My personal journey through the Jewish East End of London
A letter from the
present about a Yiddish postcard from the past - can anyone shed any
light?
Dear Phil,
A 1928 postcard sent from the
Belze Shtiebel in Commercial Road to my Grandfather inviting him to
a Special Meeting.
Anybody know anything about this
shtiebel-synagogue which has amalgamted with Nelson Street?
Apparently my grandfather was its founder - member, Rav Zvi Hersh
Knopp, z"l and I wonder if anyone has heard of this name: he had a
ladies dress shop in Cable Street.
