Back to School Exhibit

It’s September, time for the kids to go back to school.  As a tribute to the “good old school days,” the Jewish Historical Society of North Jersey will have a September exhibit at our facility at 17-10 River Road, Fair Lawn, NJ of past area schools, including photos of past teachers, students and memorabilia. Below is a sampling of the exhibit.
