Biography of leon watters secratary

The Jewish archives (1831-1990) has been divided into five major sections, each of which has been further subdivided for clarity. The first three sections, designated as B'nai Israel, Montefiore, and Kol Ami are materials from Salt Lake City's three major Jewish congregations in order of founding date. The fourth section contains information about the Utah Jewish Community and the fifth is comprised of general information about Jews and Judaism.

B'NAI ISRAEL

Congregation B'nai Israel, the first subdivision in this section is contained in three boxes. The first box holds all the background information about the establishment of the congregation, including the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws. Deeds and plot descriptions of the various land transactions, as well as historical information about the congregation, are filed here. A microfilm copy of the first minute book, dated 1881 to 1899, was obtained from the American Jewish Archives for inclusion in the collection. Miscellaneous items such as membership lists, programs, bulletins and newspaper clippings complete the general information. The other two boxes contain financial records comprised of check stubs from 1928 to 1943 and ledgers dated from 1929 to 1972. Three other large ledger books ranging in date from 1889 to 1941 have been placed in an oversize box at the end of the collection. One folder, following the financial records, contains information about the congregation's religious school.

B'nai Israel Sisterhood, the second subdivision, fills two boxes. Other, than the constitution and by-laws, some committee lists, yearbooks, and programs the sisterhood materials consist of financial records. These financial records include bills and receipts, bank statements, check stubs, receipt books, savings account passbooks, and treasurers' reports all dated between 1958 and 1972. Also filed here are two ledgers listing debits and credits for 1922 to 1971.
