Periodical published by the Bialystoker Center and Home for the Aged with articles, poems, and updates about the landsmanshaft and old folks home. "The Bialystoker Center takes its name from the town of Bialystok, an industrial city in what is now Poland. The Jewish Bialystoker immigrant community in New York City has a long and rich history, having established a number of mutual benefit societies and a synagogue as early as the 1860s. The Bialystoker Center itself grew out of efforts to provide foreign aid to the regions of Eastern Europe devastated by World War I. A Bialystoker Relief Committee was founded in 1919 to coordinate the work of existing Bialystoker landsmanshaft, and in 1921 this evolved into the Bialystoker Center, a new landsmanshaft created as an umbrella organization to oversee the other Bialystoker groups, provide a central meeting space, and direct their charitable and cultural programs. By the mid 1920s, with the recovery of Eastern Europe and the passage of national immigration restrictions, the Center's focus shifted to supporting the existing Jewish community in New York. A central component of this new mission was the creation of a Home for the Aged. Plans for a new building to house both the Bialystoker Center and the Home for the Aged were begun in 1927. The cornerstones were laid in 1929 and the completed building was inaugurated during a large ceremony in 1931." (Landmark Preservation Commission).
