Isadore (Shea) and Yetta Prezant Levitt are standing inside the Congregation Zera Abraham synagogue in a full-length portrait. Yetta Levitt is wearing a dress with a corsage and Isadore Levitt is wearing a suit and hat with a boutonnière. They came from Russia in the early 1900s and settled in the Eastern European Jewish neighborhood around West Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado. The Zera Abraham synagogue, at 1560 Julian street, was founded in 1887 by former colonists in Cotopaxi, Colorado.
