Download or read book The Jewish Community of Savannah written by Valerie Frey and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only five months after Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe established the new colony of Georgia in 1733, pioneering Jewish settlers arrived at her shores. They landed in Savannah, where over the next several centuries they built a thriving community within one of the South's most revered cities. Savannah's Jewish citizenry, while a well-defined entity on its own, is also steeped in the rich, overall heritage of the area, contributing to every facet of civic, business, and cultural life. The Jewish Community of Savannah celebrates, in word and image, the colorful history of one of the nation's oldest established Jewish communities. Vintage photographs culled from the Savannah Jewish Archives, housed in the Georgia Historical Society, reveal what life was like in days gone by. Early twentieth-century scenes depict Savannah Jews not only in times of steadfast worship and engaged in earnest business efforts, but also in lighter moments of celebration and recreation. The three local congregations are all represented in this collection, including those practicing Reform Judaism (Congregation Mickve Israel), Orthodox Judaism (Congregation B'nai B'rith Jacob), and Conservative Judaism (Congregation Agudath Achim.) Many readers will be surprised and delighted to view images of their ancestors within this treasured volume.

Download or read book The Cohen Family and the Jewish Community in Coastal South Carolina and Georgia written by Deborah Dundas and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-03-31 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish community in coastal South Carolina and Georgia was integrally involved in social and civic life with its members rising to the pinnacles of both. Research into the history of this region through the years spanning 1669-1915 demonstrates this characteristic of Southern society during this period. An examination of pertinent primary and secondary source documents reveals that members of one family, the Cohen family, were elites in Savannah, who were prominent in the politics of their city, the State of Georgia and the South. Their story illustrates the degree to which coastal Jews were full participants in lowcountry life.
