               I hope that you have (or will) enjoy Jewish Albuquerque.  My own             family's story in Albuquerque began about 1912 when two great uncles arrived        from England by way of Salt Lake City. The two brothers, David and Louis Meyer,    established a men's clothing shop in downtown Albuquerque and helped to found   Congregation B'nai Israel. Part of the adventure of writing and    researching the   book was uncovering my own history.  I hope that Jewish Albuquerque brings   back good memories, encourages conversation and most of all, serves as a catalyst    for you to uncover your own family stories.
