Jewish Community Center of Berkeley scrapbooks, 1954-1961

The Jewish Community Center of Berkeley was first a branch of the Oakland Jewish Community Center founded in 1951. It was initially located at Berkeley’s Congregation Beth El before it made several moves and became the Berkeley Area Jewish Community Center in Kensington, Calif.
