A blank membership certificate for B'nai B'rith, the world's oldest continually operating Jewish service organization. B'nai B'rith was founded on October 13, 1843, in New York City by Henry Jones and 11 others as a Jewish counterpart of fraternal orders then flourishing in the United States, but soon began to exercise political influence on behalf of world Jewry. Today, B'nai B'rith engages in community service and welfare activities in more than 50 countries.Image: Louis Kurz; Restoration: Lise Broer and Adam Cuerden
