Rev S M Morais
526 N 5th St Phil D Sir
The above inscription is off the cover of a book in Hebrew which has been in my possession for over 40 years
I take it that the Mr Cohen above was the Father of Joseph Cohen at one time Prothanatory[?] of Philadelphia and Eleazer who was a druggist--When I was a little boy the family consisted of 4 males and few females--always designated as the Boys & Girls."
Do the Archives of Mickve Israil show Mr Cohen as Hazan? and if so when did he die? was he the first Hazan after the congregation organised? and when did Mickve Israel organise? Please excuse [?] very Respectfully P. De Cordova - Identifier
