Description
These bequest boards had been sold off by Hebrew Union College at an unidentified time.

The boards were found during the renovation of a bathroom in a private home in Cincinnati. The marble boards had been reversed so that the names were not visible and the unused side became the walls of the shower stall. Upon removal the true nature of the marble slabs came to light.
