Located in Eudora, the B'nai Israel Cemetery is an historically important part of not only the LJCC, but of northeastern Kansas writ large. Placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 2013, the LJCC owns this property and serves as its steward. Join us on June 11th at 10am for a tour of this historic property. Historian and Professor Emeritus of KU, David Katzman will lead us in a discussion of the deep history of the B'nai Israel Cemetery and the historical significance of Jews in 19th Century Eudora. Included as well on this tour is the Asher Cohn Park, named for one of Eudora's original settlers and a prominent member of the German Jewish community of 19th Century Eudora. We invite families with young children to join us at Asher Cohen at 10:30am for refreshments and playtime. Sunhats are recommended!
