City Guide

Description: In 1950, Rabbi Zelig Blumenthal, a seventh generation Yerushalmi, came to New York City from Jerusalem, Israel with his family. In New York, he saw that there was a growing demand to supply synagogues with beautiful Torah scrolls. Remembering the workmanship from the old generations, he decided to supply the traditional quality from the old city. He passed his knowledge on to his son Rabbi Mordechai Blumenthal who diversified into all types of Judaica.
