Beth David Sisterhood Articles of Incorporation

In 1926, in an effort to create a new Hebrew school and Jewish social center for the West Colfax area of Denver, Colorado, Mrs. N. H. Chernyck, Mrs. S. Friedman, and Mrs. Jacob Gordon founded Beth David Sisterhood. The Beth David Hebrew School and Center met at the home of the Reverend and Mrs. Gordon at 1490 Julian Street. The school's first officers were William Yoelin, President; J. Yoches, Vice President; and Louis Bernstein, Treasurer. Abe Gardenschwartz, Rev. Gorden, Morris Cohen, B.H. Rushnefsky, and Sol Wargon served as directors of the school. In November 1928, Beth David Sisterhood formed an alliance with Beth David Brotherhood and the Denver Hebrew Institute, and this group became known as the Hebrew Educational Alliance in 1929. Beth David Sisterhood became formally incorporated on June 12, 1930.
