 3. Top of pillars. Right side – “Open the gates of righteousness for me that I may enter them and praise the Lord” [Psalms, 118:19]. Left side – “This is the gateway to the Lord – the righteous enter through it” [Psalms, 118:20]. Middle of the menorah – “Let the seven lamps give light at the front of the lampstand” [Numbers, 8:2]. 1 Translated by Dr. Morris Faierstein.

Doyle Grammar School, also known as the Doyle Avenue Grammar School, was built in 1876. It was designed by E L Angell, a Providence architect who also designed the Candace Street School the next year, as well a school in Woonsocket. Providence born, he then moved to the mid-West. The name of the school comes from both the street and the Mayor, who served in 1864–1869; 1870–1881; and from 1884 until his death in office in 1886. The school was added to between 1882 and 1895, and was torn down in 1967. The site is now the East Side Apartments.

She was listed as one of the incorporators of the Jewish Home for the Aged on May 27, 1912, along with twelve other women. On July 8, 1914, the committee of the Jewish Home for the Aged presented her with the trophy pictured below for her service. The Ladies Hebrew Union Aid Association was described as, “an organization whose purpose it was to assist all needy Jewish families, supplying them with Food, Coal, Passover Supplies, Rent, Medicine, and to make loans whenever necessary.” To raise the funds needed, the members went from house to house collecting donations. Their service didn’t end with fundraising; they also visited the sick and infirm at homes and hospitals. It was during these visits that it became clear that a Jewish facility was needed for the elderly. With $165 from donations and contributions of household goods, the ladies association rented a cottage at 161 Orms St for $28 per month. They later moved to 191 Orms St. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jewish Home for the Aged Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1912 Annie Rabinowitz Jewish Home for the Aged Ladies Hebrew union Aid Association https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/73022/archive/files/69208f47fac06ab32270f62ee9128b66.png?Expires=1780531200&Signature=lq-VjF95Su9jzG6AZQC1wptjcm0ozi%7EtTHI6bQ1-MxFCR4ZIJW-jSh-MzN4AtGYM17zOJ9ndeNTQ0v5RJSEP2eeuRDhlMPJ452AkSGvjpMJ6SyIOqa9DTcGngdvIeDF72-7gmUZxgmJNo-ez60vn2QONKCPe-Et84G1IqiCPybsHq3pylEmMIXsYMQStsqylgoEbBCAqFNqTDCo8bvf-TsV4A8t0eyej0hsc5wQ-v6ipT8OKC72P-BwA9xCkF2eRwdpA-qz6hPQzREVOBlU4cg4NJgLkJoSbgerASwpSL7ay18vQ9rxXrV9ieAJ0shFPf3DetYeqOgLBiaQj0tB8eQ__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM c72ebfb492a7521ecd7d14e5b134a000 https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/73022/archive/files/10446d63fa4299b6f6fc8c830edbf681.png?Expires=1780531200&Signature=Q0cRjzVN0t9aBGVqACI1uuG3k-YFnCTBRxrSktJkCXs6lFkdi8uql53ADz%7EtZnCOHjExJ8cvfDIEXpRMAMXsDy7rUT2iwVYgH779c4wT7D6ZHTMWYjauJ7MYhqA%7EGkbWEgvDWVrzTfzFuu8rwFIe0EzFbNBqyisVW0Ay9MpJpWMIi7MsHrRndbvvuc5EtZRLorlDiEFe-b54aPJdNze5%7EAINVJtieMN4MGOuYP5VT9ekIyd1Y%7Eh9ZdawUw%7EVn54g1fy47thMACXMrdVvET-JcHdhjCVq7%7Eb6lp4iPufWFRzRpz8Uuyn7%7E-WQBKSLwufoMkFtEiY6Bmkx4Hn0q44GKA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 0e035724777845c4524ee5dc723d1259 https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/73022/archive/files/a51c26b69ed6ee1d3fe00373bd1e1a0b.png?Expires=1780531200&Signature=gDWDx5QB7N13G0cF94n3u1Yya8gPa-WB%7ELV7T23liwbAENAG85A6zYf8osz-HEID3J6QOBgqsWWdzAehLRUhCO3WLIhkxUJjF6aSFwSU-gnPw74gAhZIRKfUbV9XaeA8KfdXEa5ilkUWgFfw1e%7EGek98j9s%7EMfXPeyh6rraGgUYqCe5AXqlEygDJuXu1WQ1mNKkhzDz5iodfFNs6pBVDtTAS0P4PuOQlFGEfFd%7Ebh-ie3OM1ueb2deF89RXZEqEhALRFwH3w3BmPGXIFaCYRPBiH%7EjgLzm2mOhR8OXDwG%7EV7u8SVi8t5Q7r15E6TE788OTSA%7EyhgtvldmjWoIWZ9tA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM d37944b5dc6ebcf819f331b464871cdd Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Hebrew Free Loan Subject The topic of the resource Hebrew Free Loan Association - Rhode Island Description An account of the resource The Hebrew Free Loan Association was founded on Feb 4, 1903 by a small group of businessmen who saw the need to help the growing number of immigrants who were coming here penniless from Europe. The small initial capital with which the organization was started was contributed by the few in the community who were able to do so. The Association’s name until 1917 was Gemilath Chesed (Deeds of Loving Kindness), and all of its early records were in Yiddish. The size of the loans granted at the beginning ranged from $5 to $25; but as time went on and the community grew, more funds became available, and the organization was able to grant larger loan amounts. Persons requesting loans were required only to provide the names of two satisfactory endorsers. Loans up to $50 are granted with-out any endorsers. There are, of course, no charges made of the borrower. What is so remarkable about our Hebrew Free Loan is its viability –Its fundamental and ongoing usefulness. In every era and whatever the need, the Association has been not only a beacon of hope but has offered practical steps toward self-improvement and security. Despite precise by-laws, only seldom amended, the Association has attracted not only new borrowers but also new donors and new directors, who continually recycle funds. As the world has rapidly evolved, Hebrew Free Loan has remained relatively simple, stable, and inviting. Hebrew Free Loan has remained eager to assist with unforeseen and recurring difficulties, help young people start out on their own, and settle new waves of immigrants. In the latter capacity, the Association has worked fruitfully with Jewish Family Service and the Jewish Federation for three decades. Hebrew Free Loan has prospered, both as an idea and as an actuality, for another important reason. True to Jewish teaching, the Association has never been considered a charity. Despite occasional references, the Association has never been a “Jewish bank.” Hebrew Free Loan has been an instrument of tzedakah -social justice -providing opportunities to Jews and others to help themselves.
