Zelig Blumenthal, a Judaica store, was run by Mordechai Blumenthal. Zelig Blumenthal opened the store in 1950 after arriving in America. He was a seventh generation Noah scribe and eventually passed the craft onto his son who provided Torah scrolls to synagogues. The shop also sold various sorts of Judaica. The store closed in 2010 after 60 years.
