Pages : 44
Book Description
Excerpt from Synagogue and Jewish Church: A Congregational History of North Carolina Emigrating from the self-governing Jewish communities of their European homelands, the immigrants made a first break with a traditional society. When they debarked in Richmond, Bal timore, and Charleston, they found Jewish communities with Viable congregations. Moving. Into the agrarian hinterland, they made a second break from cornmunal constraints and rabbinic authority. The country Jew, Rabbi Edward Calisch of Richmond wrote in 1900, is in measure cut off from the house of his breth ren. Like the limb of a tree that no longer draws nourishment from a life-giving trunk.3 Kosher food and a minyan were avail able in Baltimore or Richmond, but not reliably in New Bern or Rocky Mount. Jewish religious life in North Carolina organized slowly, as was the case generally in the South. In 1861 there were only 21 congregations in the region, and only Baltimore had a rabbi with verifiable c'fedentials.4 Before the Civil War not one congregation existed in North Carolina.
