Rocking Idelsohn Cards
For every occasion, an Idelsohn card! These cards showcase some of our favorite album covers and celebrate events both major and minor, from Bar Mitzvahs and weddings to good old fashioned general happiness. Use them daily, safe in the knowledge that all proceeds go to the Idelsohn Society and allow us to further our work in proving that history sounds different when you know where to start listening.
