What TBJ means to Brenda Seiden

Day 5 of the counting of the Omer.

Temple Beth Jacob has been in my life for lots and lots of years. During my college years, I taught Religious School in the basement of the South Street TBJ - all the classes men in one large room with pull down walls to separate the classes - three walls to each class. In 1953, I married and moved to Poughkeepsie but my husband and I came back to TBJ. Two years later we moved to Yonkers but still came back to TBJ. In 1959 we made yet another move back to Newburgh and became a permanent part of TBJ. Two years ago I was given the extreme honor of being named as a Lifetime member of the Board of Trustees. It is my job to remain a part of TBJ as long as I am able.
