My grandfather, Julius Blumenthal, was a Shamash (assistant Rabbi) at this location. It was Orthodox at the time and when the synagogue relocated to Greenwood Avenue, it became Conservative. This was my family synagogue and I remain affiliated.

One of the many industries that promoted the idea "Trenton makes, the world takes"

Dear Friends, We are pleased to present this weekly “window into our treasured past” from Yizkor Books that JewishGen has translated. To learn more about the project, and see if we have a book for your town, please visit https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/translations/ - The JewishGen Team   Kittever Heroes   At the end of each week, we have been featuring excerpts from Yizkor books in JewishGen's archive. You can find the archive of past Yizkor book excerpts here: https://bit.ly/3aCH1ak. If you are not familiar with the JewishGen Yizkor Book Project, please click on this link: https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/faq.html Jews in Kuty, Ukraine, strove to live peacefully with their Polish and Ukrainian neighbors using various methods to counter rising anti-Semitism, but it grew and gradually poisoned the long-lasting peaceful relations between old neighbours. With the establishment in 1918 of the Polish Republic, of which Kuty was then a part,  Polish anti-Semitism passed from words to deeds. “Kittever Heros” from the Yizkor book of that town recounts how three young men organized a self-defence team to repel attackers and take away “their appetite for messing with the Jews.”  It was “woe to the ‘sheigets’ [gentile youths] who fell into the hands of one of the team” after committing acts of hate, whether it was beating Jews or spreading anti-Semitic propaganda. The town is referred to as Kittev in the book, but it is the practice of the Yizkor Book Project to use a town’s current name. It became part of Ukraine in 1991.   You can find the book here: https://bit.ly/3F3Ykiv

What is the Meaning of Placing Stones on a Grave

 Why don't Hebrews put flowers near a tomb?

And instead of flowers leave a stone

The Hebrew custom of placing a stone on a tomb is ancient.

In doing so, we are symbolically adding to the tomb, building the monument that honors the dead.

Putting flowers on a grave is not our custom.

The flowers wither and die. The stones remain unchanged

Although flowers are a beautiful gift to the living, they mean nothing to the dead.

In death, the ephemeral and temporary body disappears, and all that remains is that eternal part of the person, his soul.

The body, like a flower, blooms and then fades, but the soul, like a solid stone, lives forever.

In the real world, the place we all go after life on earth, what counts is the lasting impact we have had on the world.

It's the conquests of the soul, not of the body, that go beyond the grave. The money we make, the vacations we take, the food we eat and the games we play, are all flowers that die with us.

But the good deeds we do, the love we show to others, the light we bring to the world, are eternal stones that never die.

Take a modest stone that will cost you nothing, and place it on the grave of your loved one, to tell him that even though he is gone, the impact it had on you is real and eternal.

• I have been following The Trenton Jewish Historical site for a number of years. There are a few corrections and additions I would like to make. The owner of Alexander’s Pharmacy was Sully, NOT Solly. His full name was Israel Sully Alexander. His wife Harriet was either the sister or sister-in-law to Herman Spiegle. Sully and Harriet had twin sons, Jay and Richard who both became pharmacists and ran Twins Pharmacy outside of Trenton. I know this because my father, Leo L. Goldman, M.D. who had an office at 323 and later 321 Market Street used Alexander’s as his dispensing pharmacy for his patients. I spent many good times at Alexander’s Pharmacy.
