High Point Civic Leader Herman Bernard to Dedicate New Synagogue
Herman Bernard, prominent High Point businessman and civic leader, will join the B'nai Israel congregation for the dedication of its new Synagogue on Kensington Drive.

Bernard is a former president of the congregation and a veteran of five major World War II campaigns. He lives at 304 Edgedale with his wife and two children, and in retirement enjoys deep sea fishing, swimming, and coin collecting, aiming to complete the Becker gold coin set from Rutherford County.
