There have been Jewish communities in the United States since colonial times. Early Jewish communities were primarily Sephardi (Jews of Spanish and Portuguese descent), composed of immigrants from Brazil and merchants who settled in cities. Until the 1830s, the Jewish community of Charleston, South Carolina, was the largest in North America. In the late 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s, many Jewish immigrants arrived from Europe. For example, many German Jews arrived in the middle of the 19th century, established clothing stores in towns across the country, formed Reform synagogues, and were active in banking in New York.

Refugees arrived from diaspora communities in Europe after the Holocaust and, after 1970, from the Soviet Union. Poli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
