According to source, Archaeologists peeling back layers of history beneath a historic synagogue in Baltimore have uncovered what is believed to be the oldest Jewish ritual bath complex in the United States.

Hints of the presence of the 1845 bath, or mikvah, were first detected during excavations in the Lloyd Street Synagogue in 2001. But further digging this winter has revealed about a quarter of a 5-foot-deep wooden tub and linked it to a cistern found in 2008, and to remains of a brick hearth once used to warm the bath’s water.

“The idea of a ritual bath complex helps fill out the history of Jewish religious practice in this country,” said Avi Decter, executive director of the Jewish Museum of Maryland, of which the old Lloyd Street Synagogue is now a part. “This is a very ancient practice, going back thousands of years.”

The 1845 mikvah is just a few feet from a pair of more modern, tile-lined baths, built and used by the Shomrei Mishmeres Orthodox congregation that used the building after 1905.

According to source, the former dean of the University of Maryland School of Law has agreed to return more than $300,000 of a $350,000 bonus questioned in a state legislative audit earlier this year, the attorney general’s office announced Wednesday.

The legislative audit, released in February, revealed that former dean Karen Rothenberg received $410,000 in “questionable” payments between fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2009. The audit embarrassed the state university system and hastened the retirement of Rothenberg’s former boss, University of Maryland, Baltimore President David Ramsay.

Rothenberg had agreed to return $60,000 earlier in the year, and she agreed to return the rest, minus taxes she has already paid on it, as part of the settlement. She will repay $311,398 in two installments, due at the end of this year and next June. She cannot face state prosecution for her actions in accepting the payments.
