Rabbi Wolf was the Rabbi of a Chicago congregation in 1956

I know this because I was at this congregation in 1956, when I was 6 years old. The congregation was in the city of Chicago, not the suburbs. It was popular because the dads played cards in the basement while the kids got religious lessons and services. It was the only religious school experience I ever enjoyed: No homework, just an easy to read book and stories during class.

I didn't edit the actual article because I don't remember enough to be helpful, and I can't find sources, and anybody I could ask for more information is long gone.

Perhaps one of you can take the ball and run with it.§ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevelitt (talk • contribs) 08:11, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
