Dr. Israel Brown AZA

From Wikibbyo

Dr. Israel Brown AZA #256 is a chapter of the Aleph Zadik Aleph international order located in the Tidewater area of southeastern Virginia, drawing members from the cities of Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake. It is a member of Virginia Council and thus Eastern Region. "DIB", as it is known, was founded c. 1938 in honor of Dr. Israel Brown -- a widely praised Jewish member of the Virginia House of Delegates and Norfolk physician who, upon his death in 1928, was found to have saved and thereafter given much of his life's savings to charity. It has held a strong presence in the area for nearly 75 years and is currently known throughout the region as a strong chapter. The chapter rose to international prominence in 2009 when its very own Aleph Saul Brodsky became the Grand Aleph Shaliach on International Board.
