Book review/description:

A Walk to Shul: Chicago Synagogues of Lawndale and Stops on the Way is a street-by-street stroll past the Jewish institutions and businesses of the old West Side neighborhood, published in 2003 by the Chicago Jewish Historical Society. The 159-page paperback is illustrated with photographs of the great synagogues and modest shtibelekh. The work was originally projected as a picture book - Synagogues of Lawndale - that would preserve, through photographs and text captions, the history of the many synagogues which stood in the Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago's West Side from about 1910 until the late 1950s.
