Lewis was first board president of the York, Pa., Jewish Community Center, serving from 1925-1929 and again from 1949-1956 and his descendants remain active in the JCC. The JCC produced a book \u201cCelebrating 100 Years: York Jewish Community Center&#8221; in connection with the anniversary.\u00a0 The York County Heritage Trust recognized that book recently along with other publications about York County history.
