Congregation Linath Azedeck (Portland, Or.)

Portland's Congregation Linath Azedeck was founded as an Orthodox congregation by Eastern Europeans, many of whom had been aided by the Industrial Removal Office (active 1900-1917), which sought to persuade and assist Jewish workers to leave congested cities of the East Coast for cities where smaller Jewish communities existed and a variety of jobs were available.
