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.
