At the turn of the previous century, Birmingham’s Jewish community needed a boost. Even though it was growing — much like their adopted city’s overall population — there was an increasing sense that more cohesion was needed. So a group of young men from Knesseth Israel Synagogue met in 1906 to form an association that would provide a social outlet (initially for young Jewish men only). Dr. Henry Swedlow was elected president. Assisting him were S.J. Levine, Mosley Sugarman, Jake Allen, Isadore Shapiro, Moses Cohen, Jake Goldstein, Sol Adelson, J.M. Levine, and Louis Walowitz.
