1963

Posted on August 3, 2022

On November 25, 1963, Temple Beth Ahm held a Memorial Service for President John F. Kennedy. The turnout was as high as for the High Holiday services. The temple had an active dramatic group during these years, mounting such productions as Guys and Dolls and Fiorello. A gala Bar Mitzvah Ball for the temple was held in 1965. In 1967, Benjamin Margolis was engaged as the new principal of the Religious School, beginning a long tradition of service to our community. And in 1968, the name of the short street leading from Baltusrol Way to our building was changed to Temple Drive.
