#DYK March 10 is National No Smoking Day (in the UK)?This sign once hung in the Ohr Knesseth Israel Sphard-Rogers Avenue Synagogue during a breif moment in history before indoor smoking was banned but in a time after people needed reminders not to light a fire on Shabbat. A 1993 article in The Baltimore Sun says that when this synagogue merged with the Beth Jacob Synagogue, its objects went into the collection of the Jewish Historical Society. The example the arcticle gives is this very sign. Rogers Avenue Synagogue Collection, JMM 1993.052.074. -- source link
