Publisher's Synopsis
In his book History of a Chicago Synagogue: Agudas Achim North Shore Congregation, Rabbi Philip Lefkowitz has provided a treasure trove of information, rare photographs, and historic documents that together offer a rich history of the synagogue in which he has served as the rabbinic leader, and in which so many others devoted their heart and soul to sustain and preserve. There is much in this book that will captivate the interest of anyone who wishes to learn more about the rich heritage of the Chicago Jewish community. This volume also serves as a loving tribute to Rabbi Lefkowitz's son, the late Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Lefkowitz, who brought pride to his family during his brief life span through his care and devotion to others.
