During her interview, Margaret Wagner Bary (1957-) describes her family's immigration history in detail. Bary recalls the synagogue's meeting spaces vividly, first in a church on the southeast corner of Clinton and Remsen [Spencer Memorial Church] which has now been converted into apartments; one of her first memories, at 6 years old, is being asked up to bima because it was her birthday that month and Rabbi Gelber lifted her up. She later remembers the services at the Bossert Hotel with Marion Cohen singing and learning about the 1967 [Six-Day Arab-Israeli] war in religious school as it was happening. She also remembers services at the Grace [Episcopal] Church on Grace Court alley. She describes how her interest in Jewish culture continued through high school and college. Bray joined an Israeli dance club at Hunter High School, participated in a young Jewish leadership program, and traveled to Israel in 1973 (just prior to the Yom Kippur Arab-Israeli war). She describes her dance education beginning with classes taught at Saint Ann's after school, followed by classes in Manhattan and eventually studying with the New Dance Group Studios (Martha Graham), Alvin Ailey Studios, and extensively with Merce Cunningham. She describes wonderfully her family traditions on high holidays and meeting her husband through Israeli folk dancing. Bray and her husband officially joined BHS when their daughter was 8 years old (1995) because they wanted the children to go to Hebrew school. Interview conducted by Sady Sullivan.
