Interviewed by Leslie Kelen, Rose Leibowitz (b. 1908) talks about her parents' lives in Rumania, their coming to America, her father's experiences in the egg and grocery businesses, her childhood, and Jewish rituals practiced in the home. She also remembers her involvement in various organizations in Salt Lake City, including the Talmud Torah ladies, B'nai B'rith, the Traveler's Aid Society, United Way, the Welfare Fund drive, and the Jewish Relief Society (which became the Jewish Family Service). Other topics covered include the differences between the B'nai Israel and Montefiore congregations, the social "clique-isness" of the women in the Jewish community, Rabbi Cardin, the high holy days, some of the people who were "bulwarks" of the Montefiore Congregation, and Zionism. She also recalls some of the locl scandals, the anit-Semitic situation in Salt Lake schools, and the younger generation of Jewish people moving away from Salt Lake. Finally, she speaks of her involvement in Hadassah, Youth Alleyah, fund raising, blue box luncheons, USO, the Jewish Relief Society, and help Jewish soldiers during World War II. 177 pages. |

I'm still opposed to where they do it at the Community Center as kindof an everyday thing. But they would come to thse luncheons, at the hotel, with their best spring outfit, new hat. Andit was really quite a social function. And iwe would q just do it up brown. Here. This is when she spoke, we were still charging $10 a place. This was the ticket. We didn't have fancy tickets. And this was our first one. We didn't have fancy cardboard tickets the. And everybody paid the same. Now, there was a family here, the Perelman, here, the one year. This wasour third annual donor Q And t.oe had as a door prize luncheon. They werealready charing 12.50. He was a marvelous drtlst-a man in our Jewish community, Bernie Perflman.
