Special thanks to Ed Schultz and Kenny Nelson for their reviews, contributions and patient guidance throughout the writing process. Thanks also to USM Professor Emeritus Eileen Eagan, project leader of the original Portland Women’s History Trail (PWHT), who made thoughtful suggestions and allowed the Portland Jewish History Trail to repurpose the PWHT website software architecture and app; and to USM Professor Emeritus Candace Kanes, also of the PWHT.
Much appreciation also to our additional subject matter reviewers: Rabbi Gary Berenson, Matt Goldfarb, Jessica Lantos, and David Turesky; and to the Maine Jewish Museum and its staff for their support in editing and production.
