Lasker Lodge Collection
Scope and Contents
The Lasker Lodge Collection consists of a bound minute book, beginning with the first meeting on June 26, 1887 and ending with a meeting on January 23, 1922. In the minute book, besides the meeting minutes, there are lists of members, dues accounting, and tributes to deceased members. The Yoval (Jubilee) Book commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the lodge, containing history, photos, tributes, advertisements and pages about later B’nai B’rith groups, women, young women and young men. Also included is the lodge's original 1887 charter. The charter was donated to the JHSSD by Ted Banks in 1992, when he gave a talk at a meeting of the historical society, a recording of which can be found in the Jewish Historical Society of San Diego Oral History Archive.
