summary

Adorned with an intricate pattern and of a triangular, oblong shape, this document is a striking record of the Anniversary Dinner of the Hebrew Benevolent Society held at the Washington Hotel in New York City. The seemingly never-ending, delectable menu has still the potential to stir up an appetite! The Hebrew Benevolent Association was formed in 1822, a joint venture between Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews, to“ameliorate the condition of the unfortunate of the same faith.”

Neatly taped on verso. Folio.
