Taken from "History of Pottawattamie County" of 1907

A Hebrew church was organized in 1904 with J. Galinski as the first president with eighteen members, also a Sabbath school of twenty-five members.  During 1904-5, the society created a church on Mynster Street at a cost, including the lot, of $6,600.

The present president is Geo. Whitebook (as of 1907).

The Council Bluffs Hebrew Society

The Council Bluffs Hebrew Society was organized in 1880 and incorporated in 1882.  The first officers were Benj. Newman, G. H. Mossler, Simon Eisman and others.  Their meetings were in various halls until they purchased Temple Emanuel on North Seventh Street, which they subsequently sold to the Swedish Baptists.

They will hold their meetings this year (1907) in Grand Army hall.   Its ritual is the Hebrew Reform.
