They are recorded in the 38th edition of Michigan Jewish History, the annual journal of the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan (JHS). "The Jews of Houghton-Hancock and Their Synagogue" and "Michigan Scholars Shed New Light on Ancient Dura-Europos Synagogue" are only two of the arti- cles appearing in the 1998 issue of the longest, continuously published journal of local Jewish history. "The journal is a vehicle through which the excitement of history cad be conveyed to today's generation of readers," says JHS President James Grey. The publication goes to all JHS members and to near and dis- rant libraries. Rochelle Berger Elstein, bibliogra- pher at the Northwestern University Library, wrote the Houghton- Hancock piece. "The Jewish population of Houghton-Hancock increased sub- stantially during the last quarter of the (last) century as the economy of the area grew, driven by a market for copper that increased with the spread of electric power," writes Elstein, who holds a Ph.D. in American studies
