The Little Shul That Could: 100 Years of Mt. Sinai

Jews began settling in Wausau, Wisconsin in 1873. In 1914, they founded Mt. Sinai, the first synagogue in Wausau. In essays, memoirs, and photographs, this volume tells the story of a small Midwestern congregation. Over the years, Mt Sinai has weathered financial uncertainty, inadequate buildings, and the difficulty of finding and keeping a rabbi as a small congregation in a primarily non-Jewish area. At 100 years old, Mt. Sinai finds itself stronger than ever, serving 83 families who span Generation X through "The Greatest Generation." With a beautiful, energy efficient building, a healthy endowment and a beloved rabbi who has been with the congregation for over a quarter of a century, Mt. Sinai really is the little shul that could.
