Marble Bequest Board from Hebrew Union College

19th century

caption:
Late 19th Century Bequest list; the light-colored marble board commemorates the founding donors of Hebrew Union College. The names of these donors were written in the Book of Memorial, the original being located at the American Jewish Archives. The names of the legators and the amount bequeathed by them or donated in their memory were recorded in the Book of Memorial and on each recurring Yahrzeit, Kaddish would be recited in their memory by students of the college.
