As a professional researcher with a keen interest in documentation and preservation, I have authored and compiled a number of books relating to the topics of Jewish genealogy, cemeteries, synagogue architecture & local Jewish history including:
▪ Jewish Cemeteries of the Delmarva Peninsula - Family Line Publications 1995
▪ Pioneer American Synagogues: A State By State Guide - Heritage Books 1997
▪ Jewish Genealogy Resources: Mid-Atlantic States - Apollo Press 1999
▪ American Synagogues: A Photographic Journey, Volume One - Self-Published E-Book, 2008
▪ Historic Synagogues of Philadelphia & The Delaware Valley - The History Press 2008
I am currently working on a book of vintage photographs of the West Virginia Jewish Community for Arcadia Publishing. Plans call for a publication date of Summer 2010. Because of the widespread success of Volume One of "American Synagogues: A Photographic Journey", I have plans to create a Volume Two documenting even more American synagogues.
