The story of a randomly selected handful of Jews who played important roles in shaping the state of Iowa and some of its cities during the state’s early years.
Thank you for your extensiveu research for this exceptional read.I grew up in a Sioux City neighborhood that had two synagogues as well as a vibrant Jewish Community Center. I was a neighborhood child who turned the electricity on and off at the Rabbi's home on Sabbath.It was a diverse neighborhood that I am now glad to have lived. Sioux City had many Jewish leaders who demonstrated altruism. I think Sioux City has been compromised as those leaders died and their educated children moved out of Iowa (used to be three synagogues, now only one). So appreciate your writing Arnie. BTW, I get orthopedica care at Steindler Clinic which will soon open a big location in North Liberty, there is also a clinic in Cedar Rapids.
Arnold, The Davidson Family owned a department store in Sioux City which was bought by Younkers. Sioux City had two Younkers, Davidson and Martin, a block apart on 4th Steet. Both magnificent with lovely service and products like annaclairs.
