Clifton Jewish Center
This week we are featuring the Clifton Jewish Center. In 1943, the Clifton Jewish Council was formed and the following year, in 1944, the name was changed to The Clifton Jewish Center. The ground was broken for the center on Delaware Avenue, Clifton, in 1948. Below are selected archived photos of the Clifton Jewish Center’s past members and activities.
