The 95th Anniversary
On October 12, 2008 we celebrated the 95th anniversary of the founding of the
Israel Cantor Family Society.
History:
The Israel Cantor Family Society (ICFS) is one of the oldest landsmonschaften
(Jewish family or town groups) in the United States. Founded in New York in
1913, it provides its members with a sense of history, lively meetings and
events, and two cemeteries. With
nearly 90 members, the Society continues to thrive in the 21st Century.
