Biographical history
The Y. M. H. A. flourished as a social vehicle for young men in the early 1920s. It was an amalgamation of Sons of Israel, Hebrew Boys Athletic Club and the Hebrew Literary & Dramatic Society. Athletic activities included basketball played in a gym rented at No. 4 Fire Station, Cumberland Street. The bowling league of eight teams played at the Ideal Alleys. Sam Berger was the president, Jack Horwitz the treasurer, Sam Roodman, corresponding secretary, David Bilsky, vice-president and Sam Coplan, 2nd vice-president. The Booster, a 46 page pamphlet of the Y. M. H. A. outlined association activities, along with short biographies of professional men, including Benjamin Goldfield, Lewis Cohen, Dr. A. Slone, Dr. H. Dover, Louis Lighstone and men attending university. The Bulletin was a weekly newsletter of both the Y.M.H.A. and the Y.W.H.A. (Young Women's Hebrew Association).
