Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Jewish community of 1769 to that of 1917 is a far cry--the one resident of colonial times to the lawyers, doctors, bankers, artists, merchant princes and artisans of today. Success to a phenomenal degree has been theirs. What they accomplished has been by virtue of their own brain and good right arm. To penal and eleemosynary institutions they were practically strangers. They have, it is true, figured in the criminal courts--as the brightest of lawyers ; their escutcheons are often crossed with the bar sinister of a rope--it is not pendant from a tree, but a peddler's pack. Of all the successful Jews In Richmond today there is not one of whom it can be truthfully said that he owes aught of it to "pull." Theirs has been the conquest of "push." The remarkable part is all this has been achieved by stress of energy alone. They came to this country with only their good names, their indomitable wills, with the single purpose of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and the right to practice their ancient faith as their consciences dictated. -- Pg.

THE HEBREW CEMETERY. A meeting of the Congregation Beth Shalome, held February 18, 1816, adopted the following: "Resolved, That Messrs. Benjamin Wolfe, Manuel Judah, and Samuel Myers be appointed a committee to investigate the records of the Common Hall, concerning the appropriation of some ground that was laid off for burying-grounds, for the different religious societies some time back, and that they use their endeavors to obtain said ground for this congregation." And at a subsequent meeting held June 9, 1816, Benjamin Wolfe, chairman of the committee, laid before the meeting the following ordinance of the Common Hall, appropriating a lot of ground to the congregation for a burying-ground, with a plat of the same: "An Ordinance Concerning the Hebrew Society of Richmond: "Be it ordained by the president and the Common Council of the City of Richmond, in Common Hall assembled, and it is hereby ordained by the authority of the same, That one acre of land belonging to the City of Richmond, lying upon Shockoe Hill, as laid off and designated in a plot of the said land made by Richard Young, surveyor of the City of Richmond, and the same is hereby vested in the congregation called in Hebrew the Kaal Kadosh Beth Shalome, in English, the Congregation of the House of Peace, to be by them held and exclusively used as a burying-ground, subject to their rites and laws, for that purpose and for that alone." On motion it was resolved that the congregation do accept the lot, and that the ordinance and survey be recorded; that a vote of thanks be given Benjamin Wolfe, a member of the Common Hall, for his unremitted exertions in procuring for the congregation the lot of ground from the Common Hall for a buryingground; that four...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reform Advocate: Jews of Richmond These early papers were unfortunately destroyed in 1865, when the Confederates evacuated Richmond and the city was set on fire. As evidence of the existence of a communial organization, prior to 1791, the address of the Hebrew Congregations of New York, Philadelphia, Charleston and Richmond, in 1790, to George Washington may be cited. This congratulatory address to the Father of His Country and General Washington's reply are herewith appended: "The address of the Hebrew Congregations in the cities of Philadelphia, New York, Richmond and Charleston, to the President of the United States: "Sir - It is reserved for you to unite in affection for your character and person every political and religious denomination of men, and in this will the Hebrew Congregations aforesaid yield to no class of their fellow-citizens. "We have hitherto been prevented by various circumstances peculiar to our situation from adding our congratulations to those which the rest of America have offered on your elevation to the chair of the federal government. Deign, then, illustrious sir, to accept this our homage. "The wonders which the Lord of Hosts hath worked in the days of our forefathers have taught us to observe the greatness of His wisdom and His might through the events of the late glorious revolution; and, while we humble ourselves at His footstool in thanksgiving and praise for the blessing of His deliverance, we acknowledge you, the leader of American armies, as His chosen and beloved servant. But not to your sword alone is present happiness to be ascribed; that, indeed, opened the way to freedom, but never was it perfectly secure until your hand gave birth to the Federal Constitution and you renounced the joys of retirement to seal by your administration in peace what you had achieved in war. "To the eternal God, who is thy refuge, we commit in our prayers the care of thy precious life; and when, full of years, thou shalt be gathered unto thy people, thy righteousness shall go before thee, that the Lord hath set apart the godly for Himself, whilst thy name and thy virtues will remain an indelible memorial on our minds. "For and in behalf and under the authority of the several congregations aforesaid. "Manuel Josephson." "Philadelphia, December 13, 1790." To this address the President was pleased to reply as follows: "Answer: To the Hebrew Congregations in the cities of Philadelphia, New York, Charleston and Richmond: "Gentlemen - The liberality of sentiment toward each other, which marks every political and religious denomination of men in this country, stands unparalleled in the history of nations. "The affection of such a people is a treasure beyond the reach, of calculation, and the repeated proofs which my fellow citizens have given of their attachment to me and approbation of my doings, form the purest source of my temporal felicity. The affectionate expressions of your address again excite my gratitude and receive my warmest acknowledgement. "The power and goodness of the Almighty, so strongly manifested in the events of the late glorious Revolution, and his kind interposition in our behalf, have been no less visible in the establishment of our present equal government. In war He directed the sword, and in peace He has ruled in our councils. My agency in both has been guided by the best intentions and a sense of duty I owe to my country. "And as my exertions have hitherto been amply rewarded by the approbation of my fellow-citizens, I shall endeavor to deserve a continuance of it by my future conduct. "May the same temporal and eternal blessings which you implore for me rest upon your congregations. "G. Washington." This reply was preserved in the archives of Beth Shalome. The most valued probably, of many valuable documents, it shared the fate of the others in th...
